I assumed it after Pitt knocked off WV, and Mizzou lost to Oklahoma. Then I saw it on TD.com on Sunday.

You guys can thank me on us making it to the NC. I told my dad that Pitt was going to upset WV and there was no way OU was losing. I knew we were in. Actually found out from LSUmom right on here.

I too was in Hotlanta for the SEC champ game. My brother and I went to the Alum hotel (Marriott?) and watched the WV game and OU game. Watching that game in that hotel bar and the buzz going around was awesome. When Pitt won, the place exploded!!

We heard the official announcement on the radio after our plane landed in Dallas.

LoL...you really assimilated into Nor Cal. I crack up when people say hella.

Anyways....pretty much figured it out when Pitt won. I found out for good somewhere along the way back home from Georgia. Basically, once we found out LSU was #2 in the AP, it was done. Didn't need to watch the BCS show after to figure we were in.

I knew it was pretty much a done deal when I watched Pitt knock off WVU a couple of miles from the Georgia Dome!


That was all I needed to know. I broke out my Crown Royal and made a drink as the clock timed out. I knew there was no way in hell UGA or Va Tech would go ahead of us. OU was behind us as was USC (No championship game either)

After reading Matt's thread early Sunday at the hotel in Hotlanta, I felt certain we were in. It was confirmed as I sat on the plane waiting for the door to be closed when my cell phone rang and my son calling from Houston told me we were 2nd in the coaching poll. I knew we were in. Geaux Tigers!

I had been tracking what I called the likely and the unlikely all day (OU over Mizzou, and Pitt over WV). Once the OU score became final, and Pitt was still battling WV, it became as important as any LSU game. Once it was final and Pitt had defeated WV, I pretty much knew that we were in. The next day I woke up, checked LSUSports.net, saw the picture of the team jumping up, and that was it.

I also knew that we won the game right there, because I knew that somewhere out there, tOSU's coaching staff and players were NOT elated and excited as our players were, but, in fact were grumbling, "Oh, great. Another loaded SEC team waiting for a shot at our collective arse!"
