Sure. UA had the better team in 2011 due primarily to better QB play. Yet LSU was able to secure the defacto CCG, in Tuscaloosa. TideNation doesn't see the problem with this, as does much of TigerNation. With the playoff, winning the conference will still be the normal way of selection. This, at times, may not be the case for the 4th team, but that's leaving a lot to chance.

Saban is a great coach...but being lucky is not one of his virtues. I have a feeling his Shamrock allocation has been used up. By contrast CLM has them growing out of his butt.

Success covers all sins man. Some may take longer than others but eventually, this happens.

Most importantly, Saban and Miles has LSU at a position where the club makes its own mark. Forget UA, UF, or anybody else. They are simply clubs in the way. This is their regard for us, as it ought to be.

Agreed. Yet LSU still beat them in their back yard and had to play them again. I don't understand the point you are trying to make as a counter to my original statement that LSU's new standard is beating Bama twice in a season.

Ok.

I would expect TideNation to love this. Why shouln't they? They now know all they have to do is finish third in the SEC, lose their most important game AT HOME and they will be granted a trip to the NCG. What fanbase/team/program wouldn't love this? I honestly can't think of any.

Oh just wait and see my friend. I don't want to come off like a smartass bc you seem like a nice guy, but you haven't been paying attention to who runs CFB now.

I agree with you. Please don't mistake my acknowledgemnt of LSU's place in the eyes of the media as anything but that. I wouldn't trade LSU's success the past decade with anyone, Bama included.

All I'm trying to do is get Rantards to think like a media moron. Then they won't feel inferior and start threads like this. Not to mention this thread alone probably got that stupid article hundreds of "clicks", which is what the author's want.
