    This is a paraphrase really...

    "We know this game against Georgia is big because the winner will win the east and get to play in the championship game probably against Auburn"

    You realize all this LSU is a non factor plays better into our hands then not.

    Think about it. AUburn thinks they are back on their National Championship hunt. They have once again penciled a win against LSU. Everyone has written off LSU.
    Even though they are 3-2 with a loss to Ga Tech.
    Way I see it. This is all good news. LSU is much better as an underdog anyway. SO let Auburn and Tennessee and some in the media pencil in Auburn as west champions..

    This is all good news for us. It keeps our players out of the cloud, it puts bullseyes on the teams our boys play...

    I love to read this... It means LSU is under the radar...It obviously does not hurt recruiting. So all this helps.

    It's just wishful thinking on their part. The last team they would want to see in the SECCG is LSU.

    I am a huge UT fan, but this comment is just idiotic.

    C'mon, you played like crap against Marshall, the Cocks, and got your butts handed to you by Auburn. Why in the heck are you looking towards the SEC Championship game?

    UT will probably get rocked this weekend, struggle againts Bama, lay an egg against Miami, then probably be upset by Kentucky.

    I used to be a UT fan (after LSU, of course and when they played LSU I HATED UT), but when I moved here to east Tennessee, it was expected to turn in my purple and gold and buy all orange clothes. People gave me such a hard time about being an LSU fan that I finally said, "you know what...I hate UT...are you happy now?"

    The big orange...sheesh!

    Purple is the color of kings...orange grows on any ol' fruit tree...

    I personally wouldn't put too much stock in this because they just got beat by Auburn.

    And they won't go up against either LSU or Arkansas this year unless it happens in the SECCG...

    Tennessee probably figured that they could beat Auburn in the first place.

    But the real question is: How good is Tennessee in the first place?
    This weekend should tell it like it is!

    Tennessee won't have to worry about playing LSU or Auburn or anyone else in the championship game for that matter. Fat boy can't coach and Clausen will get his ass destroyed this weekend. Unless UGA gets upset by Florida or Kentucky, the only way Tennessee gets to Atlanta is by way of the Peach Bowl They have a good chance to run their conference schedule after this, I think they have Bama, MSU, Vandy, and Kentucky. If Croyle comes back in time for Bama, I wouldn't guarantee that they will win that one.

    TexasTiger, Auburn is not talking ANYTHING NC...quit kidding yourself.

    Give the UT guy a break, Auburn is the best team he's played so far. They couldn't even stop us when they had 12 men on the field in two consecutive plays...very understandable.
