I actually agree with a gump for once. If you cant beat the best youre not a champion




Exactly Big Lake...I look forward to playing LSU every year cause I know it's going to be a dogfight. I use to look forward to playing Tennessee just as much but now i get no thrill out of beating them. Man up and have the heart of a Champion. I was sick when LSU beat us last year because I was sure our NC hopes were gone. If we didn't get in, it was our own damn fault for missing the fieldgoals. Fate was on our side and we got lucky...it doesn't always work out that way.

That's bull - many teams have won the NC without playing the "best", whatever that means. Unless there is a true 16 team playoff system, we will rarely know for sure who the best team is.

Yes, it would have. Bama would not have been in the NC game, and LSU would have won the NC after crushing Okie State.

In a nutshell, this is the reason for all of the LSU angst regarding Bama.

You guys wanted the easy road to the NC instead of what you got. A whole fanbase of Mack Browns.

Bama didn't deserve to be in the NC game. LSU should not have had to beat them twice in the same year. Simple as that.

Not the easy way, which wasn't my point at all. Had PSU beat Bama OOC, then LSU's win would of buried Bama and made that regular season game more important for LSU, which is the only side I look at things from. Not easy to beat a great team twice, it's not like Bama could do it last year either.


Point taken...i just don't think I can bare the Big 10 and Big 12 pundits praising Michigan saying "We told you the SEC wasn't all that." I take some pride in saying we play in the strongest
conference and I plan on keeping it that way.

Yeah I would have liked to play okie state but thats not what happened. Even though I was incredibly pissed off and crushed when we lost, I didnt play the what if game we lost thats it.

LSU fans like myself cannot complain about how a team gets into the National Championship we have been more fortunate than anyone to get in

How is what LSU did last year the easy road? Had LSU played OSU in the title game and won, would they have ducked Bama? Or would LSU have still beat Bama in Tuscaloosa? Would they have still beaten 8 ranked teams at the time they played them. Would they still have beaten two other teams that were ranked #3 at the time of playing?

Not to be an a-hole but 21-0 says we should have been there. #1 vs #2 is what it should be regardless.

Agree. Which is the basis of my point. If Michigan beats Bama and then LSU beats them in November, we don't have to worrying about Bama coming back to whip our arse, lol.

And thus, why I don't always pull for the SEC in OOC games.

ISU upsetting Okie State is the ONLY reason you got there.

Actually, it's not the way the system is currently set up. It's set up to reward the two most deserving teams based on their body of work, not necessarily the two best teams. Based on body of work, Bama did not deserve to be in the NC game.

I really don't care how we got there. And you shouldn't either. If you beat whoever is in front of you whether its Bama, OK State, or Stanford you accomplish your goal. Why the hell do you care who you played? You made it to the National Championship. The whining makes you look scared of Bama.

Ohhh...I don't know.

Maybe the plethora of LSU posts since January about a preference in playing Okie Lite instead of us?
