Get over my jealously?

you are clearly jealous or "butt hurt" over "bigger" name programs like USC and Alabama.

As I recall the computer factors favored us and/or OU over USC in 2003, and it was very close, and we and OU got in. Then the next year the computer factors were de-emphasized. I guess that was just a coincidence, huh

No it was done on purpose, but not as you seem to think because "media" darling USC got left out, but rather because the team ranked #1 in both traditional polls was left out. That was the outrage leaving out #1, it just so happened to be USC, but would have been the same if it was anyone. The computer formulas were redundant anyway.

Bama should've been at least behind Boise after 11/5, and possibly even Oregon who'd looked pretty damn good after we beat them. Happy now?

at least you put names to it, but I have a hard time believing you'd feel that way if the tables were reversed or even if LSU was not involved. Most people would howl in outrage if Boise was ranked ahead of LSU if we had just lost to Alabama by 3 in OT. And Bama's schedule was clearly much better than Boise to that point. a nd Oregon still lost to a the same team as they did, only by a greater margin. At that point I don't think they had even beaten a ranked team and certainly no one near as good as Arkansas.

The "media darling" changes from year to year and LSU has gotten plenty of media love over the last 8-9 years. The media loves good teams and coaches and they do go overboard with hyperbole. Right now its Saban and Bama. A few years ago it was USC, before that Miami and FSU, before that Nebraska. They really follow the bandwagon, more than lead it.

The trouble is people like you want them to view things the way you do as an LSU fan. I bet a lot of Bama fans felt they were dissed by the media all year. anything they say good about LSU, you will say they should say it. anything you disagree with you will saay they are biased against LSU same if they say something good about Bama, you will say its biased, but if you were honest and unbiased, Bama deserves a lot of the praise they have been receiving, going 48-5 with 2 NC in a 4 year span is praise worthy.
