And you have to admit Georgia fans and Richt did make asses out of themselves last year petitioning that you deserved to be in the NC game without even winning the East. That was over the top.

Admit what? That's a wornout lie on this board that no one has yet to back up. Richt said he thinks you should have to win your conference, but the rules didn't stipulate that. So how in the world you people consider that "whining" is laughable.

The only difference those caught breaks with other teams losing, unfortunately for Richt in 2002, there were 2 undefeated BCS teams so he didn't get a shot at the title.

Wow, there is another reasonable poster on here. I was giving up hope. Yes, anyone on here that says Richt sucks or is overrated, when UGA has the exact same record as LSU over the past 6 seasons clearly knows nothing about football to begin with.

LSU has been very fortunate during their two title runs that the cards fell in their favor. My Dawgs and '04 Auburn weren't as lucky.

I find it mind blowing that people don't (or won't) recognize how many circumstances beyond a coaches control go into winning a BCS title. In 04 Auburn started about were Ohio State did in 2002 and LSU did in 2003. Hell, if the BCS was around in 96, SOS would not have a NC. And we won't even get into last year
