VT dropped a TD pass on 4th and goal inside the 3 when it was 9-0 Auburn in the third quarter. That could have drastically altered that game.

It's the same situation as the Bama/Utah bowl game.
It's a win/win situation for the higher ranked teams in this scenario, huh?

Get your teeth kicked in, against a top 25 team and just claim that you didn't care about the game.

Win and you just did what was expected.

Such a great cop-out when you get embarrassed in your last game of the season.

USC beat VT by double digits in Maryland.
AU beat VT by 3 in NOLA.
They don't like facts though.

We were talking about Cal. Just because you wanted to veer off onto the Auburn/USC argument that's been discussed ad-nausea, doesn't mean I wanted to.

I actually think you're retarded.

Why is it so hard for you to stay on topic instead of trying to deflect this onto something not being discussed?

ETA: UGA was favored. Nice analogy, retard.

With 4 first round NFL draft picks, 3 in the Top 10. Auburn 2004 was friggin stacked. Bammer 2011 lost a home game, so I don't know why a gump would start such a stupid thread.

why is everyone acting LSU offense was so terrible because Jefferson was terrible? They ran the ball at will, scored 35+ points in all games except two(19@MSU on Thursday night, BCSNG), 40+ in 10 games.

Defense gave up 11.3 points, 261 y/g
Offense 35.7 points, 355 y/g

Ran through the toughest regular season in CFB history with relative ease.

Final rankings

Won @#1 Bama 9-6
Won in dallas #4 Oregon 40-27(oregon scored with 13 seconds left)
Won vs #5 Arkansas 41-17
Won in SECCG vs #19 Georgia 42-10
Won @#17 West Virginia 47-21

beat NC winner, PAC 12 champ/Rose Bowl winner, Big East champ/Orange Bowl winner, SEC East champion

beat 8 regular season ranked teams

I think they could beat any college football, along with 11 Bama, except for 01 Miami.

1. 01 Miami
2. 11 Bama
3. 11 LSU
4. 95 Nebraska
5. 08 Florida
6. 04 USC
7. 05 Texas
8. 08 USC

Bama wins. 2011 was one of the all time teams in the history of college football.

2011 lsu averaged 350 yards of offense per game. That's well below all the other teams mentioned, even bama's teams averaged about 430 yards of offense per game.
Lsu 2011 had by far the worst qb play of any team mentioned here, that's not disputable. That lsu team isn't beating any of the usc, Texas, miami's etc. auburn 04 would have beat lsu as well.

11 LSU could beat 01 Miami. 01 Miami was far from unbeatable. Doesn't take an all-time great team to beat them.

Who cares if its below average? If they're scoring points like that they don't need an ultra high ypg average

That LSU defense would overwhelm Leinhart, and their D line alone had the speed to run down RBs, so Reggie Bush is not going to look like an all American against that defense. I watched their DE Mingo run down Lamichael James from behind. They would expose Matt Leinhart and pick him off 3 times. That 2011 LSU defense is far and away better than any defense Leinhart faced at USC

Also, that LSU defense had the speed to contain QBs like VY. VY would have to win the game with his arm and I just don't see it. VY isn't going to run wild on LSUs defense like he did against USC. With that, LSU would probably force quite a few turnovers. So, LSU could beat a team like 05 Texas.

No. Their OFFENSE averaged 31 ppg. Just because you wanna throw in punt returns and the like doesn't mean the offense put those points on the board.

I loved watching that 08 SC team, but Bama would win because of that D.
