Definitely bama. I don't think there's a question bama is the best team in the country. If they beat LSU they will likely go undefeated (I'm not shortselling UGA, it just is what it is). If bama loses, we will have our shot to beat LSU anyway which I definitely think we can.


Plus, we would jump bama with both teams having a loss because we would have beaten highly ranked UF and LSU, while their highest win would be either MSU or aTm. All dawg fans need to be pulling for LSU saturday.

Bama without a doubt. If we make it to the SEC, beating a #1 Bama juggarnaut(sp) looks waaaaaay better than beating a one-loss LSU team.

He said which team losing helps us more.

I understand what you're saying, but think about the odds of beating each team. I'd say it's 50/50 against us beating LSU..not so much for beating bama.

I was of the thought that beating Bama would help us jump other one loss teams but LSU would be around 3-4 if we played them and that would give us 2 quality wins over top 5 teams. We definitely have a better shot against LSU than Bama, obviously.

Id love a mett vs Murray SECCG





I agree I was thinking a Bama loss would help more as well, but I want Bama for revenge

We will need some help, hopefully USC can beat Oregon and nd. No idea about kstate.

Regardless though, if we win the seccg we'll be ahead of bama and lsu for certain, and we have a much better chance against lsu.

Ah yeah, missed that. But yeah I think are chances of beating Bama are pretty slim, but if we did.

I'd rather play LSU. I think we actually stand a shot in that game(Florida beat them and they beat AU by 2.)

A win over a #1 Bama would look better on a resume for a BCSNC game, but I don't think we jump in if there are still 2 undefeated of the 3 current contenders even with a Bama win. At this point, we should root for a Bama loss to LSU and hope the fighting Kiffins knock off ND and Oregon for us.

Only problem then would be them taking a 11-1 Bama team over us, but I don't even think the media bias could do that over a 12-1 SEC champion.

That said, a lot of things have to fall into place for this to even be a discussion, so I'm mainly just rooting for LSU because we match up a lot better against them than Bama.

With bamas schedule, it would be impossible for them to jump us if we both have 1 loss and we win the sec.

if LSU somehow beats Bama, even if we then beat LSU in the SECCG, we will not get the votes to play in the MNC game if 2 or all 3 ND, Kstate and Oregon go undefeated..

let's get to the SECCG and worry about shite from there..
