I was about to say that I was embarrassed that an LSU fan would post this. Then I realized we were above Aggy, who pride themselves on pre-season awards because they have nothing else to feel pride for.

In B4 the B1G posters tell us about how overrated and rigged ESPN's algorithm is for the SEC

UK probably has no chance but still has better chance than LSU and TAMU

UK played UGA close @ UGA last season. Only team to get to the end zone that many times during the regular season I think. If they can upset UGA at home, they have the inside track to ATL.

TAMU and LSU would not only have to beat Bama to get to ATL, a 2nd SEC team could bite them and that would mean no ATL.

Why is Michigan being shilled every where all of a sudden?

UK lost 30-13 and had to fight and claw and use every TO they had to score that second TD in the final seconds of the game against our backups. Losing by 3 scores even after scoring a garbage time TD is not a close loss.

So based on this analysis, Notre Dame is 10-fold better-off without BK than LSU is with him.

Nice hire.

Tell Auburn they can not win, and they win. Nobody is giving Tigers a chance this year which means they have a chance.

Eh... UK chose to run out the clock on themselves and had to call a time out to get their last meaningless score to turn a 30-7 loss into a 30-13 loss. They played to lose by less rather than playing to win (they needed to score quickly to come back from a 23 point deficit with 11:30 to go... instead they ran one drive using all that clock and called timeouts to get the score closer.

The reality is that was kind of a loser move. Other teams were a similar distance behind UGA and tried to score quickly and failed... leading to larger margins of defeat. But they tried to win.

UT for example was down by 17 going into the 4th but kept trying to score quickly enough to come back. They had quick drives that ended on downs or a fumble and led to further UGA scores and lost by 24 because of it.
