What did Booger McFarland say about LSU's playoff chances and the November 7th games?

Booger McFarland says LSU, at 6-2 after beating Auburn, is in the playoff if it goes 3-1 or 4-0 down the stretch against Alabama, Texas, Tennessee and Arkansas. He calls November 7th, with Georgia at Ole Miss and Alabama against LSU, a day that could be one of the biggest in recent college football memory. He still rates Georgia the best team in the SEC despite a fluky loss to Auburn.

• McFarland says LSU lost its two games on the last play, to Kentucky and Ole Miss.
• He thinks a Texas game in Baton Rouge with Arch Manning has the makings of an all-timer.
• He would start Tramell Jones for Florida against Georgia and expects a fourth-quarter game.
