The Downside of the Texas Win

I believe that a great deal of LSU fans have overlooked an important fact, while pulling for a Texas upset in the National Championship. A Texas win actually hurts LSU more than an USC win, because LSU recruits so heavily in nearby Texas. Now that Texas has its own crystal trophy, and a newer one at that, recuiting top players in this region is going to be much more difficult than it has been in the past, and that includes top players in our own state. When push comes to shove, over the coarse of the next few years, more players, especially in this region, are more likely to choose Texas over LSU.
