The easy answer is 'yes', because they made the BCS. However, the 2 losses to Arkansas and Kentucky were pretty ugly and they may have been passed over by other 2-loss teams.

What's your opinion?

So a bunch of coaches/SIDs and football legends put them in and your question is whether a smaller subset of that type of group would have done the same thing in a hypothetical world? If anything, LSU would be more likely to make it if you had more spots. Dumb premise for a dumb thread.

check and see how many teams had fewer than 2 losses going into bowl season and you'll get your answer to this

I'll help you:
Ohio State, Hawaii, and Kansas

Obvious answer is yes, but Penn State didn't make it this year and the argument against was they had 2 losses to tOSU s 1 loss.

Dumb thread is dumb, LSU made the NC Game in a 2 team race how the hell would they not have made a 4 team playoff?

Depends on how many no or one loss teams there are.

Heading into CCG weekend, the BCS looked like this:

1- Mizz
2- WVU
3- OSU
4- UGA
5- Kansas
6- VT
7- LSU
8- USC
9- OU
10- UF

Missouri and WVU lost knocking 1 and 2 out. LSU still would have made it just on the back of winning the SEC, IMO.

A final 4 of OSU, LSU, UGA, and USC would have been must see TV.

This is a great troll thread.

But it is true that a million things had to happen for lsu to make it to the bcscg

And usc was cheating at the time, fwiw

But if not lswho, then who?

It is my sincere wish that this thread allows you to overcome your angst regarding the Clemson loss.

Stupid question is stupid. Please name the four teams that year with a better resume.

They weren't "ugly", they were very competitive, exciting, overtime losses.

Sorry you don't like football.

That year, yes. There were no P5 Undefeated teams. I take issue about the ugly loss though. Both were in overtime and as it applies to Kentucky, I believe that Kentucky was a Top 10 team that year with really good receivers like Dicky Lyons, Jr.

The loss to Arky was ugly. Arky was a .500 team and the game was at Tiger Stadium
