I guess this thread getting hard over winning your conference doesn’t matter if we’re talking Bama and LSU. It just means more.

I’m a staunch believer that if you’re second in your division you’ve been eliminated from the discussion but that opinion isn’t popular around here.

It almost got me in a dust up with a broham Bama fan at the Aspen Belly Up in Jan 2012 during the rematch game.

This is actually what I meant to say too. Division winner, not necessarily conference winner. But I guess it’s all pretty similar.

Well the biggest (only?)examples of it have been Bama x2 who didn’t even play for the conference because they couldn’t even win the west lol

I was just getting more specific.

E: I guess Nebraska got in in 2001 and got loving massacred by Miami so that one counts too somehow.

Ed Orgeron actually being good now, especially where he is good, is one of my favorite college football things. As someone who doesn't really have to worry about their team competing for the SEC or whatever.

As an LSU fan, if (when) we lose to Bama on Saturday, we're out in my opinion. Seems like a lot of people don't think that way, and it makes less than zero sense to me.

ninja edit: just like Bama should have been out in 2011 and no I'm never going to get over it

Nobody can prove that Tulane wasn't the best team that year. Also nobody can prove that Tennessee wasn't the best. BCS was just a participation trophy.

it'll either be a great game, or Temple will absolutely blow USF's doors off. And I don't think that USF is the variable here. Mostly around Temple's QB play because he's crazy inconsistent but they don't have a very good running game this year.
