Oregon St. is at least on par with LSU if not better. So I guess it depends on your definition of shite teams.


Again, just because you say it does not make it so. They are not on par with LSU, please stop the madness.

And if we were I guess you're saying we'd kick your arse. Sweet.

Just please admit you can't handle your business then spend the rest of the season lobbying for how great you are and you're the best team blah blah

Madness? Not at all. The Sagarin predictor which is accepted as the best computer poll has Oregon St ranked far higher than LSU, 16 for Oregon St. 25 for the fifty-deuces. The Colley Matrix has Oregon St. over LSU, xiv a LSU poster here who does his own computer poll has Oregon St. over LSU. etc...

You see I have data to support my position while all you have is your little dick in your hand.

I'm trying to wipe your slobber off of it. Bottom line, SEC wins and USC bitches about what should have been.

That will remain constant. Come see me at the end of the year for the ORst v LSU computer ranking. Thanks for coming.

Alabama < USC
Florida > Oregon State
Georgia > Cal
LSU > Oregon
Ole Miss > Stanford
South Carolina < UCLA
Kentucky > Arizona State
Arkansas < Arizona
Auburn
Tennessee
Vanderbilt > Washington
Miss State > Washington State

I'd see it being 7-3 SEC...leaving out 2 decent teams having a bad year and giving more credit than you deserve

And you didn't hear AL crying they should be national champs.

Again, you will get left out for two reasons.

1. Your confernce is turrible
2. You can't handle the easy wins like Orst and Stanford.

If I'm a USC fan I'd be getting tired of it honestly. Please continue to tell everyone you're the best team and then go lose to Stanford.

i don't think the conf is that horrible. Again i don't recall USC claiming any nat. championship in the middle of the season. Again they don't cry baby like many of the sec fans.

Relying on computer rankings is not a good way to make your point. Remember when the computers left USC out of the NC game between Oklahoma and LSU? How did that make sense? It didn't. Non-AI computers can't think.

If you want to make a point, put your thinking cap on and try to use human logic.

And Oregon St. lost to Stanford, a much, much, much worse loss than any of LSU's.

And Oregon St. lost to a Mountain West team (Utah), another loss that is much, much worse than any of LSU's.

Oregon State has mediocre talent, and that was a huge black eye to Southern Cal that y'all lost to them. Deal with it.

Losing a "down to the wire game" at Utah, whom lsumatt has tagged as a BCSCG sleeper, is a much worse loss than any of LSU's?

I think the mudhole stomping at TS by Georgia pretty much trumps Oregon State losing to Utah.
Scoreboard says= Oregon State's loss to Utah was a "better" loss.

Oregon State's loss to Stanford was on the road, in the first game of the season. They probably should have won, but we've seen before that Stanford under Harbaugh will fight hard and overachieve (that won't help them this Saturday, lol). Scoreboard says = LSU's loss to Bama is a "better" loss though.

Oregon State's loss to PSU at PSU is totally understandable. PSU is still a top 10 BCS team, and although they got blown out, so did LSU at Florida. Scoreboard says = Even

Oregon State has above average to "very good" talent. The Beavs are honestly not on a par with LSU that way. But they are more efficient than LSU, and on a Thursday night in Corvallis they beat a top 10 BCS team. Something LSU has yet to do.

Do you guys ever get tired of all the pro-SEC bias in the polls? Over a third of your conference was overrated in the preaseason poll and now South Carolina who has beaten nobody is ranked. Makes no sense at all.
and LSU who has lost to everybody is still ranked. You may have a point.

I will grant USC does for the most part have an awesome team. But, it cannot be that hard to recruit there either.

1.) the girls
2.) the beach
3.) the girls
4.) did I mention you are in California, by the beach and the girls
5.) odds of meeting a celebrity
6.) sun and fun

try doing that to places like Texas Tech..

1.) cornfields
2.) nothing to do
3.) Dallas is only like 5 hours away
4.) we have horses out here, you like horses right?
5.) Wichita falls is only three hours away..you can go see the old cowboys training center.yeah!!

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but your defensive stats have been padded by playing two of the worst teams in college football this year. I mean Washington and Washington State are down right terrible.

Rose bowl vs Penn St. unless Oregon st. wins out then either the Fiesta vs Texas or The Sugar vs. Alabama.

Yeat they are terrible but Oregon has one of the top offenses in the country and CAL, and Oregon St are both good offensive teams.
