    Who will you be pulling for? I'm undecided on who I'll be pulling for this game.

    If GA loses it will probably have a bigger impact on our strength of schedule BCS calculations, but either way we will lose some points on that calculation.

    I'd like to go against UF in Atlanta to set the record straight personally.

    Well of course I'd like to set the record straight for Florida too, but hey I'd also like to set the record straight on Georgia. No one thinks we earned that win so I would definately LOVE to show the world the first win was not a fluke by whipping their asses. Everyone thinks Georgia is still the big dog in the SEC, and just ignores LSU. They'll have a hard time ignoring if we can beat them a 2nd time. Of course we gotta get there first.

    Doesn't really matter the result. If UGA wins, they will likely make the SECCG. If they lose, all tiebreakers are moot and it goes to a vote of the ADs. Again, with UGA being perceived as the best team in the East, I would think they would be voted into the SECCG. Looks like UGA....unless they fall off the turnip truck.

    You dont get the chance often, so I would much rather avenge a regular season loss. Im pulling for UF.

    It's tough to beat a team twice in a season. I'd rather LSU face Florida in the SECCG.

    UGA wants payback against us, we want payback against UF.
    So Go Gators.

    I'd rather play Fla. It would be easy for our players to get over confident against Ga., and it would be easy to get up for the Gators.

    Let's not forget about Ala., Ole Miss, and Arky. Ala. is my concern, they have been scary close to beating some very good teams (remember Oklahoma game 1). They gave Tenn. all they could handle. I expect a very tough game, with LSU being possibly being seen in Ala. as their "season saver" if they win that one. Of course, we should have a revenge factor after last year.

    The Tigers stand to benefit more from a Florida victory. According to the BCS system a team gets "X" points for defeating a quality opponent. But, a team does not get points for defeating a quality opponent twice in the same season. (Obviously this only applies to teams with conf. championship games.) Therefore, the Tigers would need to beat either Florida or Tennessee in the SECCG to gain additional points for beating a "quality" opponent.
