2003-2007 LSU was much luckier than both of those teams. The amount of luck that they needed to get into the national championship games in 2003 and 2007 was staggering.


LSU won the SEC both seasons. Therefore, your statement is retarded.

Winning the SEC has nothing to do with the luck required. You still needed others to lose.

In two decades of the BCS LSU is the only two loss champion and entered the final week outside of the top 5. That is luck any way you slice it. Y'all lost to Kentucky in addition to losing your final regular season game

What does winning the SEC have to do with luck and playing in the national championship game? Auburn and Alabama never relied on weird quirks like the #1 team in both polls being left out of the national championship game due to one of the teams on their schedule losing to another team (Hawaii losing to Boise State) in the final week. Bama and Auburn also never had the good fortune of jumping ahead of FIVE teams in the BCS Standings in the last week of the season to sneak into the BCS National Championship Game. By comparison, Bama only had to jump one team after losing to LSU in 2011 and two teams in 2012 when they lost to A&M. 2013 Auburn also only had to worry about jumping one team. 2003-2007 LSU was infinitely luckier than Bama or Auburn during their title runs.
