re: I suspect the LSU@Alabama game atmosphere will be eerily similar to our game vs. ND

Yes it’s a close battle but LSU is decidedly a better program over time considering how close their SEC championships and other victories are but LSU has proven capable of winning the big one multiple times while UGA has only pulled through once.

That's a good analysis, though UGA has more SEC championships, higher winning %. I put LSU at number 2 (I've said this on this site more than once before because of their better national success), but can understand an argument for UT or UGA. IMO, UGA does not get credit for their close calls, in fact, they are taunted. Just like LSU in '11. IMO, it was a great accomplishment for LSU to get there. 4 of LSU's defeats vs Bama in the current streak were close. 2 Bama had to make dramatic late game plays to win. Bama's will to win is often overlooked.
