    Worst #1 team ever.

    LSU just lost to an unranked team. If you have been paying attention to th etop teams that have lost to unranked teams this year, we will be lucky to still be in the top ten.

    Horrible, horrible, horrible game...

    okaaaay.......

    The closest thing we can compare it to is tOSU losing to Illinois. It was played at tOSU and Illinois was a decent team but not ranked at the time (exact same scenario as LSU). They fell to #7 but everyone from #2 to #7 won that week. We have Kansas/Missouri a guaranteed loss, so that puts us at #6, if we fall in a similiar fashion.

    Whatever happens in the Kansas/Missouri game, we may need one team to beat the other handily (10-14 points). This will insure that LSU stays ahead of the loser. If its down to the wire, maybe the voters keep that team ahead of us (especially Kansas).

    I just can't make up my mind as to how the Big 12 shakeup should occur. Does an undefeated Kansas team (which would be ranked #1) losing to OU stay at #2 in the BCS over a 2 loss LSU? It's possible, I guess, especially if they play OU really tough.

    Therefore, I want Kansas to get beat handily (they WILL drop like a rock) and then Missouri to lose to OU. This would insure we end up ahead of any Big 12 team in the BCS rankings.

    Looks like you are trolling. In fact, it looks to me like the only reason you are here is to see how we are viewing CLM at the moment and see if that might make it easier for you to get him. Well check this out, bra, it's irrelevant how we feel about him. It's all about your school making an offer to him and then him deciding whether to go, buyout clause and all. Case closed. I don't suppose we will need to hear from you until your bowl game much farther down the road, will we?


    So, do you like what you see? (Again, trolling)

    As for a possible Sugar Bowl matchup between LSU and Hawaii, Gotta believe the folks at the Visitor's and Convention bureau (or whatever it is called) aren't too thrilled with this prospect. But if that is where WE go, then that is good.

    If you look around, I am not the one terribly distraught over the results of today's game. In fact, we are handling things quite well over here all things considered. It's clear why you are here. We don't need it, especially right now. Speaking of sun, you are right. It will rise tomorrow. In fact, we have a lot more sun than you do. Maybe the sun won't rise for you tomorrow. lol. Unlike you, our season isn't over yet. Anyway, it's past your bed time, so go back to sleep, dude.

    Thanks for the explanation islstl!

    It is a bit confusing but I think we really have a decent chance at this.

    So basically:

    - Root for UConn/Pitt to beat WVa
    - Mizzou/Kansas doesn't matter who wins, but root for Oklahoma to beat the winner
    - Root for Virginia to beat Virginia Tech or keep it close, and if not then whoever VTech plays against in the ACC Championship

    And then handle our business in the SECCG, hopefully against Georgia

    That's it basically right? ... Still seems like a long shot, but if you look at how crazy this year has been it's a very real possibility.
