re: LSU ranked No. 9 in AP and Coaches' Polls.

In a playoff world, Oregon would spank LSU and leave the SEC homers clinging to the last remaining shreds of imaginary dominance.

I've been for a playoff for years. It would get rid of all the arguments about conference strength and add a bunch of good football games.

Oregon is a good team and should be ranked higher, but saying that Oregon would spank LSU is stretch. As for people questioning the dominance of the SEC, I'd just like to point out that it happens every year ... once we get into our SEC games. You can't judge the relative strength of conferences when two teams from the same conference are playing. As it stands now, the SEC champ has manhandled the best of the rest in 4 of the last 6 championship games (and we weren't invited to the other two). Until they knock us off our perch, the SEC is king and the SEC champ should be in the MNC game.
