Our most meaningful November game since…

I have a nephew driving from Ottawa for this one. I warned him about the lake effect between Watertown and Syracuse on Friday. He said he didn’t care. He “needed “ to be here!
Tell him just follow the two tail lights n front of you, because you sure as hell can’t see where the side of the road is. I did that snow belt run a lot of times when I lived in Watertown. It’s not fun , but it usually only lasts 5 to 10 miles.

Dreading the drive and hoping the weather outlook is wrong. Watertown to Pulaski can be one of the worst stretches of winter driving as you know.
 
It wasn’t “our” stakes but our win over ND in “03 was part of an unlikely chain of events that vaulted LSU into the national title game and what turned into Saban’s first title. I remember getting high fives from lsu fans at the sec championship game in my syracuse jacket.
What is the connection between our 2003 game vs ND and LSU winning a natty? Forgive me if I’m missing something obvious.

It was a series of events (and I might be missing some!) that effectively lowered USC’s strength of schedule enough to vault LSU over them in the BcS. I know Oklahoma lost to Kansas state, Syracuse beat ND and Boise beat Hawaii in the middle of the night. That plus lsu beating uga in the sec title game put them over the top. I think there were more things, too
 
This year against VT. We still had a chance ACC championship birth during… with a chance to play in the playoff.
If we lose tomorrow we go to a meaningless bowl game. If we win tomorrow… well we play in a nonplayoff bowl game.

We did beat VT.
