re: Anybody else think LSU does not deserve to be in NC consideration?

Sometimes it's not who you beat but how you win. Oregon crushes other teams, including the two ranked ones. LSU loses to Tennessee but gets off on a technicality. Not equal in my eyes.

Last I checked, TCU crushed all the teams they played also, which included 2 ranked teams as of last weekend (Baylor is now the top among others receiving votes this weekend). TCU has also played and beaten 5 teams that have been ranked at some point this season (thus contributing to why they aren't ranked anymore).

I get that TCU wouldn't be undefeated in the SEC (but most of you think nobody will be undefeated in the SEC after Auburn plays Bama, so that's a stupid point to make), but why does everyone give Oregon a pass? They've played just as few strong teams as TCU and Boise--in fact you might argue that TCU and Boise have had more impressive bodies of work. Nobody understood why Stanford suddenly jumped from 19 to 9 in two weeks when they beat an unranked Wake Forest and an unranked Notre Dame, but now it's obvious that it was so people would be able to point to that game and the quality win for either Oregon or Stanford for national championship consideration later in the year. The PAC 10 is weak and whoever plays Oregon for the NC should be chomping at the bit, but that's assuming that Oregon doesn't lose at Oregon St to close the year, which I am not so sure won't happen.
