LSU people dont know about college football....come on, we are just defending our name and reputation..... U kep talking about our schedule, but the reason that LSU wont be ranked in the Top 5, maybe Top 10, is because of our schedule, not because of our defense....not because of our excess in offensive weapons, not even because of our starting QB is not Perrilloux.
And i do know about other conferences....the Pac-10 had 1 less guy drafted than the SEC....The Pac-10 is very good, especially at the offensive skilled positions....USC had 4 1st rounders this year...similar to LSUs 4 the year before.
The Big 12 is a very physical line play on both sides of the balll....they like to pound the ball except for afew up and coming programs like Mizzou and Kansas.
The ACC is a good mixture of diiferent styles....definitely a coaching conference due to the variety....try and compare Clemson to Miami to Virginia Tech to Maryland...one bad call or play and u lose...
And finally the Big 10...i mentioned them 5th because thats their strength...thank god Illinois might actually bring the Big 10 back to respectability (with the exception of ESPN-they do have a contract with them so they are a lil biased)....With the Zookster recruiting at a basketball school and stopping Ohio St and Michigan from padding their stats are gonna make those other coaches start working again....The Big 10 used to be alot better (look where most of the SEC coaches came from) but huge egos have led to complacency
Oh yeah and they have trouble with Div 1-A teams....lol
So get off ur high horse (its just a shetland) and hold your schools accountable. LSU fans love football, love their football team, but most importantly the love winning and when we don't win, we are the first ones to acknowledge it....believe me when i tell you this, The pressure to coach at LSU or most other SEC school is extremely high, but the good ones thrive in it.
I am not saying that other schools in other conferences dont have the pressure, but its not as high...especially once we are 3-4 weeks into the conference schedule

this arguement could go on forever....the year USC blew out Ark and then LSU barely beat them was the same year LSu blew out Arizona and USC barely beat them...Its college football...there are alot of variables, and most of them are not logical
I just wish the Rose Bowl officials (talk about homers) would have let LSU play USC in the Rose Bowl 2 years ago....that would have settled alot of crap

USC beat the only team that beat OSU at OSU- badly... are you not then just diminishing LSUs win?
the "this team beat that team so they are better than this team" logic does not work, and it only makes you look stupid when you try to use it
one example. Texas Beat Texas Tech, and Texas Tech beat Oklahoma so using the logic you present Texas should had beat Oklahoma

Notre Dame...Appalachain St...whats the difference right now (scholarships might be the only difference).....As I stated before, schools break contracts or postpone them with LSU...we like the free money to enhance our facilities, but YES i would luv to see USC or Michigan or West Virginia or even Hawaii (we can go there first...lol) instead of North Texas and Tulane, but they also take less of LSUs profits and our facilities get even better...its a great recruiting tool...and we get to go to a BCS bowl again and blow out some unknowing fool...haha

How does this happen for two teams in the same conference?Drive time between UGA & Clemson is probably 1.5 hours....drive time between UGA & LSU is about 10 hours....drive time between Rice & LSU is about 4 hours and Houston probably has more LSU alumni than any other city....recruiting area for LSU...however, we now very rarely play Rice.

This is why people hate you SEC homers. To beef up your schedule? What the hell else does the Pac 10 have to prove?You hate people because they think their conference is tough....think about that.
Come on Tall... have some respect for the Pac 10.
I've lived in Pac-10 country since 1991, gone to many games at several Pac-10 venues, have defended the Pac-10 against many of my friends comments, and my son just graduated from a Pac-10 University....don't worry, I respect the Pac-10 and greatly respect the Trojans program in the Pete Carroll era... but since the inception of the BCS system, the Pac-10 is 1-1 in the BCS championship game while the SEC is 4-0....so 1 BCS Title to 4 for the SEC...since the last time a Pac-10 team other than USC won the Mythical National Title, Bama & Tennessee won Titles and LSU & UF won 2....need I remind you that SEC teams have won the last 2 Titles...so have some respect for the SEC would ya.

whodem, out of the 3 of us ( Devil, whodem, and PC), you were the first to post on this thread with this obnoxious comment right away on page one:
The reason people dont jump on LSU weak OOC this years is because we win the big games and everybody knows we deserve what we get . OSU has failed to proved that the ill gotten gains of a easy schedule mean anything in the grand scheme other than consecutive embarassments over the last 2 years.
The SEC prepares you.... the Big10 props you.
Keep blaming others if it makes you feel better, but the bottom line is you sound very arrogant in 90+% of your posts and I am being kind by only saying arrogant. Hey, we all post differently, and I know from your posts that that is your style, but stop with the "I am only responding to them" attitude.

What? Wasn't Tennessee leading LSU in the 4th quarter just like Auburn was? Why did Auburn perform better? And why are you using games against Vandy and Alabama to decide anything? Strange. Anyway, what does Tennessee have to do with anything? I simply said they could be the one SEC 4 loss team in the top 15 because they beat Georgia, and only lost 3 regular season games, with their 4th being in the SEC title game.
pc, you are exactly right. But why is it a problem when someone defending SEC teams does it, but half the folks I have been debating use it routinely? In fact that is part of the reason I put it up here. Score comparisons are pretty weak. Have said that from the get go unless it is repeatedly thrown into my face and I return the favor.
??? Auburn gets the edge over Michigan because Michigan lost to Ohio State, a team that Auburn didn't even play? And Auburn gets the edge because Tennessee, also a team Auburn didn't play, beat Wisconsin? You lost me there. Does that mean I can say "the edge goes to Michigan" because USF beat Auburn, but lost to Cincy, Rutgers, UConn, and then lost 56-21 to Oregon? I could go through Auburn's schedule like you did above with Michigan's and find a ton of reasons to say Michigan gets the edge, just like we can go through every team's schedule and find negatives all over the place, but I really don't want to go there because using all of these other teams is ridiculous. I'll stick to just Michigan and Auburn when comparing Michigan and Auburn. As I said earlier, Michigan beat Florida, Illinois, and Penn State. Auburn beat Florida and Clemson. They each lost 4 games. Michigan lost to OSU, Wisky, Oregon, and Appy St while Auburn lost to LSU, Georgia, USF, and Miss St. I think the edge has to go to Michigan, but it's no big deal. That's just my opinion. More often than not, I place more importance on who teams beat, not who they lost close games to. Saying Auburn lost a tight one to LSU does nothing for me. You know who else lost a tight one to LSU? Alabama, the team that lost to La-Monroe. See, I would be good at that "use other teams" game if i wanted to play it. 
Oh I would argue that who teams lost to, where they lost and how they played in those losses is also a factor. Michigan lost 3 games by at least double digits. They lost to that Oregon team in the Big House and they lost huge. They lost to App State in the Big House. They lost to Ohio State in the Big House and had less than 100 yards in total offense. They lost by 16 to Wisky in Madison.
Auburn lost to a 4 loss USF in overtime at Jordan Hare. Auburn lost to a winning and surprising Mississippi State team by 5 inJordan Hare. They lost on the final play of the game in Baton Rouge against the National Champs. This was a healthy LSU team. They lost #2 or #3 in Athens by 25. But Auburn also led in the 3d Quarter.
Why does who a team lost to matter less than who they beat? I think it is clear here that Auburn was better in their losses.
Ok, now lets look at those wins. The Wolverines beat the Illini, Penn State and Florida. Auburn beat Clemson and Florida. Edge to the Wolverines....no problem with that.
I think the Michigan losses are uglier. I think their wins are better. I said I think that gives the edge to the Tigers. Edge. I also said that we could cover all these teams with a blanket and shake them up and come up with anything and any order.
As for that Tennessee and LSU and Auburn stuff. I have three reasons......It was late; I am old and most importantly, rcooke made me do it.

What about my statement isnt true? Did we NOT win the big games (VT, Auburn, Florida, Tenn & OSU?) Looks like we deserved what we got.
Did OSU not get beat handily based on what they did in the last 2 regular seasons? (41-14 and 38-24)
Was my page one post not a response to a Thread titles LSU OOC by a OSU pposter? Maybe we win because we fight for justice?

You're right. Thats the reason they had 11 players drafted by the NFL. No talent.Talent doesn't equate to championships in all cases. With all the talent they had back everyone was talking USC was going unbeaten with LSU as the only challenge. I admit they had good players but it doesn't equate to a title game appearance then yeah they were pretty overrated this year.

They lost on the final play of the game in Baton Rouge against the National ChampsKumbah Ya ...hey to be fair Auburn, had to receive the kickoff after the LSU score. So they lost on LSU's last offensive play, but there was still 2-3 seconds on the clock after that lucky throw and miracle catch.
