Graduation

I think Les has already cemented his legacy. Other than 2008, which was a rebuilding year, the team has been near the top of the SEC ever since Miles took over for Saban.

Obviously, if he and his team can finish the year 14-0 with the crystal football, he'll reach legendary status whenever he decides to retire.

But let's not forget that Miles earned the title of "The Mad Hatter" with some of the most gutsiest/sometimes bizarre playcalls in recent memory. His clock mismanagement hurt the national perception of him but I don't think anyone is denying that Les Miles is a fantastic football coach anymore.

After Arkansas knocked LSU out of a BCS bowl last year, LSU should be ready for this one. I'll give Arkansas the benefit of the doubt and say they can hang around for a half against LSU, but the 2nd half is where we'll see the depth of LSU really come into play and wear down that Arkansas defense.

Your logic is flawed. The main reason I support LSU/Bama in the NC Game (at this moment, this is a very fluid situation) is because those are clearly the two best teams in the country (1. LSU, 2. Alabama). The reason I can fill comfortable saying that is LSU has blown past every other opponent this season but were shut down by Bama's defense.

Also, there are no rules in the BCS that a team has to win their conference to make the championship game. Write a letter to the BCS committee arguing to have the rule implemented and then obviously Alabama wouldn't deserve to be in the game. But if the goal of the BCS is to put the two best teams on the field, then there's no doubt the two best teams in college football right now are LSU and Alabama.

But let's stop this talk about the NC game when there's no guarantee LSU will even make it there. They have two tough games left against another Top 5 opponent than a possible Top 10 opponent on the road.

Not at all. Jordan Jefferson was the starter for this team from the end of spring practice until his four game suspension. Jarrett Lee, the backup QB, came in and performed admirably. And honestly, coming from a senior QB with significant playing experience, that should have been expected.

In fact, I would say Les handled the situation better than any other coach in college football. If Les stays with Lee in that Bama game, LSU loses. Jordan Jefferson was the Offensive MVP of that game, and he's only improved since then.

This was always Jordan Jefferson's team and the other guys have seemed to really rally behind him in a big way.

Last night's game plan was brilliant and I believe that's how LSU should attack opposing defenses going forward. Jefferson and Lee don't have to be superstars. They just need to make plays (being perfect like they were last night sure helps) and don't put the defense in a tough situation.

I'm more worried about LSU playing Arkansas, because honestly I think Arkansas will have the best case for playing in the NC game if they beat LSU next Friday. So that game will mean a lot for both, and Arkansas always plays LSU tough.

Plus, LSU has never had an undefeated season in my lifetime so I'm a little concerned that the weight and pressure of the situation might get to be too much in these last three games.

At the moment LSU/Bama looks like the NC Game though. But really, playing in NOLA, I don't see anyone having a chance to beat LSU if they take care of business and end up in the BCS Championship Game.

Exactly. People shouldn't read anything into what happened against a Western Kentucky football team. Also, the game was Homecoming, and Jordan Jefferson has led the team the majority of the time he's been at LSU. He deserved to start the game, especially after saving the team against Alabama.

The two QB system worked in every game besides Alabama, and I think we can all agree that that game was an oddity, not the norm for LSU this season. If LSU wants win out, they will start Jarret Lee at QB for the remainder of the season with Jordan Jefferson coming in for 20-30 snaps a game (he's too good of a threat not to use him).

Les Miles knows this and won't allow any talk radio fodder to rattle his team's focus going forward. Yet if we continue to let this be a "controversy," I could very well see LSU losing to either Arkansas or Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.

No, the game between Oregon and Stanford Saturday will most likely decide who's playing in the NORTH division in the Pac 12. I believe UCLA controls their own destiny in the SOUTH division after the upset of Arizona State last Saturday.

I see OK State losing at least one game this year, while I think Stanford has a great chance of getting passed Oregon and running the table. If they do, there's no doubt in my mind a Pac 12 champion Stanford should play in the NC game over a 1 loss Alabama team.

As long as LSU wins out, it's going to be a 3 team race for the #2 ranking. I only see Alabama, Stanford and OK State having a legitimate shot at making it to the NC game. Everyone else is playing for an automatic BCS bowl birth.
