it just happened to be the only year since the 2009 season that we haven't won a national championship
In 2011...
The reward: National Championship
The task: Split two games against your toughest opponent
Who did it: Alabama and LSU
Who got the reward: Alabama
Why didn't the other get the reward: LSU was required to sweep two games, not split two games.
Both teams accomplished the same task, but LSU was held to a higher standard and had to do twice as much to get the reward.
In 2012...
The reward: SEC West title, path to the NC through the SECCG
The task: Split two games against your toughest division rivals
Who did it: Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M
Who got the reward: Alabama
Why didn't the others get the reward: LSU and Texas A&M, in addition to splitting against their top two division rivals, were also required to sweep a combined three games against two SEC East teams that went a combined 21-3 in the regular season, with one of the losses coming when they played each other and someone had to lose.
All three accomplished the same task, but A&M and LSU were held to a higher standard and had to do twice or three times as much to get the reward.
In 2013...
The reward: SEC West title, possible path to the NC through the SECCG
The task: Lose 1 game or less in the SEC
Who will do it:
Alabama if it splits two games against LSU and A&M
A&M if it splits two games against Alabama and LSU
LSU if it splits two games against Alabama and A&M AND sweeps two games against SEC East teams that went a combined 22-2 in the regular season last year, with one of the two losses coming when they played each other and someone had to lose.
So, guess who is being held to a higher standard again and has to do three times as much to get the reward. It gets old.

you know what I gather from all those "ifs" and stuff?
if you win, you get a chance to play for a NC or SEC CG.
I guess yall LSU fans have already conceded defeat to your schedule though, so why bitch about it.

If I could, I would change A&M's schedule to give LSU an easier ride. Switch Georgia with Arkansas on Sept. 28 and we'll play Georgia.
I would say let's also switch Vandy, but we don't want to play Furman and I suspect Vandy wants some exposure in Texas for recruiting purposes.

Oh man. What a pathetic, defeated, and emotionally insecure fan base. Let's not blame our coach for being horribly unprepared and inflexible. Let's blame Alabama and the BCS system. Oh, but for 2003 national title purposes, we love the BCS. There is no split title with USC. The BCS is what we all agreed to and the pussy LA media needs to get over it.
