What difference does it make? You should have beaten them easily.
Shall we go over, AGAIN, the close calls LSU has had the past several years? It does not mean they (LSU) was bad. Simply that bad teams sometimes play good teams closely.

Very nice. Who do you see out there that it would be unthinkable for them to get beaten?

Unthinkable? no one (Louisville lost to UConn and Syracuse last year)
Least likely? Louisville
The most likely team to come out of each conference unbeaten:
ACC - Florida State (Clemson hasn't solved the "Clowney problem")
AAC - Louisville (DUH)
Big Ten - Northwestern (severe flaws with each team)
Big 12 - Oklahoma (although there are severe flaws with each team)
PAC 12 - Washington (If they can beat Oregon, they can run the table)
SEC - Alabama (until proven otherwise)

You obviously did not watch the Akron vs Michigan game over the weekend. I'm not saying Ohio State will for sure go undefeated AGAIN. I'm simply saying that, based on what I have seen thus far, Michigan will not beat Ohio State this year. Nor do I think Michigan COULD go undefeated haha! If anything, they COULD lose 4 games.
And please never try to compare an SEC team that won the National Championship in 2011 to the fricking Akron Zips. GTFO with that shite!

Better question...will any of their opponents crack the final top 25?

Michigan and Ohio State could play each other in back to back weeks if both go to the Big Ten Title Game.

Agreed. maybe we are misunderstanding each other. I am saying that more than likely there will not be TWO undefeated teams at the end of the year, going into the Natty. I THINK a 1 loss team will play for the National Championship.
I do NOT believe that Louisville will go even if they are undefeated, because of their schedule. A 1 loss SEC team will get the nod over Louisville. This is ONLY my belief.

Well you sure as hell better steal it this year. Once the playoff system is installed, it's all SEC allthe time.

You are correct. I did not. I am sure it was an embarrassment. However, Michigan and Ohio State, more than likely, will play each other twice on back to back weekends. LSU fans should realize how difficult it can be to beat a tough team twice.

All I was saying, was that in a year in which you had the best team in the country, you struggled with some teams you SHOULD have handled easily. It happens. Doesn't mean you were not good....just as the Akron game is not indicative of Michigan's team. And, Ohio State has not exactly looked invincible themselves.
Oh. And Auburn was awful last year. just AWFUL!
3-9, awful.

No possible way. they are NOT going to allow a match up of two SEC teams again. Don't misunderstand me....I think the two best teams should ALWAYS play for the Natty, no matter who they are, or what conference they are in. But the powers that be simply will not allow this.

I was in Ann Arbor this weekend, Michigan could not have had a bigger hangover. With that sai, I would be hard pressed to say that they will be undefeated when they play OSU.

They may not have a choice.

Understood. And I am not saying that michigan will go undefeated. I am saying that of the two, Michigan, in my opinion, has the better chance of being undefeated at the end fo the year. (Regular season) IF Michigan beats Ohio State in their last game, then I think Ohio St wins the conference championship...and vice versa. I just do not see anyone coming out of the B1G undefeated.

I shouldn't have been so definite, because ANYTHING is possible. I would be absolutely SHOCKED if they pit two SEC teams against each other for the Natty. I suspect they would rather slide down a 100 foot razor blade into a vat of rubbing alcohol, than allow this to happen twice.

It will be Bama, LSU or UGA vs Oregon or Stanford
But Louisville has the best shot(schedule wise) to go undefeated this year.

You bring up good points, but this is not one of them. Ohio State has owned Michigan this century. Michigan did not impress versus a worse Notre Dame team than last year. Akron was in the position to upset Michigan at the end of the game Saturday. Michigan sucks. The Big 10 sucks.

I don't think Alabama will lose any games.
