Bama REALLY needs to beat LSU to stay in the playoffs. If they lose to LSU, they won't have any quality wins, unless they beat Auburn at the end of the year. I don't think that will be enough. Bama will be playing for its playoff life. LSU better be ready.
I disagree. A 3-pt OT loss to an undefeated LSU will NOT keep Bama out. Even with a joke of a schedule. Go ask 2011.
In 2011, Bama beat #23 Penn State, #14 Arkansas, #12 Florida, and lost to #1 LSU 9-6 in OT. That schedule was much stronger.
Alumni, they have more reach and, well, they do look pretty damn good. I'm actually glad we aren't 1, it means nothing at this point.
