If lsu wins then everyone will say bama didn't belong. That lsu already proved that bama can't beat them. That okie st shouldve played lsu. That bama back doored their way in and didn't deserve to be there. All this equals- Bama loses. If bama wins the game everyone will say that lsu and bama are tied 1-1. They will say that it's hard to beat a team twice and the series is even. That bama got a mulligan. That they used their political power and influence to back door themselves into the game that they shouldve never been in. Everyone outside of bama thinks okie st got screwed. Bama may have the crystal but the public relations backlash hurts them with voters , especially mid western voters, next year. Even though bama gets the crystal -they still lose the public relations game. So bama = losers anyway you look at it.
