Below is the Current BCS TOP 10
Followed by:
Overall Record
Record vs. Top 20 opponents
Record vs. Top 10 opponents

Missouri...........11-1....1-1.....1-1
West Virgina....10-1....1-1.....N/A
Ohio State........11-1....N/A.....N/A
Georgia............10-2....3-0.....N/A
Kansas............11-1....0-1.....0-1
Virginia Tech....10-2....1-2.....0-2
LSU................10-2....5-1.....2-0
USC................9-2....2-1.....1-1
Oklahoma........10-2....2-0.....N/A
Florida.............9-3....1-2.....1-1

A few observations about the BCS Top 10:

1) LSU played more than twice the Top 20 opponents than any other team (6)
2) LSU was only team perfect against Top 10
3) LSU was only team with 2 victories vs Top 10
4) LSU is ranked behind a two loss Georgia team that:
a)dropped two games to unranked teams
b) Couldn't win it's SEC Division

5) LSU is ranked behind a two loss VT team that we beat by 41 points
6) LSU is ranked behind two "1" loss teams who don't have a Top 20 victory between them (Kansas and Ohio State)
7) LSU is the only team to have never trailed a game at the end of regulation play. (kind of a "so what"...but worth mentioning.)


I can see why everyone can't wait for Les to leave for Michigan...

I'm just saying....

And Tebow (Florida) has a losing record against Top 20 teams but everyone is scared to death of them.

part of the reason lsu's record looks so good against top 20 teams is because we lost to low ranking teams.

(emphasis added)

You mean team...
We only have two loses, Kentucky...who was ranked in the Top 20 when we played them (17) and Arkansas (not ranked)...

A Big East team needs to play in the next five national title games against a Big Ten team who doesn't have a championship game.

Then change would happen after you shut out the SEC, Big 12, and USC etc

Losing to a team NOT in the top 20,at home,is a bad loss.

NO shite!!!

Sort of like Georgia's at home loss to unranked SC!
and Ohio State's at home loss to unranked Illinois!
and USC's at home loss to unranked Stanford!
and Florida's at home loss to unranked Auburn!

Therefore, 5 of the Top 10 BCS teams...Have a "bad loss"!

I think the Strong points of LSU's schedule (which I pointed out) makes our "bad loss" more forgivable than the others! IMHO!

Not to mention, LSU's "bad loss" was pushed to triple overtime!
