Seriously? I see just the opposite, all the pressure is on LSU and it has nothing to do with the AP or a split championship. I don't think our team cares one way or another about what the AP does, I know I don't. On the night we play, the BCS trophy is on the line, win it, even by a point, and everyone will recognize you as national champions, regardless of what the AP does. Most people feel LSU was a bit fortunate to win the first game, as they were certainly outplayed. It's just as easy to say the pressure is all on LSU to prove they're the better team and that the first game wasn't a fluke. LSU is #1, the pressure is squarely on them to prove they are.Bama just needs to not hurt themselves with "too many men on the field" penalties as was the case on Nov. 5th. Those penalties caused the ball to be placed out of the kickers range or out of make-able yardage to go for it. Show discipline, and we will have a win.
I feel we will have to win decisively also. I can see a possible split champion this year. if we only win by <=7 then I will predict the BCS going to Bama and the AP going to LSU resulting in dual champions. So the win has to be double digits for Bama to be unanimous. LSU will just have to win by 1 point to receive both trophies. The pressure is all on Bama.
I agree completely. Plus, somewhere in the back of their minds our histotorical dominance of this series has to be causing no small amount of angst. They know that this is exactly the kind of game that Alabama has built it's storied tradition upon......not so much them.Seriously?
