re: What scenario would bring greater joy?

Sorry CB but you miss the point - after the OM game last year, EVERY game Bama played was an elimination game - they HAD to win them all - and they did - they took care of business - its a long season and things generally sort out - the pretenders can't take the pressure and the cream rises to the top - certainly you're not suggesting Bama didn't deserve their playoff spot.

So desperate to make it appear that both teams have an equal amount to lose in this game


We almost don't care. Sure it would be nice to win, but losing to a top 10 team on the road isn't a big deal for us and our goals for the season.


However, A&M has EVERYTHING TO LOSE in this game.

Both teams are undefeated. It is not a divisional game for either school so either can lose and still win out and go to the SECCG and probably the playoff. The only way this logic works is the East has a lot more suckage than the West so it is more likely that everyone else will have 2 or more conference losses there. That hasn't happened yet though so at this point both schools have about the same to lose.

For this week, TN and LSU fans seem to have aligned interests.

If y'all found a scenario that both TN & aTm lost that'd most likely bring me greater joy

A&M losing. Tenner has had enough close calls that they wouldn't melt that bad and aTm fully expects to win.
