Have to have: Alabama must beat LSU.
Nice to have: Arkansas over Ole Miss and/or Auburn over Texas A&M.

If Alabama beats LSU, State can win the West simply by taking care of business and having LSU lose one down the stretch to Arkansas, Ole Miss or Texas A&M.

If LSU beats Alabama, the scenario gets really complicated and involves LSU losing their last three and Vanderbilt beating Texas A&M. In fact, an LSU win over Alabama and an Ole Miss win over Arkansas would eliminate us.

The A&M-Auburn game really means nothing other than an Auburn win gives A&M a third loss and eliminated them from contention for the West. This would also allow for three chances to get that second LSU loss (should Bama beat them) instead of two.

Sorry, I take games one at a time and I am only concerned about MSU winning the next game.. which means LSU wins a hard-fought close game (preferably in 4 OT) that demoralizes Bammer since their SEC and national title hopes will be vaporized!

Worry about ATL later

Thanks for the breakdown. Gonna make me feel dirty pulling for Bama. (Of course, I'd feel dirty pulling for LSU as well.)

There is no later to worry about Atlanta.

We're taking it one game at a time and remember, as fans, we need to stay focused. There’s no " I " in FAN. We have finally hit our stride and are headed in the right direction. I can see we have great team chemistry and we play as a family.

For real tho'. We shouldn't even be watching these games. We should be practicing our "Go States" and our "Maroon and Whites" and our "Don't Stop Believings" for next week.**

The Alabama game is going to take our best

I've been pretty weak in message board posting this season. I'll probably need to work harder to ensure that we beat Alabama. These two extra days are going to be huge.

The only team I know I'm cheering for is Arkansas over OM. I want OM to lose one more time before they get to Starkville. If we lose next weekend or in Fayetteville and OM wins out, then OM gets to play for the west in Starkville while the best we can do (for division implications) is spoil their season.

Problem is, they get these two games at home. LSU likely beats them, but OM will almost certainly keep it close. They always play those ******** tough.

Yes that is probably the only way they would win in Starkville, think Auburn in Tuscaloosa 2010!!

Arkansas needs to do us this favor.. I'm afraid Ole Miss might take LSU at home since they are so one-dimensional, and they will surely be ready to play that one

The most likely outcome for us to make the championship game is predicated on ole miss beating LSU. SECW standings make strange bedfellows. We need to be AL fans and Ole miss fans until the egg bowl.
