Meyer vs. Miles: A closer look
October 7, 2008 2:52 PM
Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low
They're the last two coaches to win national championships -- LSU's Les Miles and Florida's Urban Meyer.
They both came into the SEC the same season -- 2005.
They both have nationally ranked teams this season with enough talent to win some more hardware.
This is their fourth meeting, with Miles holding a 2-1 advantage.
Here's a closer look at their SEC coaching resumes heading into their showdown Saturday night at the Swamp:
Meyer Miles
Vs. SEC foes 20-8 22-6
Vs. Top 25 foes 11-5 16-5
Vs. Top 25 foes away from home 7-5 10-5
Vs. Top 10 foes: 6-2 8-3
Vs. Top 10 foes away from home 4-2 6-2
In bowls and championships 3-1 4-1
In games won by a TD or less 9-5 13-4
Record at home 21-2 22-2
Record on the road 8-6 12-3
Losses to unranked teams 4 1
Top 25 finishes 3 3
Top 10 finishes 1 3

Off topic, I know, but I find it hilarious that they block ESPN but not Tigerdroppings! The Rant is much more dangerous to their business! If they only knew...

Miles is definitely one of the most underrated coaches in college football. I'm tired of hearing people say that his success is because of Saban's recruits... he inherited a great program and has kept it great for 3 years now.

While theres no doubt Miles has been successful at LSU, whats his stats look when he coaches at programs that arent 2 years removed from a national title?
Meyer has been ultra successful at every place he coached. He won 2 conference titles at Utah in 2 years....they had ZERO title in the 50+ years of competing in college football![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconbanana1.gif)
