LSU traveled to Alabama this weekend in the big #1 v. #2 showdown. LSU won 9-6 in OT. It was a yawner of a game, with only field goals scored - no touchdowns. Points to great defense I guess, but it could be that the QBs and offenses aren't that good? Tough to compare until we play them in the National Championship! :)
Alabama is still ahead of us in the BCS, despite the loss. Most pundits say that it's only because our strength of schedule is still a little weak. This should change in the next couple weeks after we play Oregon, Cal, and Notre Dame. So in theory if we beat Oregon this Saturday, we'd shoot ahead of Alabama.
Still need Oklahoma St. to lose, since most say that they're strength of schedule will keep them ahead of us in the computers if they (and we) win out.
