ah i wanted this one

Their defense is the reason they have been the team to beat most of the season......Flynn has been inconsistent on offense.....

"It isnt like they have lost to scrub teams or been blown out...... "

They do have scrub teams, Arkansas, miss State, Ole Miss and Vandy. You can add kentucky to that list but everyone wants to drink thier kool-aid after they beat LSU.

LSU has never been great. They squeek by bad teams, they claim to have the best D in the nation yet they let 2 unranked teams put up 43 and 50 against them.

I'm so sick of the SEC losing a game and can't grasp that they may not have the best team in the country. NO, they go and claim that this bad team is now a contender. HAHAHA, NO!!!!


LSU has no buisness in the title game, and now they won't be there. They lose to Ten or UGA in the SEC title game.

I've said all season that they where overrated. got bached for it. I told everyone in 2 weeks ago McFadden would rush for over 200 yards and Arkansas would beat them. Flynn is not a good enough QB to keep them in the #1 spot.

Tennessee will beat them in the sec title game?
Not with that awesome rush defense Tennessee is showing off. Although they did hold McFadden to almost 100 yards less than LSU did.

vote to ytd becaus he has a better arguement... its a very subjective opic

topic...

Y simply doesn't understand the SEC.

LSU WAS overrated coming into the season. The defense is very talented, but the hype was to much for what they are actually capable of. I think everyone put them on a pedestal because of how dominant the defense was for LSU last season. Having guys like Steltz as the leader at S and not Laron Landry showed this season, and along with some other losses/injuries the defense was basically torched by seasons end.

LSU was a very very good team, not great(Hard to admit as a Tigers fan), and still has a shot in the SEC Championship Game...

LSU is toast....they will drop further than 6...it was an unranked team in the final week of the season...crazy to think they will have a "slim" chance

actually Steveo you don't know how the SEC works.

LSU will drop to 4-5 and Arkansas will be handed #20. You see when an SEC team loses it isn't because the team lost, NO, it is because the trash team that beat them is now GREAT.

Every team in the NCAA this year is overrated, not just LSU. Vote to dj.

Just end the season in a tie, and yes LSU was overrated, their only impressive win was over Vtech, they lost to Kentucky and Arkansas, played Auburn Alabama and even ole miss close and will get the stuffing kicked out of them by Tennessee

L.S.Who? I said since the beginning of the season lsu was not a #1 team!

Scwartz: couldn't have said it anybetter.
SOCAL: cute comment

will find out Sunday if your right Scwarts....doubtful but will find out....

You don't understand the SEC

When LSU beat VT, it was an awesome demonstration.
When Tenn lost to PAC10 #7, its because Cal is awesome.
When Auburn lost to the 3rd or 4th team in the BigE, its showed FSU was awesome.

When Louisiana Monroe Defeats 'bama, we ignore it.
When Miss played LSU close, it just went to show the SEC is solid top to bottom.

LSU is toast....they will drop further than 6...it was an unranked team in the final week of the season...crazy to think they will have a "slim" chance

Steve-O

It's a fact, if they win and Kansas and Missouri lose, there will be a 2 loss team possibly playing for the National title and that team cld very well be LSU......

"The SEC is the best conference in college football"

Recheck that little known but nobody cares facy dude...Pac-10 and SEC are pretty even, though the Pac10 is almost as good or better than the SEC at every game situation, the SEC is able to have a slightly better overall record because they play a higher percentage of the games that are 'easier (home games, games against Non-BCS or D1-AA teams). They play very few of the kind of games that they struggle in (away games against BCS-conference schools).
SEC fans criticism = "Maybe the SEC plays tougher teams than the Pac10 teams do". To explore this, I looked at the record of every BCS team played by both conferences. Here are the winning percentages of the opponents (BCS opponents only):

Home games
SEC opponents: 198-150 (56.90%)
PAC10 opponents: 200-145 (57.97%)

**The opponents are practically even, perhaps a little tougher for Pac10 teams but not statistically significant**

Away games
SEC opponents: 190-126 (60.13%)
Pac10 opponents: 234-177 (56.93%)

**The SEC opponents are tougher. You could certainly make a case that this skews the results, but at worst the Pac10 teams still do just as well as the SEC teams.**

Bowl games
SEC opponents: 298-121 (71.12%)
Pac10 opponents: 194-75 (72.12%)

**Despite Pac10 commish Hansen's best efforts, the Pac10 bowl opponents have a slightly better record than the SEC bowl opponents.

There you have it. Despite all the press to the contrary, the Pac10 out-performs the SEC in most situations. Perhaps the SEC teams are better than the Pac10 teams, but why don't the results bear this out on the field?
