Coach Rab Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The Tigers host the Alabama Crimson Tide in their annual low scoring chess match. I won't dig too much into the details of the game, I will save that for the discussions to follow: Since Les Miles took over at LSU he has a only 2 seasons with less than 10 wins and 1 national championship. He holds a 2-2 record vs Saban since Saban joined Alabama. Saban has 1 national championship and has taken over the state of Alabama once again with the Tide. Why I think LSU wins: (1) I am a homer (2) LSU's defense is good enough to hold Bama to a manageable score (3) LSU's running game is picking up (4) IF LSU CAN PASS THE BALL for at least 150 yards they will keep Bama's defense honest enough to open up #3 for some points. (5) Saban and Miles play the same style of football, it is almost a coin flip on who will bust through. (6) This is the first game that Alabama will play that even comes close to matching their talent on both sides of the ball. (7) This is a rivalry game, anything can happen.

TyperWoods Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Edge to Alabama because they are more disciplined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLine06 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Edge to Alabama because they are more disciplined. Edge to Alabama because they have a better and more experienced QB, receivers and overall better coaching. The only reason this game could be close is because LSU was on a bye thus will have 2 weeks to prepare for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHawkfan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Bama does not turn the ball over. Ball security will be the key in this matchup. Bama by 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saban has 3 National Championships, 2 with Bama. Just thought I'd make that correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But LSU does lack the Dewayne Bowe among other tall long WRs they have had in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedCreek49 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Thiasa will be a very hard fought game. I do not know who will win of by how many but this will be a fight. LSU wants revenge and Alabama wants the Championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHCowbird Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I hope Bama wins. If LSU wins, it just further more increases the chances of an all SEC NC. If Bama wins, LSU is out! The only way you get an all SEC NC game is if Notre Dame loses. You know an undefeated Irish team is in. I think Bama takes it by three TD's. LSU is a shadow of the team they had last season and Bama is even better. Don't believe for a minute that Bama players haven't heard all the "they haven't played anybody" talk. They will be seeking validation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclejohn Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm pulling for LSU to win. I don't think 1 lose Bama or LSU jump into the NC game as long as 2 of the 3(ND,K State and Oregon) stay undefeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't put a one loss SEC team in over undefeated Kansas State, Notre Dame, and Oregon. I pray they are not that biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 The way LSU has played, IF they win this game I only expect them to jump to 4th in the rankings. The coaches poll will not favor this team or put faith in them unless they toss up 500 yards on this Bama Defense and completely dominate them. Then, even after that, they could go back to an earlier argument that Alabama has played an average to below average schedule at this point. If LSU wins, they need 2 other losses at the top to get in the NC game. I do see K State and Notre Dame both losing to open the way for LSU in the NC.

BayouBengal Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Wow, are you saying that the SEC gets no preferential treatment in the polls? I keep hearing about this SEC bias. But the BCS only has 3 parts. 1/3 computer.......its only biased if programmed to do so. 1/3 Coach's Poll........how many SEC coaches are part of this poll compared to the number of coaches from other conferences. I'd say that there are more from other conferences than from the SEC. And the Harris Poll. Is this some sort of conspiracy??? STOP THE BIAS!!!!!

Top 1 loss teams, LSU, Georgia, Florida. Top 2 loss team, South Carolina These teams lose and they don't drop in the rankings. Are you really going to tell me that the SEC has the best 1 loss team in the country, the 3 best 1 loss teams in the country, and the best 2 loss team in the country? It's a joke.

They drop, but; they just don't drop as far as others. I really believe that these three 1-loss teams that you mention could beat ANY of the other conferences best teams with the exception of Oregon & K-State (Although, it would be a pretty good matchup as well.) Remember in 2010, Oregon manhandled virtually everyone they played (Cal being the exception) and they couldn't get by Auburn for the title. There is much love for the SEC because of one thing....they are flat out better. (my opinion of course) IF there is any media bias, I believe it is more of a PAC 12 bias. USC has been the media darling for years & years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
