An epic game in the regular season or an easy road to a NC shot?

I ask because it seems many Bama and LSU fans are jonesing for an undefeated matchup on Nov 5th. Why not hope for the biggest obstacle in your way to lose to help ensure your SECW title? Is it worth the risk of a NCG shot?

even if one loses, you would still need to beat them to avoid a tie where you lost the head to head.

"good teams don't worry about the schedule" - Sam Montgomery

Since I have to choose though....def an easy road to the NC, but that doesn't ensure you get a shot at the NC (Boise St.). But since we're in the SEC, easy road to NC does not compute.

eta - y'all are gonna get worked tomorrow

I've been pulling against Bama every game and hope all 22 starters fail a drug test or are arrested next week.

You remember the epic games... I'm an LSU fan, but also a college football fan. I like matchups like Bama v Penn St., LSU v. Oregon, AU v USCw, UTex v. OSU, etc. If I wanted an easy shot at undefeated I'd become a Boise St. fan. I know they don't have an "easy" road to an NC shot, but I love epic match ups...and that schedule is a snoozer. That's why the SEC is so great... awesome teams, awesome matchups.

So, if Bama and LSU meet undefeated, it makes that game so much more memorable and suspenseful. May turn out to be a blowout and not live up to the hype. But, it will be the talk of the nation and the suspense leading up to the game will be pretty high. Makes it fun.

IMHO

You watch football to be entertained right? I don't see anything too entertaining about watching a blowout every single week. The epic games are what make the season memorable.

epic games define the SEC and are the reason we are tops. seriously, how many games can a boise state fan really look forward to watching. sec fans miss weddings, hunting trips, funerals, etc to watch their team play; not counting spending a fortune to watch them.
