So, did LSU underachieve?

    Well, I got your point... this stuff always gets me in soooo much "twoble"... but for someone to think fUSC (I don't like you guys either... mainly because you've been beating the crap out of everybody and Pete seems gay to me) would have had "woeful success" playing in the SEC over the past few years... well, I could use some of their drugs...
    Auburn lost one conference game in two years (2004 & 2005) friggen 15-1... yet they lost to GT and Wisconsin out of conference. Is someone suggesting the 2004 and 2005 versions of USC (sorry, forgot the f) couldn't have pulled that off... if not better it?
    Lunacy, I tell ya...
    The PAC-10 has played 92 OOC games over the past five years against other teams from BCS automatically-eligible conferences. They're 45-47.
    The SEC (12 teams) have played 107 OOC games during the same time span against other "BCS league" teams and they're 53-54.
    Does anyone see a domination factor here?
    Using the same five year span, only three PAC-10 teams have winning records against other BCS league teams: USC is 16-2; Cal is 8-3; ASU is 7-5; everyone else is .500 or worse.
    Guess what, same with the SEC (with two more teams, mind ya): Georgia is 12-1; LSU is 7-3; Auburn is 6-5; Kentucky is .500 and everyone else has a losing record.

    Now for the big question.... So, Hawker, you fool you, who do you think has the best conference?
    (me): Well, in any given year I think the SEC runs one, sometimes two teams deeper than some of the other leagues. Do I therefore conclude they must have the top one or two best teams nationally each year? No, there's plenty of good programs out there. Did I mention I hate USC???

    Hate away. Should I have expected anything different? :) I'm not a quitter and yet it's tough to make strides here in SEC country.

    You can always take solace in the fact that USC has played more OOC BCS teams over the last five years than Bama, Ole Miss and Miss State combined.

    Remember, in football, everybody hates the winners, unless, of course, it's them.

    Careful Hawker, some could take that to mean that everybody hates ND because they're winners!:wink:

    As far as tiger fans are concearned, they may have a popular "favorite" to hate from time to time, but I've learned over the many years that for most it's love LSU, hate everyone else!

    Very funny. When we were at the bottom of the Pac10 during the 90's, I woulda' had to pay somebody to hate us.......okay maybe not the irish and utla. :hihi:

    Personally, I don't hate, I just want to settle it on the field.
