I think your boy Lebron got a fluke title in 2013... but Spurs probably got a fluke gift with the Westbrook injury.

Chances of winning Bama and Georgia games probably less than 1/2 a percent

It's easy to forget that they won in a ridiculously lucky way last week as well.

If you recall, Alabama didn't win their division in 2011 and beat 1 ranked team.

Our 06 BCS title team had a lot of close calls.

There's a difference between an easy schedule and flukes.

If Bama had a bunch of close calls v that easy schedule it would be different, but look at the scores... they crushed everyone.

It shouldn't be held against them that the 2 best teams in the nation happened to be in the same division of the same conference. 2011 Bama was legit.

2011 Bama is also one of the greatest teams of the BCS era. I get what you mean about them needing luck.

2007 LSU has to be #1. A 2-loss team that played for a national title? Only Les Miles can pull something that flukey. And I say that as an LSU fan.

The thing with 2007 LSU is they showed stretches of dominance when they were completely healthy... and again showed dominance in the BCS title game.

Their defense went from amazing the first half of season to total shite 2nd half, mainly injuries... which caused them to rely on more luck.

The SEC championship is it's own title. You could make an argument that the SEC champ game has been a more legit title than the BCS title for a while now.

Ohio State was the flukiest in the BCS era...like you said.

All those close games and miracle last second plays - not to mention the NC last second miracle flag.

Solid team. But things just seemed to always break their way...sort of like last year's Notre Dame - except, Ohio State won.

52 win team that needed refs to win the FInals, ended up going 45-41 the year after and turned into a 15 win tanking shite squad not too long after that.

I'd say they're without question the flukiest and weakest/most pathetic NBA "Championship" team ever.
