re: "The arrogance of the SEC is just, astounding"

How about this...
For LSU to have gone to the NC this year we would have had to have won all/nearly all of these games:
Georgia
Alabama
Florida x2
Auburn

FIVE games against teams ranked in the TOP TEN at one point in the season. Sure, some didn't belong there, but that was usually determined by losses to other SEC teams. Additionally, we would hae faced another top 10 while playing the national champ, and Ole Miss will be close to the top 10 by the last poll.

This isn't bragging on LSU, so don't remind me of how we fared against these teams (although only UF really owned us); rather this is just the kind of schedule we in the SEC face more or less annually.

Show me another conference where NC = 6 games against top 10 opponents.

ETA: I forgot to mention 5 of those 6 would have been ranked #1 at some point.

Not following your point, but if only final polls count, then....

WE'RE STILL NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year, yes. This year it's yet to be released. At that point we'll see just how strong the teams we played were.

Here, get this. In looking at how strong our schedule was last year, consider this. (Keep in mind this includes the NC game but it works for your argument LAST year).

2007-2008 Record vs. Teams
Team Finishing in AP Top 15
LSU 5-0
Georgia 2-1
Southern Cal 0-0
Ohio State 0-1
West Virginia 1-0
Kansas 1-1
Missouri 1-2
Oklahoma 1-1

LSU played OSU to a draw a few years back on their home field and doesn't have the guts to play on the West Coast. They don't. They don't have the guts to come out West and play someone in the non-conference.

Actually we won that game as there is no "draw" or "tie" in CFB since the mid 90s


I guess he likes to ignore the fact LSU recently went out to BOTH Arizona (2003) and Arizona State (2005) to play games...also are traveling to Washington (2009).

The SEC non-conference schedule is a joke

It USED to be but this is getting old. It's not anymore. It's not any worse than the other major conferences except the P10 and ACC who have to schedule tough OOC because no one respects them much to begin with. LSU's sucked this year but that's an exception. We played Va Tech last year.

DUde lost all credibility when he made dumb arse coment about the rebel flag. Typical left wing cock sucking liberal calling anyone who doesn't see it his way arrogant.
