Biggest Hogs game of my lifetime of 27 years. We have beat LSU 3 of the last 4 years under Petrino. He seems to have Miles' number.

LSU hasn't faced a high powered passing offense except for WVU who threw for 350+ yards and burned them. Arkansas is playing their best ball right now and on top of that we lost our freshman TE Sunday morning to unknown causes. A lot of emotion and a lot riding on Friday's game will have the Hogs ready to go hard.

If we win, it's the NC game. I am uber excited.

WOOOO PIG SOOIE!

If Arkansas wins, they would still be behind LSU and Bama in the bcs I think... Don't get too excited.

Not according to BCS experts on ESPN radio.

If Arkansas wins...

1 Bama
2 Arkansas
3 LSU

Yeah, LSU will drop to 3rd and Bama 1st despite LSU beating Bama.

Arkansas can win and it won't change. $5 paypal bet.

You really can't justify anybody being at #1 if Arkansas beats LSU.

Bammer beat Arkansas
LSU beat Bammer
Arkansas beat LSU

That isn't how the polls work though. It's about when you lose. If Arkansas beats LSU and doesn't wind up in the national title game, there will be a ton of backlash. (same case could be made for LSU and Bammer) I've never wanted anything more in my life.

I don't think the BCS cares about the backlash, they probably think of it was a win if everyone is talking about them, good or bad.

It's about NOW, not earlier in the year.

Arkansas had more injured starters out vs Bama earlier in the year than ever in the Petrino era.
Oregon is a different team now for example.

Yankees I'll take that bet. It is as follows...

If Arkansas beats LSU regardless of outcomes of other games, Arkansas will earn a spot in the BCSNC game.

$5 Paypal bet.
Witnesses please? Bet's on.

Bama should have.

I'd rather not see Bama again, but I feel that's the only good NC game you would see.

You give LSU or Bama all that time to prepare for an opponent other than each other and it would be a massacre, you see it in Bowl games every year. Give a top tier SEC team time to prepare and it's going to get ugly quickly.

Almost any other year I would disagree with you, but this year the rest of college football other than Bama and LSU is just all fucked up.

Shit like Stanford beating USC, then Oregon beating Stanford, then USC beating Oregon just makes it so difficult to truly judge just how good these teams are.

Like I said, I think (for the last few years) you give a top tier SEC team a while to prepare then it will/could get ugly quickly.

But this year particularly, I think LSU/Bama are 1A and 1B then the rest of the country is in like the teens. LSU/Bama are the top 2 teams in the country and it isn't even close.

Which is scary, I don't know about Bama but LSU is VERY young. I mean we will actually have a passing attack with Mettenberger the next two years.

But the past few years it hasn't gotten ugly.

Auburn/Oregon was close.
Alabama/Texas can't really be judged because Colt McCoy went down, definitely would have been closer with him in there.
Florida/Oklahoma was fairly close.

Jarius Wright would make a great slot receiver at the next level.

3rd round guy imo.

I would love to see Arkansas win this game, just so the BCS becomes an even bigger mess this season.

Then you would have a Bama team that lost to LSU but beat Arkansas, an Arkansas team that beat LSU but lost Bama, and an LSU team that beat Bama but lost to Arkansas.
