I've got a couple thoughts:
Someone is probably going to win this game and I would bet a bit that it will be either LSU or Auburn.

That's just how I roll.
This is a tough one. I think I'm going to pass. Too hard to know just how good either team really is.

I met a true college football fan in the Austin airport yesterday morning.
The guy's a firefighter, and he said he was heading to the LSU-Auburn game; obviously he had just attended the tOSU-Texas game and was wearing Buckeye gear.
It was 4 a.m. and we just chatted for a few minutes, and I was dead tired and never mentioned BP. Anyway, if anybody reading this thread is that firefighter who's going to this game, please post something here as I'd like to know your BP handle.

I want to say Auburn because of the depleted lines at LSU. And they are at home.

Realizing that everyone here hates ESPN I read their Scouts edge article on this game. Predicted score "Tigers 23, Tigers 17"
Yeah thanks.

Auburn-LSU a grand stage in SEC
By Christa Turner

AUBURN, Ala. - Coaches like to downplay early-season games, but there's a certain trend that has emerged between Auburn and LSU in the last five years.
Since 2000, the winner of this game has gone on to represent the Western Division in the Southeastern Conference championship game five of the last six years.
Also, the home team has won the last six games in the series, perhaps a good sign for No. 3 Auburn, which hosts No. 6 LSU on Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The 3:30 p.m. game will be televised on CBS.
"I think this is going to determine the West because we have two very good ball clubs," Auburn cornerback Jonathan Wilhite said.
Here's the breakdown for Auburn: It beat LSU 34-17 in 2000 and played for the SEC title, losing to Florida. Auburn beat LSU 10-9 in 2004 and then beat Tennessee for the SEC title. Auburn beat LSU in 2002 and had a share of the West, but Arkansas played in the title game.
Here's LSU's breakdown: LSU beat Auburn 27-15 in 2001, then beat Tennessee in the title game. LSU beat Auburn 31-7 in 2003, then beat Georgia for the SEC championship. LSU beat Auburn 20-17 in overtime a year ago, then lost to Georgia in the championship.
"You look forward to playing an opponent in a game that really counts," LSU coach Les Miles said in his weekly press conference. "It's going to be a great test. As much as it is just one in the standings, it's a very big one. You want to play your best against your best opponents."
Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville waved away suggestions that this will be Auburn's biggest game this season despite the indications.
"One thing is sure - one will be chasing the other for the rest of the year," Tuberville said. "Whoever wins or whoever loses still has an excellent opportunity to be in this thing. You can't put all your eggs in one basket."
That's a good point since Auburn's schedule after LSU includes big games against Alabama, Georgia and Florida, as well as Arkansas. LSU has dates at Florida and Tennessee, as well as hosting Alabama and Arkansas.
"Whether you win it or not, you try to keep getting better because you have some awfully important games the next few months," Tuberville said.
In years past, the Auburn-LSU game has fallen in late October, placing a bigger emphasis on the timing of a win. They met in the third game in 2004 during Auburn's undefeated season.
"I like it being played early," Tuberville said. "I think it's good for our conference to have this game early."
All eyes will watch this contest between the two highest ranked teams in the SEC. Big-time matchups the first two weeks of the season included Ohio State and Texas, and Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. This week, it's the SEC's turn.
For Auburn players, Saturday's game represents playing on the biggest of stages.
"It's always good when it sets the stage with all the hype," linebacker Karibi Dede said. "It's so much fun. It's just a big-game atmosphere. I think that any college player that dreams of playing in the SEC lives for these type games, ones where everybody in the nation will be watching. Right now, if people want to know what Auburn looks like, this is probably going to be the game they focus in on a lot."
