re: So.... How many NCs did Les leave on the table?

It's a fricking stupid argument to only look at one team's close calls. And that's of course also overlooking the close games teams WON that could have gone the other way too

Look at the LSU-A&M game last year, from an A&M fan view, they blew that game. They lost by 5. They returned a kick 76 yds that resulted in a missed FG. Along with another FG and an int that bounced off the Rec hands. LSU fans of course see it differently.

Oregon was a couple of plays away from winning like 4 or 5 under Kelly.

Oklahoma could have won like 8.

An LA paper did a break down on about 5 or 6 plays that could have given USC 5-6 NC's under Carroll. They won the AP in 2003, but lost in triple OT to Cal, win that and they are undisputed champs. Convert on 4-2 vs Texas and they win 3 straight. They also had a penalty that gave Texas a first down on the final drive. In 2006 they lost 13-9 to UCLA,, 1 more play there and its 4. 2007 stop Stanford on that last play and its 5. 2008 they lost 27-21 vs Oregon State, 1 more drive...

We could do that for Florida State in the 90's. Miami is literally 2 plays (and INT in the EZ vs PSU in 86 and a 2 pt conversation vs ND in 88) from 4 btw 86-89.

The fact that Bama and Saban have now won 3 of 4 warps peoples view, but that has only happened twice for a reason.
