re: Texas is the most important game on the schedule. Convince me otherwise.

"we get a rematch against Bama in the playoff."
the only way LSU replays Bama in the playoff is if LSU WINS the regular season match up. LSU loses, they don't get the same treatment.

I didnt give up on winning the conference nor do I think Bama drops 2 games.

I just wanted everyone's opinion.

I mean if you all lose to Tech , that's your problem .

The next game is always the most important.

Really? That is easy!

Obviously the goal is to win all the games you play, if you do that you control your own destiny which is all you want. But you can break it down even further for LSU which would be three of the goals to attain.

1. Win the West
2. Win the SEC
3. Win the NC


So the UT game while quite important to the outcome and where we might play in the bowl season that games outcome will have ZERO affect on LSU’s chances of attaining those first two goals “winning the sec west and winning the sec.” And if we attain the first two goals, then as history would tell us we will get a shot to attain the third goal on LSU’s list.

No for us, and it has been for the past 8 years, the most important game on the schedule is the Bama game! And there really can’t be a legitimate debate against that! If we win the Bama game chances are we attain the first goal which allows you to try and attain the second and third goals on our list!!

Nope, no question about it the Bama game is still the most important game to win on our schedule, and probably remains that way until Satan retires!!!

Ok, there ya go Texas isn’t anywhere near the most important game on our schedule! What that game will do though when we win it, is once again shows our competition, we don’t frick around and we will come into your house and beat your arse!!!!

From the standpoint of, you know, actual goals, the Texas game is the least important. If LSU goes 11-1, the best case scenario for that 1-loss would be to Texas on the road in early September.

You don't want the 1 loss to be to Bama, obviously.

You'd rather it happen OOC, but not to a creampuff.

LSU will be at least a #2 seed in the CFP if they go 11-1 and only loss is to Texas.

It is decidedly the least important game from an objective point of view.


Now, if you want to get into subjective points about what it might do to the psyche of the team one way or another, have at it.

They all important. Frick it. We Comin

Nope. TU game is maybe third most behind UA and UF. Just an important opener we had many of those. We lose it we can rebound by sweeping the rest of schedule which is a tall order but not impossible. We beat them we still have UF and UA. Those two games are much more important.

SEC championship hasnt meant jack shite for years now.

What? The SEC Champion has gone to either the BCS National Championship or College Football Playoff for the last 13 years in a row.

Bama managed to be the second SEC team for two of those 13 years, both times with 11-1 seasons. Another fun fact, only two teams have finished 11-1 without making it to the SEC Championship game over that time span: Bama (3 Times) and Florida (1 time).

So to recap:
- SEC champion goes to BCS title game or CFP 13/13 years (100%)
- Non-champion SEC school goes 2/13 years (15%)

SEC Championship definitely means jack shite!

Yeah I didn't understand that comment at all.
