Do you agree with Babb?

I believe playing LSU and Texas A&M close and having an opportunity to pull out a win would be great. However, winning the rest of our non-conference games and winning the conference outright and heading to the N.O. Bowl will show we are heading in the right direction.

I'd rather win the Sun Belt and see the Cajuns play in the New Orleans Bowl than beating either LSU or A&M. Winning the conference title does more for our program than just a one time victory over LSU or A&M.

i think the best case scenario is keeping it close for lsu and a@m. (i think its reasonable for us to upset a@m) in the grand scheme of things its far more important for us to dominate the conference and win a bowl game. you might think i'm crazy, but winning the houston game is more important than the first two. because first of all we vie for the same recruits and its more conceivable and beneficial for us to compete and win games CONSISTENTLY against mid-majors from conferences a step up from the sun-belt. jmho.

If I had the following choice:

a) 10-2 season with wins over LSU and Texas A&M, but a loss to Houston and to Troy and losing out to Troy in tie breaker for New Orleans Bowl; or

b) a 10-2 season with only losses to LSU and Texas A&M,

Uhh....that is an easy answer. I would chose A in heartbeat. If that were the case, the Cajuns would not be sitting at home in December and they would be playing in bowl that is more than likely better than the NO bowl....especially if the those schools were in the mix for their own conference titles.


With that said, the focus of the Cajuns right now is to win the conference. They need to walk before they can run. They arent exactly at a point right now where the conference championship is a mere afterthought.
