The third new member of the SCS.com staff is Timothy. His column, Timo's Weekly Memo, will appear weekly. This inaugural edition takes a look at the LSU Tigers and their potential to make the 2003 Sugar Bowl in new Orleans. With just a couple weeks left in the regular season it is guaranteed Oklahoma will be playing for the National Title in the Nokia Sugar Bowl. So the question is who will they be playing? Right now it looks like two teams have the inside track, LSU and USC. USC by far is receiving the most national attention, partially I believe because of their rich heritage. Let me say this though, LSU is clearly the better team. LSU is not getting the national attention that they deserve. I mean all they have done this season is beat Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss, and Georgia. Not to mention they have beat everyone else in the SEC they have played with the exception of the slip up against Florida.
The only thing LSU has going against them is that they must play one extra game, which is the SEC Championship game. Since the BCS counts this game it is a disadvantage for LSU since it will be against Florida, Tennessee, or Georgia. So if LSU wins out I think it would be hard to keep them from playing in the Sugar Bowl…But then again, us humans have no control; it up to the computers, and that is a shame. NEWS & NOTES:
