We knew you would go out of your way to diminish anything LSU accomplished this decade. I'm sure you would say Mississippi State has done more this decade than LSU has.

You're right, saying LSU is the 2nd most successful program this decade is a direct slap in the face to the school I attend. You're so god damn stupid it's painful.

Does LSU have a better record?
Does LSU have more all americans?
Does LSU have more Heisman winners?
Does LSU have more conference championships?
Does LSU have more national titles?

The only advantage LSU has is that we don't have a losing season and generally play in the best conference. Just because everyone thinks the SEC is the NFL and Pac-10 is pop warner does not give you a legit reason to rank LSU ahead of USC.

1. USC
2. LSU
3. UF
4. OSU
5. OU

That's the list.

Considering over half of SC's conference championships were shared anyway, and that in 3 of the 4 seasons we did not reach the SEC Championship Game we were one game away from it (Auburn in '06 and '04; and Arkansas, Auburn or Bama in '02; Auburn in '00), how much difference in the quality of conference competition do you think it would take to eliminate that margin of conference titles? And considering that one more loss in either of what you deem their "National Championship" seasons (by a team that has managed only one undefeated seasons anyway) would have completely eliminated them from consideration, and that LSU was one more win away from a shot at the National Championship Game in '06, is it really a stretch to "objectively" conclude that even a slight difference in strength of conference competition could be responsible for a weaker SC program purportedly equalling a superior LSU program in number of National Titles?

Does it really take an NFL-to-Pop Warner margin of competition to account for one more or less win in 3 or 4 seasons over the course of a decade?
