But LSU's schedule has been tougher and LSU is playing Arky on the road, which makes a huge difference if it's a close game. We both lost to Auburn on the road, but the margin of defeat was much larger for Arkansas. Also, we beat Alabama at home while you lost to them at home.

--LSU would be behind Arkansas in every poll, to include the BCS standings. No need to point out that doesn't force the Sugar's hand. I know that.


If Arkansas did win, the two schools will be relative close in BCS ranking.

--Arkansas would be ahead of LSU in the West


We both have the same record and neither is going to Atlanta.

quote:

--Arkansas does travel. We sent 40k in back to back years to watch beatdowns of a ho-hum A&M team, mid-season. Arkansas fans need hotels, LSU fans will not for the most part.


But we'll spend a great deal more in the bars.

You're 3 slots behind us in SOS, but that's splitting hairs when you consider that both are Top 10

With Arkansas being ahead of LSU

With the head to head not in LSU's favor

Don't worry. LSU has gotten the shaft in the bowls before. In 2005, LSU was sent to the Peach Bowl following an 11-2 season. Whatever happens, we'll all have to deal with it. lol:

LSU would be a safe selection. Florida brought NOBODY to the sugar bowl last year.

No one has ever said a 2 loss LSU is going to Sugar.
LSU has to win out to have any chance at BCS and if LSU wins out and Auburn loses they still might get left out.

Ark winning out still does not ensure Ark goes to BCS, I think Bama would go ahead of Ark if they win out.

Arky fans full of hope, haven't been to Sugar bowl since 1980 and searching for that second win in the bowl.
Gonna be a good game in Little Rock, but remember, arkansas is still arkansas.

ARKY, have you guys won a freaking bowl game this decade? Maybe they match you up against Big East Champs to see if it is humanly possible for you guys to beat somebody in a bowl game


For LSU fans sake, I am certainly glad you do not represent the IQ level as a fan base.

Your mother must have forgotten to give you your meds this morning.

Must make you feel good to know you have lost 2 of the last 3 then.

Since of course, Arkansas is still Arkansas.

Arkansas reminds me of ULL. Always crying, and wishing that they could be a top eschelon team. Start winning the big games and it might happen.

I think the Sugar bowl will take the highest ranked sec tam available at the time.

Under this scenario, Arkansas should and would go to the Sugar Bowl.

Excluding National Championship games, the Sugar is normally not thrilled about LSU coming. So many of the fans live close enough to commute the day of the game, the hotels and restaurants usually make out better with outside teams, assuming they travel well, that will make it a 3-4 day trip.

Same record, and Arky wins head to head, last regular season game of the year, Arky should go, period.

If you beat us and are ranked higher then they will take ya'll. Now we both could be screwed if the gamecocks beat Auburn. Which,depending on which South Carolina team shows up ,could happen.
