2008
Florida- 9th in Total Defense, 4th in Scoring Defense

This is completely new and an uncharted pathway through the treacherous German lands.

Then LSU should not have any problems at all beating Auburn then...Every Auburn fan on this friggin board has accepted and admitted the fact that LSU has a superior overall defense...

This is just ONE game. Over the course of a season, I'll take a great defense over a great offense.

All of them also had good QBs except for Alabama and Ohio State.

While I take heart in those statistics, look up how many have won a BCS championship with passing offense in the lower 10 or so.

I'd also be interested in seeing the correlation between a top 25 offense and winning the BCS title.

How many offenses in the 100's have gone on to win?

I was thinking the same thing. Let's see how he spins this.

What was the ranking of the defenses these champions beat? I know in 2007 OSU supposedly had the #1 defense, but that didnt work for them did it?

We are 92nd in total offense and more importantly 70th in scoring offense

Originally, I had the wrong numbers listed for LSU in 03. Accidentally cited 02 Defensive numbers which were also very good. I'll take the blame for his false claim.

'07 OSU might have been the worst top 2 ranked BCS team I've ever seen. They were on par with last year's Cincinnati team.

So you could very well enter the worst 20 offenses by the end of the season.

FWIW I dont think theres a large contingent of LSU fans who expect to win the BCS....
