National Signing Day 2012 is just over one month away.

With 11 of the top 20 players in the 2012 Athlon Consensus 100 — and exactly one-third of the entire list — still left uncommitted, the furious finish to the 2012 recruiting cycle could be one of the more memorable in history.

Win or lose on Saturday, LSU should already have a spot clinched in the national title game. So what’s there to play for? Only the coveted SEC title. Despite what the Tigers have to look forward to on Jan. 9, don’t expect any letdown on Saturday afternoon.

The BCS Championship Game is looking more and more like it will be a rematch between SEC West foes LSU and Alabama.
