With five minutes left on Saturday LSU had a 52-3 lead and the ball on the Ole Miss 1-yard line. Instead of running the ball, Les Miles had the Tigers line up in victory formation and take four consecutive knees. Now, there is one question on the minds of all Tigers fans: Was the Mad Hatter wrong to call off the dogs? We've posed this question to Bleacher Report's LSU experts, and here's what they had ...

The Battle for the Golden Boot continues to be an intense rivalry. The stakes are high for Saturday’s contest between the No. 1 LSU Tigers and No. 6 Arkansas Razorbacks, as the SEC West crown is up for grabs, as well as the quest for a BCS national title. The last five times these two teams went head-to-head, the games was decided by eight points or less, and this year shouldn’t be any different. The ...

This is a no-brainer. I know they say it’s games like these where you have to throw the record out the window, but believe me, there is nothing about this game that feels like a Auburn win. Bama is the far superior team. Bama has the top ranked defense in college football. What does that mean? That means they are going to shut Auburn down unless Auburn has a playmaker that no one has identified yet. ...

At this point in the college football season, not only do teams need to win, but win big. This is the only way they can prove to voters that they deserve a better BCS ranking, especially when going up against inferior squads. Here are three teams that accomplished that feat in Week 12.   No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide Could we be looking at an Alabama vs. LSU rematch in the National Championship Game? It ...

The Michigan Wolverines haven’t beaten their most hated rival, the Ohio State Buckeyes, since 2004, but this is the year the seven-game losing streak comes to an end. The Buckeyes are off to their worst season since 2004, and enduring all the changes that took place this offseason hasn’t been easy. The offense has been very unpredictable, failing to deliver in the big moments of some games. With inexperienced players, the Buckeyes will find it ...

If two players are both in possession of the football simultaneously, the tie goes to the offensive player. USC can thank that rule for an early two-TD lead over mighty Oregon. Already up 7-0, Matt Barkley lofts a beautiful 13-yard fade pattern to star wideout Robert Woods. With Avery Patterson a step behind him, Woods wrestles the ball away from the Oregon defensive back just far enough to earn a key touchdown for USC. For ...

The Oregon Ducks showed their legitimacy as a contender last week with their 53-30 win over Stanford. The Ducks really have continued to impress after their opening-week letdown, scoring over 50 points four times and only failing to score 40 once since their loss to LSU.The Ducks may be looked down upon after twice being handled by top SEC talent on the national stage, but then again, who hasn't in the last decade? The Ducks are ...

This is a game of epic proportions for these two Pac-12 teams. USC has nothing to lose, and are playing for pride right now as the NCAA sanctions against them don't allow any postseason possibilities. Oregon is coming off a huge win at Stanford last week that vaulted them back into the National Championship picture. With second-ranked Oklahoma State's upset loss yesterday, the Ducks may be playing for a berth in the title game and ...
