For now, let's assume the rumors are true. Maybe it's all false and the Tigers aren't going to be invited to the Rose Bowl, but let's just act like what we've been reading is accurate.

LSU is headed to Pasadena.

The SEC is headed to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1946.

Nice.

College football fans deserve an LSU-Michigan or an LSU-USC battle. Without question, either of those two games would be the best BCS Bowl Game on paper, aside from the National Championship.

In LSU's 31-26 victory over Arkansas, these are some of the players who stood out.

LSU receiver Dwayne Bowe: He went up against stiff competition. Arkansas cornerback Chris Houston is a good player, but he was no match for Bowe (five catches, 68 yards). He ran the slant pattern to perfection and the wide receiver screen was one of LSU's most successful plays thanks to Bowe. It wasn't just his pass catching. Bowe's blocking ability was great early, helping set up a 29 yard touchdown in the first quarter.

The LSU Tigers were looking for respect. They got it.

The boys from Baton Rouge believed before this game that they were the best in the SEC. Even with today's win, fans in Gainesville will point out UF's victory over LSU in The Swamp as proof to the contrary. But the Tigers put on quite a performance in Little Rock this afternoon which will surely allow them to jump the Razorbacks in the polls.

Now picture this: If Florida loses to Florida State tomorrow or to Arkansas next week, LSU could easily become the highest ranked SEC team in country. That would mean it is possible for the best team in the conference, according to the rankings, to not have played in the conference championship game and perhaps not even go to a BCS Bowl Game. Although I would say LSU will probably get there after this win.

If any conference deserves an at-large bid to a BCS Bowl, it's the SEC. If any team in the SEC deserves it, it's LSU. Why? Four road games against top 10 teams, and a 2-2 record in those games.

We couldn't ask for a better game this week. I believe that when Arkansas hosts LSU Friday afternoon, we will be seeing the two best teams in the SEC. LSU strong safety Jesse Daniels says his team is the best in the conference. Now the Tigers have to prove it.

Are you ready for Saturday's marquee match up? Les Miles is.

That was the impression the LSU coach gave us on Monday during his media luncheon.

Miles and the LSU Tigers will spend this week preparing for the Florida Gators in the Swamp. It's the 9th ranked Tigers vs the 5th ranked Gators in what is remarkably the first time in series history (52 games) that both teams are ranked in the top 10 when playing each other.

The rain is coming down hard in Baton Rouge, and lightning has filled the skies, as play has been suspended with 10:31 to go in the 3rd quarter, and LSU up 35-3 on Mississippi State. Here in Louisiana though, when lighning occurs, it isn't a time to stop everything...it's just another excuse to keep the party rolling!
