Billyraychubbs is a pathetic idiot. He's no LSU fan. By his logic, why not just forfeit to Bama every year and use the extra week to get ready for Arky? I bet 'ol Billyray would agree with that strategy.

While it's likely another loss, I'd be interested how O/staff would handle a rematch. Gives us an idea if we're closer or further again before next November.

I opened this thread thinking that this was as dumb of a thing as you could say in it.

Recruits want to see LSU make the Playoffs every year. This could be the first of many.

why? another chance to watch my team. another opportunity to get behind and support my team. another chance at winning just one more game. another chance for some of those kids to play in one more college game. to give some of those kids a once in a lifetime opportunity. the real question is why WOULDNT you want to make the playoffs.... as a true fan anyhow...

It's a milestone. Being top 4 would be great for this program. Yes, of course we'd get smoked, but unless you're 100% pussy, you want a playoff berth.

Winners want to play for championships. Losers want to sit home.

Thank God our players don't think like you.

If you want to crown them, then crown their arse. But Alabama is who we thought they were. And we didn't "let them off the hook". They beat our arse fair and square.

We may still lose, but

a) we would likely score > 0
b) we now know the game plans (theirs & ours)

c) much harder to plan to defeat an opponent the second time around...that helps the loser of the first round.

and yes, just being in the Championship game helps w recruits.

Absolutely. Although there's very little chance of beating 'Bama it would be something for the program to hang it's hat on. The only way to win a title is to get into the playoff and try.

The Florida loss looks highly glaring, because we would control our destiny (except SEC-CG, of course) with just a loss to this particular Bama team, shut out or no.

What if Bama hangs 45 or 50 on UGA (even if the final is 49 - 31 for example) in the SEC-CG?

How good will our defense look in hindsight if Bama keeps rolling out half a hundred on everyone, including the playoffs?

I wish I could upvote this more. Never seen a fan base get so pissy over a 2 loss season.

Wait a minute.

In a previous similar situation, when a team had to face another for the second time, the team that lost the first game dropped back, learned from their previous loss, retooled and..........

Oh wait, never mind.....

Because we’ve never made the playoffs and you have to be in it to win it.
