What would an LSU win over Alabama mean? Here are my preliminary projections (assuming all other teams listed win next weekend): 1. Florida 2. Texas 3. Iowa 4. LSU (not by much) 5. TCU/Cincinnati/Boise State/Oregon/Alabama (too close to call) Anybody who hasn't come to grips with this needs to now. LSU will beat Alabama next Saturday. Pecking order: 1. Undefeated SEC 2. Undefeated Big 12 3. Undefeated Big 10 (although it will be extremely close) 4. 1 Loss SEC 5. Undefeated Big East 6. 1 Loss Pac 10 7. Undefeated TCU 8. Undefeated Boise State
Oregon is gonna move to top 5 this week no doubt. They are killing the mighty trojans who all the pundits had pegged as the 1-loss team that was gonna make it to the BCSCG since they beat OSU and ND.
LSU will jump Oregon with a win over Alabama. Not sold on Oregon jumping that high. Oregon will be in all that mess between Boise State and LSU (#5-#9).
Yes, but not by much. They won't vault all the way to #5, that's for sure. They'll be higher in one poll vs the other (Coaches and Harris). It will be all convoluted.
That's no doubt. I still feel really really good that we pass them with a Bama win. So the Oregon win is good for LSU since a 1 loss USC had a better shot (but it still wasn't much) to stay ahead of LSU than Oregon will now.
That's when it matters the most. However, LSU is gonna need for two out of this three to make it to the top 2: Texas, Cincy and Iowa. Iowa has two easy home games and @ OSU. What an irony that we'll need to root for OSU.
I have an undefeated Cincy losing out to a 1 loss LSU/Florida/Bama. I am not completely sold on Iowa staying ahead of LSU in the end, but at this point I am calling that Iowa does indeed stay ahead by the slimmest of margins. This week's game did not help Iowa's chances.
