SEC record is all that matters inside SEC play. LSU beat Ole Miss head to head and owns the tiebreaker.

As always, I'll be pulling for both to lose.

We control our own destiny in the west right now if it gets to the point we need an OM loss we root for miss state.


We never need to root for Aggie

I will never pull for A&M against OM, if we need that to happen we should have handled our own business.

Only game I will ever pull for A&M in is a bowl game, just because I want the SEC to win every bowl game we play.

Wrong. Right now LSU and Ole Miss have the same SEC record and LSU holds the tiebreaker. Both teams still have to play Alabama also.

I just want LSU to win the SECW. Ole Miss only has one conference loss so far. We win the tiebreaker if both the rebels and the tigers win out for the rest of the season. What I'm worried about, though, is a situation where we lose another conference game, which is entirely possible.

Frankly, our best chances involve Ole Miss having at least two conference losses. I don't care if that's against a&m, bama, or moo state.

LSU wins the division with wins over Alabama and Arkansas if paired with a loss by Ole Miss. IOW, LSU would know they are going to Atlanta earlier with an Ole Miss loss.

If Ole Miss beats Texas A&M, Bama, and State, LSU would need to also beat Texas A&M to win the division.

Ole Miss will beat A&M this weekend. Hopefully, our guys play the best ball they can and beat Bama in two weeks.

I am certain Ole Miss beats A&M, though. With their some of their best players out, pathetic offense, and limp-wristed coaching, A&M is not winning this weekend. I’m not pulling for A&M for any reason.

As much as I would like them to end up 8-4, that would mean they beat us...so they can lose out for all I care.

Nope. frick A&M. We control our own destiny and even if we didn't it's much better for us long term for A&M to be a dumpster fire from both a football and entertainment perspective.

We want the faggies to lose. Makes our win over the black bears look better.

I’m assuming the OP is anticipating a loss to Bama. But Bama would also need to lose a game as well.


If we lose to Bama we would probably need them to have 3 losses for us to make the SEC championship game. Don't know what the tie breaker would be if we, Alabama, and Ole Miss all had 2 conference losses, but I assume we would get screwed.

Let Ole Piss beat the Aggies to continue to prolong their suffering. Bama will still beat Ole Piss so it all works out!

Giant sinkhole. That's what I'm pulling for. Can't stand either school. I will however acknowledge that it would make LSU's beatdown of OM continue to shine if they keep winning, something they are historically incapable of.

I get the OP’s point.
Alabama is Alabama and it’s a long shot to beat them. What other help do we need is the point.

^^THIS^^

JMO, but it's one thing to hate on a rival and wish for their unending demise and ridicule. It's quite another to want the best possible outcome for the team you love.

Sometimes, the two coincide and you get the best of both worlds. That said...

I was wondering about the OTHER option, where you have to pick one of the two - wishing continued humiliation of a rival OR wanting the best possible outcome for your team.

We may very well lose to Bama. If that happens and Ole Piss runs the table then they win the SECW. Yeah yeah, I hear all of you screaming that "we should take care of business and OBTW screw the Aggies".

I'm simply being pragmatic - Ole Miss needs one more loss to increase our chances. This week, 4&8 has a chance to hand them that loss. I love the Tigers enough to hold my nose and wish for an Ole Miss loss - which is NOT the same as rooting for an aggie win.

I'd also be happy with a meteor strike on the stadium during the game, too.
