BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Bayou Classic is near lock for a de facto SWAC West championship game between Southern University and Grambling. But don't tell Jaguars coach Dawson Odums that.
As far as he's concerned Southern (7-3, 6-1 in the SWAC) will be locked in difficult game against Mississippi Valley State this week in Baton Rouge and that's all he and his team are focused on. Never mind that the Delta Devils (2-8, 1-7 in the SWAC) are the worst team in the league if you go by record.
It's easy to look ahead, though, as the Bayou Classic, set for Nov. 29 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, is shaping up as one of the most important in years.
If Southern knocks off Mississippi Valley this week, the Jaguars and Grambling (7-3, 7-0 in the SWAC) will play for the SWAC West title and a chance to compete in the SWAC Championship on Dec. 6 in Houston against SWAC East titlist Alcorn State.
