Well for the most part Saturdays loss put an end to LSU getting a shot at a BCS Bowl. Most likely Alabama and Florida will be 12-0 going into the SEC Championship game with the winner going on to the NC game in Pasadena and the loser going to the Sugar Bowl. You can have only 2 BCS bowls per Conference so LSU will be left out. Now if Alabama or Florida were to lose 2 of their last 3 games and then lose in the SEC Championship game. That team would have 3 losses and if LSU was 10-2 they could possibly jump that team for a BCS Bowl. I know that the likelyhood of this happening is slim to none but an interesting scenerio to dream about.:geaux:
I think if Alabama got drummed by Auburn, and drummed by UF, they wouldn't go to the Sugar. What are the chances of that happening though?
I don't know why but my gut tells me that this weeks Alabama game against Mississippi State is not going to be a gimmie. Alabama will probably win but I would not be surprised if Mississippi State Upsets them.
I am really diggin' your tab shift style dude . Looks like you may have started a trend even though you forgot that this actually happened in 2006 when we weren't in the SEC championship game yet still made it to a BCS game in the Sugar Bowl . I know because I was at the game . Have some faith brother ! :geaux:
yea in 2006 we beat Arkansas the last game of the year but they only had 1 loss and we had lost to Auburn and Florida so Arkansas faced Florida in the SECCG and the rest is history. After Arky lost to Fla the Sugar picked us over them. I had forgot about that. Keep the faith...
Even after the Bama loss, LSU is 8th in the BCS standings. Some of the teams in front of LSU (Georgia Tech, Cincinnati, TCU) may suffer from strength of schedule between now and then which might drop them behind LSU in BCS rankings. If the season ended today, LSU would be a strong favorite for a BCS bowl bid.
I'd give us a 1-2% chance without Bama losing to State or Auburn. LSU will drop back down to 9th likely after this weekend with no major upsets. The giant boost in the computers Bama gave us will be taken away by La Tech. LSU then needs TCU, Cinci, and Georgia Tech (and probably USC) to all be upset in the next four weeks. I am ruling out any chance Boise loses. This might put LSU at #5 before conference championship games (Ohio State/Iowa might jump us). Here is where the very low 1-2% chance lies: Rankings: 1. Florida 2. Texas 3. Bama 4. Boise St. 5. LSU A Bama loss would have to drop them BELOW LSU to #5, moving LSU up to 4, giving them an automatic BCS berth. After writing all that out, I put it at a .5% chance. :lol: A Bama loss to Auburn, then Florida gives LSU the best chance.
