We won the BCS with 1 loss, and with 2 losses. So......no.

What do you think got us in 2007? Was it:
(a) Being undefeated or
(b) Beating the ever living crap out of another National Title contender OOC?
I will give you two guesses

Nope. The one to Iowa, either. The thread is about the wisdom (or lack thereof) of scheduling strong OOC teams during the regular season in terms of how it affects our shot at making it to the NC game. We are undefeated in our last 33 OOC regular season games (dating back to the season opener in 2002 against Va Tech).
Try to keep up now, ok?

Probably the one game that put LSU over the top for the 2007 BCSCG was the OOC game against the ACC champs, V Tech.
So no, I don't think scheduling cupcakes is the way to get to the BCSCG.
Aside from that, my enjoyment of LSU football doesn't come from the possibility of getting into the BCSCG. My enjoyment of LSU football comes week by week, game by game. I don't start out the season wishing the season was already over and LSU was in the last game. I MUCH prefer watching the individual games, and to that end, I would rather see LSU play top ten teams every week. I can't stand watching cupckaes coming in to Tiger Stadium to get their asses handed to them.
I know a lot of people would rather watch LSU blow everybody out 56-0, but I find those games incredibly boring. I would much rather watch LSU win nailbiters every week.
It just makes watching football more fun for me.

If I were a Boise St fan, I would get tired of watching us beat teams so badly, knowing that they are bad teams in a bad conferece. But, it gets them in the NC talk becuase they are undefeated. They get no penalty for playing such a bad schedule. As long as the coaches pool keeps rewarding them for palying a weak schedule, nothing will change.

your post makes no sense since we lost to an inconference foe. now, THEY are the ones that should be penalized more for playing a weak schedule. the only consolation is that THEY will never make the nc game if there is an undefeated team out there.

Oregons SOS is just atrocious, at this point it really doesnt make a whole lot of sense to schedule tough OOC games, as long as you are impressive.
Product of TCU and Boise IMO, CFB used to be argued objectively and somewhat like March Madness selections.
Now its heavily weighted towards blowing teams out.
shite schedule, no problem, just beat everyone by 30-40 and youre golden.
its dumb

It is hard enough to stay unbeaten in the SEC. Anyone agree? If we had played ark st and west ky instead of UNC and WV and we were undefeated right now, where would we be ranked? 1 or 2, I'd bet.
FAIL in so many ways it's tiring just to think about it.

At least two, probably three, of them couldn't carry our jocks.

Hawaii was undefeated too and look what happened to them. Georgia rolled over them. TCU or Boise would be a prime example if any would step on the field with an SEC team in the sugar bowl.
SEC speed too much.

We should never back away from facing a tuff OOC schedule.
We are LSU...bring it on!
There is no shame in losing, but there is shame in not even trying cause we might fail. imo

SOS is our friend. Plus who wants to sit through crappy games like ULM,. Apparently no one. Did you see the empty stands before, during and late in the game. I think attendance was 62,000.

I really think we just need to go ahead and get it over with. Let TCU or Boise St get into the BCSNCG this year and get their butts handed to them, then we won't have to pretend anymore. If they do make it, and somehow are able to put up a good fight, then they deserve to be there, if however they get routed, which is what all of us believe will happen...then going forward we can summarily dismiss them until they start playing a tougher schedule.
Let this be the year that it happens. I'm tired of the speculation, lets settle it on the field. I would take great personal pleasure from watching an undefeated Cam Newton and AU stomp the living crap out of TCU and send them back to mountain west hell forever!
