Let me put it like this, and this is only my opinion.  If we beat LSU, we have about a 75-90% chance of going to Atlanta.  If we lose to LSU, we have about a 0% chance of going to Atlanta.  As Coach Saban has said, the most important game is the next one.  If an angel from Heaven came down and gave me the choice of a win over LSU, or a win over the Barn, I wouldn't hesitate to say LSU, because that gives us the best chance to get to Atlanta, which is the ultimate goal (other than a National Championship which is probably out of reach this season).  Obviously, if beating them both were an option, I would chose that first.  We are in as good a position to control our own destiny as we are ever going to be.  Making that destiny include a trip to Atlanta begins next Saturday.
