Those Tigers are something else aren't they? They just find a way to win.

42 unanswered points. unreal. they're like a horse that doesn't leave the gate well-but once they get in stride, you better look out.


mathieu named mvp-figured it was between him and hilliard. this team has some depth. i'm loving it.

It is unreal how they win. Big plays on defense and special teams, impeccable kicking, Jefferson is pretty much a non-factor. They just hang around the first half and when its over, they are up by 30 every time. I feel for Lee, but the fact is they dont really need him in there. Within the last few days, information has come to light about why Lee hasnt hit the field and it make some sense to me. He may not be academically eligible past midterm, thus the full-time switch to Jefferson.

Just like when I started this thread, I like LSU again. Not sure I love them as 3-5 point favorites though.

I'd rather see whatever happens betwixt LSU and Ok State than see another field goal suckfest.

i like to think it wouldn't be...but who knows?

How does a team who failed to qualify for a confrence championship game get to play in the national title game?

I really don't care if they're one of the two best teams... or the best one-loss team.

If you finish 2nd out of 6 in a division of the SEC -- you have no business playing for a national title.

Stupid.

Dont you know the sec is far superior to all other conferences and all other teams. No non sec teams would stay within 14 of lsu or alabama.

Folks, look on the bright side. This ends the SEC's perfect record in the BCS championship game.

the system is supposed to produce the two best teams for the title game. if they're the best two, and it seems you agree that they are, what more is there to say?
should alabama be punished because it's in the same conference and division as lsu? that seems somewhat unfair, doesn't it? it wouldn't be right to exclude a team solely because of where it plays. if it's the 2nd best team, it's the 2nd best team.
lsu is the only no loss team. bama has one, in ot-which gives it a better record than any other team in the top 20 except okla state. however, bama's ot loss was to lsu, whereas ok st lost in ot to iowa state, who has a 6-6 record.

Certainly they appear the two best teams -- but that's the system that the conference championship game should produce.

Why did Georgia need to play LSU last week? Boise State ran circles around them.

The National Title game should be determined by an 8-team tournament where each conference is represented by a single champion.

SEC, ACC, Pac 10, Big 10, Big 12. Big East are the six automatic confrences whose champion always gets represented.

The other two playoff slots go to the two highest ranked Champions among: Conference USA, Mountain West (TCU), WAC (Boise State), MAC (they have a good team once every 5 years) or an Independant such as Notre Dame.

The regular season would be more important -- the confrence championship games would all be more important -- and the playoff would be interesting.

Seed the highest against the lowest. 1 hosts 8. 2 hosts 7. 3 hosts 6. 4 hosts 5. Championship game played at select venue.

Pretty. Fucl<ing. Simple.
