    So in theory we should have lost in Bama, then we would get an extra week NOT win our Conference OR division championship and still have a chance to win the National Championship.

    Hmmm. Doesnt seem to make much sense though.

    Just think IF Bama does win the NC. Which is very possible.

    You can fly a NC flag but not a west or SEC Championship.

    Seems really odd. I have a serious issue with anyone winning a MNC but cannot even win their own division or conference.

    Bama I think really is the #2 team in the nation for the record. I have always said these teams play 10 times each team wins 5

    NC Flag > SEC Champ Flag. No comparison.




    Back when I did watch NFL I was a huge Bronco/Elway fan. Remember them winning Super Bowl as a wild card?

    The Broncos were the third team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl but not win the Division Title.

    I'm now convinced, crunching all the numbers, that LSU is in a "win one of the next 2 games" scenario to get to the BCS CG.

    LSU could lose to either Arkansas (close) or Georgia and would be no worse than #1 in the BCS.

    The big game to watch is Clemson beating South Carolina, which I think will happen. This is Arkansas's 2nd big win, just like Oregon is our 2nd best win. We need South Carolina to plummet.

    Then maybe we can forfeit one and stay home like Bama. Or start kneeling on it from the opening kickoff.

    You can only start kneeling at the 5 minute mark of the 4th quarter.

    Obviously you haven't been paying attention.

    Okie state will gain alot of points on Bama if they beat oklahoma . The computers already love them , they would be the Big 12 champs and the computers love the Big 12 , Bama can't get no points after the Auburn game . It will be LSU - Okie state ae LSU - Va. Tech .

    Brad Edwards told Mike & Mike that if LSU & Alabama won this weekend it was 90% certain we would play them in BCSNCG no matter what happened after. He also felt 70% LSU stays above Ark if we lose Friday and still make BCSNCG.

    Brad Edwards overhyped Bama's position in his BCS predictions several times leading up to LSU/Bama, so I'd take his prognostications with somewhat of a grain of salt. It's also hard to accurately account for the biases and preferences of human voters, which will definitely be on display should Okie State win out.
