LSU beating Bama. Cuse was a good team and they played in the Dome, not Death Valley.

Clemson was sleepwalking when they lost to Syracuse.

Book it, Saban will not let his guys be anything but at peak for us. That's the way it has been for several years and I doubt it will change.

Clemson hadn't lost a game to an unranked opponent in like 6 years.
Bro, if you start using facts on the Rant, they're gonna ban you. Just saying.

Clemson always loses an easy one, so I get to say "Clemsoning" and it makes me sound cool.

I still think about Saban jumping into McCarron's arms after the 2013 game, even though it was a 3 TD difference that night.

Despite what he might say to the media, I firmly believe he always wants us more than any other conference game. Not just because he used to coach here, but because we've given him the most trouble in the last decade, win or lose.

Saban looked uncomfortable and almost embarrassed when asked about Les' firing last year. I think he still respects us over anyone else in the conference and will make sure his guys are prepared.

It would be a huge upset if we won. A bigger upset than Syracuse? I don't know. Hell, Troy beat us. That's less likely than either. All I know is that we haven't been competitive in that stadium in a LONG time. I'm staying realistic on this one. I'll pass the kool aid thanks.

If I were expecting LSU to win, I would have never started a thread about securing improbability. Improbable literally means “not probable; unlikely; probably won’t happen.” I’m just pointing out the fact that most high ranking teams suffer improbable losses every year. It’s not likely to happen, but it could, and that’s why we’re even interested. I’m still holding out hope.

Why? The line has almost two weeks to change.

Yet neither team will play a game in that time and it won't be available to bet until 6 days before the game

This isn't a subjective question. If LSU is a bigger underdog ON THE ROAD than a 21 point underdog was at home, LSU winning is more improbable.

Styles make fights. Syracuse can beat anyone in the country because of their style. They can also lose to anyone in the country as they have shown.

Syracuse beating Clemson was no surprise.

There is zero chance of LSU beating Bama and it would be world-shocking if it happened.

This isn’t even debatable.

Unfortunately, Syracuse was overlooked. Saban and Bama will not overlook LSU.

We run the table and finish as the No. 5 team in the country and Bama gets in at #2 and Georgia at #3, thanks to Hankey, Pankey Sankey.

If I'm betting I'm taking LSU and the points this game. I think it will be close. We might even win outright.
