    1) Oregon winning helps our BCS numbers.

    2) Stanford winning helps the chances of us facing them on the BCSNCG. This would be great for us I believe.

    I think the only team that can beat us going forward is Alabama, and having to beat them twice would be an even more monumental task than beating them at Bryant-Denny.

    I am pulling for Stanford and Okie State from here on out.

    I really think Okie State is winning out. If it was meant to be for them to lose, I think they would have lost to KState and they hung on and won. OU no longer has the horses to keep up with Okie State.

    Stanford. I still hate Bama and don't want them to succeed at anything. I want them crushing Boise state so they have the nasty taste in their mouth that they never got to prove themselves against good competition. They can go to their graves thinking "Man that 11 team was sooo good but we wasted it, all because of LSU".

    Stanford. No one can pass us if we win out regardless. I'd rather play Stanford, Okie State, or Boise St., than a revenge motivated Alabama or Oregon. We have nothing to prove against Alabama or Oregon; we already beat them. I also would like to see us beat Oklahoma again. My dream game is an undefeated LSU against an undefeated Stanford or Boise State.

    1. We're #1 in the BCS. We don't need SOS help anymore unless we get upset.
    2. I don't want to give Harris poll voters any excuse for a Bama rematch, so I will be the biggest Stanford fan in the country on Saturday.

    The other thing to consider here is the potential of a loss to Arkansas.

    Do we drop behind both undefeated Stanford and Okie State? Certainly behind Okie State. Does the SEC not get represented if we have a 12-1 SEC champ like LSU?

    Stanford, no doubt. Like everyone is saying, I do not want a rematch with a pissed off Bama.

    My dream would be beating down an undefeated Stanford WITH a Heisman Trophy winner named Luck.

    Shades of Jason White?

    The thing about a rematch is it isn't really fair to the winner of the first game. For it to be fair it needs to be 2 out of 3. If Bama beat LSU it would be 1-1, but Bama would be NC. There needs to be a tiebreaker in such scenarios.

    Agreed Bama would be the toughest matchup for LSU. But I think we get much better play out of Lee and our receivers a second time around. Not to take anything away from Bama, but Lee just had "one of those days." Beating Bama when your starting QB is way off...wow.
