    The popular concensus around here is that we want BG to win. However, the TV heads just said that a Miami win would hurt USC because they could be higher than USC in some computer polls?

    Who do we need to win and why?

    Here is what Bowling Green winning does for LSU:

    1) LSU would only need the Syracuse win or the Boise State win
    2) Miami OH is removed from the possibility of finishing 10th ahead of Georgia, which would have knocked out the -.10 QW for LSU
    3) Would give Ohio State a boost in their SOS from 7th place up to 4th place....may keep Ohio State ahead of USC in Massey poll

    Here is what Miami OH winning does for LSU:

    1) LSU would need Syracuse to win
    2) Miami OH has a slight (very slight) chance of passing USC in 2 computer polls, knocking USC down to 4th in those polls
    3) Miami OH could end up 10th in the BCS should LSU destroy Georgia in the SEC CG

    I think that Bowling Green is the obvious choice.
