Part of me wants my Ducks to play Alabama for the national title.

But, the other part of me wants to actually win it! Come on LSU!

I think the Ducks could beat anyone, honestly. That was not a horrible defense they just faced right there, and they destroyed them. And Alabama does not have a Matt Barkley or Marquise Lee/Robert Woods, so your defense should only allow like 40 points

I'd give us about a 50% chance of beating Alabama. ABout a 99% chance of beating Notre Dame. And 85% of beating K. State.

Holy crap Alabama just went 3 and out, LSU could win this.

It's looking like LSU is better than Bama. They might play for the title game??? Who knows how much this win over Bama will put them up, and Notre Dame struggled against Pitt so they should drop, and then Big 12 doesn't have a title game.

2nd and 16, uh oh.....

Well I guess that doesn't matter. They just EMBARASSED LSU on 2nd and 16 for like a 40 yard gain.

If LSU somehow wins the BCS should be interesting tomorrow. I think the Ducks would be 1st in the human polls but I dont know abotu the computers. I'd expect:

1. K State
2. Oregon
3. LSU
4. Notre Dame

What you should be saying is if Alabama somehow wins. LSU can actually move the ball. Alabama is getting hammered by LSU's defense.

Zach Mettenberger looking good. If their running game gets going, they can put this game away.

LOL Mettenberger is ripping Bama apart on 3rd down. He's like Matt Stafford against the Hawks.

4:18 left in the game and LSU converted another 3rd and 6 with a 3 point lead.....

And here's another fun fact, Zach Mettenberger is having a career day in attempts, yards, and completions against ALABAMA. Also, their RB has passed 100 yards at like 4.0 YPC. Not bad.

False start on LSU just saved them from their RB fumbling the ball away to Alabama. Wow.

Mettenberger is ON FIRE!!!!!!!! Over 300 yards! Looks freaking AMAZING! Throwing into amazingly small windows!

EDIT: Only 293, my bad. I think Mettenberger can get over 300 though.

Kicker on LSU sucks. Bad.

Prevent defense kills LSU.

Prevent kills every team that runs it. Not sure why anyone does it, as a hawks and duck fan I have had to watch my blood pressure rise for years during the final minutes of games.

Anyways, lets roll tide! Winning a NC against anyone would be great, but it would be best vs a SEC team.

Well Bama won. Hopefully the close win drops them, but it probably won't.

It was on the road against a (at the time) top 5 team. If anything, it solidifies their hold on #1. I would rank the top ten like this:

1: Alabama
2: Kansas State
3: Oregon
4: Notre Dame
5: Georgia
6: Florida State
7: Florida
8: Oregon State
9: LSU
10: Louisville

Why would a close win against a Top 5 team drop them in the polls?

because they've been destroying everyone so far. But yeah, no chance it drops them.

Well this was fun to read after the fact. ROLL TIDE! Have fun fighting it out for #2.

BTW - I think regardless of how the teams finish out, Oregon and Bama need to play in a bowl game. I think that would be the most fun.

I heard somebody on the radio a while back talk about how if all the undefeated teams win out, Oregon will end up #2 because their strength of schedule is going to improve while K-State and Notre Dame's is going to get worse. Here's hoping he's right.

Couldnt you be kicked out of the state of Georgia or something for rooting for Alabama?

Probably, but I moved already. One of the things I always hoped for was for UGA and Bama to play in the SEC Title Game while I was there. Looks like it may happen this year; just a little too late for me.

It will be interesting to see how Bama does against Texas A&M's spread offense this weekend, they're sort of like an Oregon Light.

By the way, just looked at K-State's game history for this season. They're offense puts up some good points too. Might be fun to watch them play Oregon. Also, somebody needs to beat Notre Dame to end that nightmare of a national title game possibility.

I think USC will blow out Notre Dame in a few weeks.

It needs to happen sooner. Notre Dame in the national title game is not a conversation America needs to be subjected to for a couple more weeks.
