h really? One wins their division and the SECCG, the other does neither and they are equally deserving?


So winning the division is a prerequisite? UGA's two losses looked much better than LSU's that year...and besides my only point was that 2007 was really the only year that a legit arguement existed when talking about teams backing into the big game. As I stated earlier, Bama lost at a good time in the season, they had time to build back up and the teams in front of them folded under the pressure.

They got steamrolled by three touchdowns by Tennessee. They also lost to 6-6 South Carolina at home. LSU lost two triple overtime games to Kentucky (ranked #17 at the time) and Arkansas (which beat South Carolina by double digits). Also, Georgia had nothing on their resume` even close to LSU's 48-7 thrashing of final BCS #3 Virginia Tech, or our boatload of wins over ranked teams. And that's not even to mention winning the championship of Georgia's conference by beating the team that won Georgia's division thanks to a three-touchdown beatdown of Georgia. With our second-string QB.

Anybody trying to argue Georgia deserved to be there over LSU in 2007 is just trolling. Give it up.

No but it damn sure is taken into account.

Shouldn't we look at the WINS before we compare losses? I mean what kind of arse backward logic are you trying to push here? If you're talking about who is the most DESERVING then the first and really only prerequisite is what did you accomplish, what did you WIN.

LSU beat something like 9 ranked teams in 2007. LSU won it's division, LSU won the SEC. LSU accomplished much more in the 2007 regular season than Georgia did. Period, end of story.
