Why LSU (And Other Major SEC Players) Will NOT Win An SEC/BCS Title in 2013

This post has nothing to do with Miles. Please don't turn it into this. This is directly related to the current SYSTEM in place that LSU and other SEC schools have to compete with in order to attain an SEC title, and in turn, a national title....except for Bama. They don't have to win the SEC. It's not needed.
I'm tired of post after post here of LSU bowing down to the might "Gods" at Bama. Actually, I view it as just the opposite.
I remember, like many LSU fans, that we DID beat them in 2010 and 2011, and came very close in 2008 and 2009 as well with Miles' worst teams.
Like most fans that don't drink the Saban/Bama/SEC/ESPN kool aid, I'm aware that Bama has had many things fall in their favor, by design, to get them where they are:
1) Favorable conference scheduling thanks to a Bama alum
2) Favorable officiating thanks to a Bama alum
3) Second chances, thanks to favorable media coverage (2011)
4) A "second chance" in 2012 again thanks to factors 1 and 2 above. (Same can technically be said for UGA as well in 2012).
With all that in mind, I'm simply going with the "process" of how CFB works.
Factor in points 1 and 2 above again for 2013 and I don't see how Bama CAN'T win another one. They have successfully pushed the system in their favor through money and influence. More power to them. As much as they, as a program, have invested in football, they SHOULD win it nearly every season with the accomodations above. I just don't see how they can lose it, honestly.
For those of you who say stupid shite like "well, beat them and it takes care of itself", all you are doing is giving them a week off and making their schedule easier for the rematch.
LSU, along with several other top SEC contenders are screwed for years to come with this system. That's why I'm saving my money from here on out. The game is rigged. Be happy with a random BCS bowl appearance here and there, because under this system, this is what LSU, along with other top SEC contenders, will be lucky to get.
I will still enjoy it, however, simply because I love LSU football. I'll still watch (at home) but I know what we are up against.
I think once many fans here are able to accept this, it will make your lives that much easier. At least I hope it will.
I've lit the fire, now I'll walk away...

Seems like a conspiracy theory, but when you look at everything it certainly makes sense.

How did scheduling play into Bama success in 11' and 12'?? What officiating caused their success both years?? Were they not the second best team at the end of the regular season last year?? We both had almost 4 weeks to prepare for the game on Jan 9. We had them beat this year. At HOME. Please please get off the Bama favoritism kick. The BCS started in what 1998, and it took Bama till 2009 to reap the benefits of this rigged system?? We sound like Saints fans during the 49er glory years. Let it go man!!!

Much more eloquent way of putting what I've been saying since the beginning of dec.

Point 2 is just plain stupid.

I agree with all of your post - except for the staying home part. I will always buy LSU football tickets. But yes, the system is not favorable for LSU. ESPN isn't helping either.

Agreed yet we have lsu tards that think it is okay to pull for Bama cause it is the sec.

EZE, just to add to your list.
Quinton Dial is playing in the game tomorrow. In the future, when the SEC calls for a player to be suspended for a hit, LSU should just tell them that "we handled it internally" like the gumps do.

Of course, the gumps would scream bloody murder if LSU or other SEC schools pulled such a stunt.

And what were the scores in 2010 and 2011
I'd also like for you to show me one clip where Barrett Jones gets away with holding. That's a myth that was conjured up on this site, by people like yourself, and then ran with as fact by the masses. What a sad post

Name 8(or 7 or 6) teams '11 Bama played without a winning record. You can't and you've been informed of this several times. In fact, LSU played a grand total of one more game against a team with a winning record. UGA in the SECC.
edit- I threw out Bama-LSU for obvious reasons(tied)

Interesting post.....BUT.....LSU should have won the National Championship last year as well as this year! We clearly had the quality teams! And this year we managed to "urinate away" 3 games that easily could and should have been won-even with all the injuries.
But we won neither year!! Why? TOTAL Lack of mental prepardness, which is the responsibility of the coaching staff, and also because of Miles offensive coaching philosophy, and his lack of control over his players with all the player rule violations year in and year out!! You won't see much of that type of crap with Saban's players!
I am a devout LSU fan-maybe too much so that I have become too critical!
The FACT remains...we should have won both years!!!
I personally do not think that Miles still has the "INTENSITY" and "drive" to win another National Championship! He has a very good overall program-but the desire is gone.

even tho this may not imply to your post..
they have been saying every year is the year the SEC won't win it all.. and the SEC keeps on trucking along.

LSU and Auburn gets screwed the most by Alabama, but the rest of the SEC will wake up to this realization soon enough. Hopefully by then, the other member schools will unite and move the offices, the officers and the officials out of Birmingham.
