Well i know its extremely unlikely but if Georgia beats us down badly we may not be in the BCS game. So while it isn't a difficult task, we do still have to earn the chance to play Bama again.

LSU will play for the NC regardless of what happens this weekend. LSU earned their place in the BCS CG already. The win over Bama just helped secure a spot in the SEC CG.

Is this a 100% certainty?

We all know how hard ESPN has been pimping the rematch with Bama, but apparently now they are implying that if we lose to UGA then we should be dropped out of the BCSCG.

Wrong.


Why?

The voters WILL NOT let Bama go to the title game just because LSU lost in a game that Bama didn't even have to play.

No MATTER the outcome.

If Bama goes to the title game now, the only team they can play is LSU.

As certain as any prediction for the future can be.

Voters would say, "but Alabama lost to the best team in the nation in overtime


i love it!! if only lsu had a #1 team to lose in overtime too as well they might keep their #1 ranking! instead they're stuck with potentially losing to shitty georgia so of course bama deserves to move ahead of them with their quality loss.



lovin' me some bcs

I doubt it. Certainly on paper we deserve it, and most everyone thinks we'll make it, but i imagine there is a slight possibility we get hosed.

If we were to lose who knows what the formula will spit out.

Did you seriously just take a fake quote in response to a hypothetical situation that probably won't happen that a random person pulled out of their arse as something to laugh about the absurdity of the BCS?

Really?

Yes, we're in regardless.

...and what have you been watching? Everyone on ESPN has been saying we're in regardless...even the people we all hate.

The only question in the season is Will Okie State earn a spot with a big W this saturday. IMO, yes. In ESPN's opinion, no.

Slight.

In that there is a slight possibility that you will quantum tunnel through your chair right now and teleport to the floor.

We have a safety net that will let us in....the same one that gave us the big push in 2007.

You would think LSU fans of all people would know how mutable the final regular season polls are compared to the "rules of thumb" that are used the entire season...

Look at it however you want. The fact uncertainty remains that a loss in the title game could result in some unknown drop, albeit, unlikely, the possibility remains. The possibility of Bama dropping at this point seems even less likely. Therefore, we are playing to earn a chance to play Bama again in my mind.

Bang your head all you want. The fact remains that it's not on lock. It's highly likely but who the hell knows what the pollsters could do if we lose. You don't, I don't, so my point remains.

But there is literally no reason to think that we will drop out of the title game.

None.

At all.

I don't really give a shite if we drop to #2 after a loss. 1) we would deserve it and 2) it wouldn't change our chances at a national title.

I just can't see any way that LSU isn't already in the NCG. I see it as a reward, getting to watch LSU play on saturday while Bama fans sit around hoping their team gets in. My only concern is avoiding serious injury.
