It's a great thought there TenTex. But truth be told, Les Miles made up his mind that fateful Saturday morning before the SEC CG. LSU had a snowball's chance in hell of playing for the NC at that point, and hell Ohio State even needed help on that day to play for it all as well.

Les Miles' intentions was to stay on at LSU to hopefully win the SEC CG and then on to the Sugar Bowl.

God just looked down upon Les Miles and simply decided that he deserved to be playing Ohio State for the NC and deemed it so later that night.

It's much more simple and you're over-analyzing......his wife wanted to stay here- end of story- he had no say and/or no choice in the matter. :lol:

Spoken like a man who has truly figured out how to stay married!
