Alabama Upsets LSU, takes lead in SEC West

Coach zeejaydee was left speechless. His #6 Alabama team had just defeated the #3 ranked LSU Tigers 12-7, in a very familiar looking SEC defensive slugfest. With the win, Alabama vaults to #3 in the latest BCS rankings and are in the driver's seat to win the SEC West, making this the first time Coach zeejaydee to appear in a conference title game.

"This is a huge win for this team," said Coach zeejaydee, soaked with Gatorade. "We gave up a ton of sacks, but our defense held tight all game. They were the difference."

Another key was that LSU Coach cjohnchavis was forced to call the game without his offensive coordinator, who was left stranded in a west Texas airport after his Delta flight was delayed 16 times before being cancelled.

"That was a huge misfortune," said cjohnchavis. "He has the only copy of the playbook, so we had to adjust on the fly. Our players executed well, but in the end it wasn't our offense and Alabama did just enough to win. Congratulations to them, but we'll be back."

The two coaches had to separate their teams after the game, after LSU Punter and native Australian Brad Wing questioned the manhood and age of Alabama senior RB Trent Richardson, who has seemingly been in school for the past 13 seasons. Wing attempted a leg sweep and karate kick before teammates and coaches intervened.

"That was really weird," said Coach zeejaydee, "but his leg flexibility was amazing."

Heading into week 12, RUTS teams occupy the top 9 spots in the BCS poll, and 10 of the top 14. Experts predict that, barring any big upsets, Florida State, USC, Alabama, and Oregon are the four teams who remain alive to appear in the BCS title game. Another team to watch out for is Baylor, who is 9-0 and the only other unbeaten team other than the Seminoles.
