All the SOS arguments go out the window if we can't beat the team that matters.

SOS matters. If LSU played Alabama's schedule and only had to get up for one or two games, including the Bama game, it would be LSU and Miles getting the accolades for being a "Dynasty". Just look at last year. During the regular season, Alabama had one rough spot on their schedule, LSU followed by A&M at home. They should have lost to LSU, limped back to Tuscaloosa banged up, but undefeated, then lost the following week to A&M.

Meanwhile, LSU piled up the injuries playing A&M and Florida on the road and Washington and South Carolina in TS. And before any of you knock Washington, I would have taken UW over Michigan on a neutral field all day long.

It's exactly like the argument against Boise State. It's easier to beat the one big team on your schedule if you don't have to do it week in and week out.
