If they fall only to #2, Bama is then left out even though they destroyed Arkansas earlier this year. Also, if they fall only to #2, we'd be looking at an Arkansas/LSU rematch for the title.....unless Arkansas gets upset by Georgia in the conference title game. Then we'd get an LSU/Bama rematch.

Confused? You won't be after the next episode of.......Soap.

if arkansas beats lsu, they would need a bama loss to leapfrog to first. bama owns the west tiebreak should ark win friday, and would move to the sec championship vs georgia if they win out.

the easiest thing for lsu would be a win friday, obviously. ark needs a win and help.
bama needs a win and loss by lsu to get to ga.
i have a hard time seeing, if bama and lsu both win, bama staying at number 2 since other teams in the top ten still have a championship game to play. hard to justify a team winning their conference, playing an extra game, not moving ahead of the tide.
