Everyone thinks LSU will win, except of course Alabama. Take a look at any poll and it's about 70% picking LSU right now.

These Alabama players hear what's being said about them. They lost already at home, Oklahoma St. deserves to be in there over Bama, etc.

This will give Alabama even more reason to play big(and not that you need much bulletin board material for a BCS title game). Just look at Florida in 2006. No one gave them much of a chance, they were 7 point dogs and they won.

What will totally offset this will be if Trent Richardson wins the Heisman. Historically, the team playing with the Heisman winner loses. It's going to be interesting.

No. Most anti-BCS people hope LSU wins. As we get closer, the "experts" will be divided once again.

lots of truth here, but Richardson doesn't win the Heisman.

Well people are still saying LSU should've lossed on Nov. 5th, so it works both ways.

No way Bama will be a 7 point dog.

Any gump that tries to play the disrespect card is a damned idiot.

I hope you're wrong. Every LSU fan should be hoping he wins.

uhhhh, no. Bama and LSU players don't get motivated by what random fans across the nation say. wait until the "experts" start all picking Alabama to win. claiming they were the better team on Nov. 5th and still are. Nick Saban is a better coach. their defense is better. and then watch what happens when Vegas makes Bama a point or two favorite.

LSU players going to come out looking to rip someone's heart out.

They are America's team, right now. They are the only hope left, that can bring order to the system.

Okay Colin Cowherd.

Most of the experts will pick Alabama to win. So it works that way too.

I think playing for the NC is a lot of motivation for both Alabama AND LSU. This is a big stage... I don't think bulletin board material comes into play that much.

You want bulletin board material look no further than al.com and their player interviews following our win a month ago. Not one player acknowledged LSU was the better team, and not one gave credit to our defense. That is bulletin Board material.

LSU will remain a 2-3 point fav. Neither team needs anything to amp them up more than the glass f-ball.Should be last man standing Texas death match.
