re: As the season draws closer and closer, Oregon fans get crazier and crazier

I think a better way to look at it is to see how many of our games are against bowl teams.


2003= LSU 6 | UO 6 <- LSU wins NC
2004= LSU 7 | UO 5
2005= LSU 6 | UO 6
2006= LSU 7 | UO 6
2007= LSU 9 | UO 8 <- LSU wins NC
2008= LSU 8 | UO 6
2009= LSU 7 | UO 8
2010= LSU 8 | UO 4

7yr Average: LSU plays 7 bowl teams whereas UO plays 6. That means even though UO may play less "cupcakes" by the terms defined in this topic they play one less bowl opponent per year.

In this same 7 year period LSU has faced 4 teams that would win the National Championship whereas UO faced 1.
