Your only a 2nd tier team

Apparently Mark Schlabach of ESPN see's it differently. He gives out 1-5 tiers for each team in BCS Conferences. He puts us at that 1st tier. ESPN

Also, head to head is a good way to compare. Lets look at the 3 teams we have both faced in the last 2 years and see how each has done with them.

2009: LSU beat UW 31-23(by 8). UO beat UW 43-19 (by 24). (btw Oregon has beat UW the last 7 years by 20 or more points. Sorry to see you struggle)
2010: LSU beat Tenn 16-14(by 2). UO beat Tenn 48-13 (by 35). (again epic struggle with a gift win, while we broke their stadium record in biggest defeat)
2010: AU beat LSU 24-17(lost by 7). AU beat UO 22-19(lost by 3). (took a game winning FG to beat us)

Out of the 3 common opponents Oregon was much better 3 out of 3 times.

LSU gave up 61 points against those 3 common opponents.
UO gave up 54 points against those 3 common opponents.
LSU scored 64 points against those 3 common opponents.
UO scored 110 points against those 3 common opponents.

LSU fans who claim Oregon currently has only been a lowly tier 2 program, or LSU is vastly superior then UO, really have a logic problem to sort out.
