They aren't good reasons because you don't like them. Now what were you saying about margins of victory for the hundredth time?

They aren't good reasons b/c they're stupid. The computers will have LSU at #1 even if you beat us 50-0. The votes will all get split - Bama will get the most - the computers will be enough to keep LSU ahead of Arkansas.
I don't care about your game against 5-6 A&M, or your 8 game winning streak. No one does.

#2 about playing both big games on the road is the only one i give some credit to.

1. Longest winning streak capped off by #3 winning @ #1.
2. Arkansas had to play both LSU and Bama on the road. Only Arkansas didn't lose a home game, and Bama would not have won one on the road whereas Arkansas would have.
3. Only Arkansas had to play one of the two ranked teams from the East.
.... Yeah, these reasons are STOOOPID!!1 DDEERP!

We will probably never know how things will play if Arky beats LSU. But if Arkansas can pull the upset, then I think there's a better chance LSU gets left our of the top 2 than Arkansas, although I believe Arkansas and LSU would be the two most deserving of being in the top 2.

You argument..while I believe flawed, is only an argument of where Arkansas will be ranked in the human polls. Most people who know, feel that Arkansas would not gain enough in the computer polls to pass LSU in the BCS...sorry.
Of course all this is mute, since LSU will be more than up to the task of beating the Razorbacks and punching our ticket to the SECCG and in reality, the BCSCG

Alabama looks like a better team than Arkansas

In some twisted way.. the one good thing that would come from losing to Arkansas or Georgia; it would take away any injustice I feel about having to beat Bama twice for a NC. :

I swear to god,..... I'd bet my best bluetick hound pup that LSU shuts up all you bacon lovers come the weekend! 
................. It's insane,.... its bad enough that LSU is going to have to play a team that did not even win their conference (ship) as the young'uns call it,...... but LSU has to play, and beat the same (Alabama) team they already beat! And do it this time for the (SHIP)............... What pray tell does the rest of the cottin pik'n world want from em?????????????????????????????? Tell me that bacon nation!

If LSU wins the Boot, they win the West. If LSU beats UGA, then LSU will be SEC as well as national champions in my book.

I bet that is one cute pup. My lady and I are hound people as well. By that I mean we own hound dogs, we are not hound/human hybrids.

Sorry if you already saw this (it's been a crazy hectic day at work for me)....But Brad Edwards finally conceded that LSU is indeed going to win the tiebreaker if Arkansas beats LSU...
BCS Minute: What if Arkansas defeats LSU?
Edwards was all over the place on this topic last night, but it appears he finally sat down at checked out the computers today.

There are a lot of BCS super geniuses that say LSU will be #3 if they lose. Edwards is just one guy and he even 'conceded' that there's a chance LSU would be #3.

I actually think Jon Ham makes some good arguments, but when push comes to shove the computers (and the math) make it impossible for LSU to fall out of the Top2.

Link? You certainly might have some people saying LSU will be at 3 in the human polls if they lose. Lsu likely will be at 3 in the human polls. But it's impossible for LSU to be at 3 in the BCS.

Edwards made the comment that he couldn't see Bama falling one spot after beating Auburn. Arkansas fell one spot after beating 10th ranked USC by 16 points.
(I replied to you with this comment in another thread, you can ignore that one).

But watch ESPN they are giving you a shot. Which is proof positive you will get arse-hammered.
