re: SEC has had problems with PAC 10 teams

Yes. But in every case the Tigers were playing teams that finshed with poorer PAC 10 records than LSU's record in the SEC. They played two games against teams that finished with winning records in the PAC 10 (Oregon State and Arizona State each finished at 5-3). LSU finished 6-2 and 7-1 during the SEC regular seasons those years (7-2 after losing the SEC championship game after one of them). Both games were very competetive and could've gone either way. There was no suggestion of substantial LSU superiority; particularly in the Oregon State game that was won because Oregon State's placekicker couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
