2007 LSU got the breaks and 2006 did not.

Come on man!
How can you make the argument that the 2007 team got the breaks? One starting DL was injured in the first game, if I remember correctly and the rest of the season. Dorsey missed several games after the Auburn game, and was not the the same player until the championship game. In addition, in 2006 JR was throwing to three experienced receivers, Davis, Doucet, and Bowe. Two were first round draft choices In 2007, when Doucet was injured, Flynn was throwing to to a JC and a first year starter, La Fell.
Study the roster and note the difference in injuries.

Well, the 2007 team was the first two loss team to make the BCS championship game, as well as the first team in nearly 50 years to be crowned universal champ in the various polls with two losses.

1. lost two games to teams they had no business losing to
2. pitt beat WVU when all WVU had to do was win that game, and they were in. Pat White being hurt also was a huge break for LSU.
3. a ton of other teams losing helped get LSU into the game

basically the stars aligned pretty well for LSU after the UT SECCG win... with a backup QB.
