Michigan. If they beat Ohio St. and we win out then we get to go to the Sugar Bowl. Of course, winning out for us is not going to be easy. But, Michigan has to win this weekend for us to have a chance. Go Big Blue!!!!
I think we will probably need USC to lose another game to make it to #2... See this thread for other teams to root for: http://www.tigerforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8625
Collegefootballnews.com is saying that if we win out then we will move past USC. They still have to play UCLA and anything goes in that matchup. We have to win out and that will not be easy.
I just laid out the senerio how we possibly could move ahead of USC without them losing in this thread. http://www.tigerforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8642
How does the NYT poll have anything to do with the BCS? The radio show here has tried to call their office to see why they have Florida as 4 and LSU as 11 and they are transferred to the Home and Garden office of the newspaper. That's ridiculous!
The thing to keep in mind is that each team's computer "score" throws out the worst score for that team. So that #11 isn't factored into LSU's current BCS ranking. Of course, if it was more realistic, then maybe it would cause the currently second-worst LSU score to be thrown out.
