This guy is making a case that in the last 3 seasons LSU has done better than Alabama

From the article about LSU:
quote:

A 34-6 record, 20-4 in the SEC. You've won an SEC title and your teams have been consistently ranked among the top teams in the country. Oh, and you've gone 2-2 against Alabama, your biggest rival right now.


And about Bama:
quote:

Apply the same criteria to Alabama. The Tide has gone 35-5, 19-5 in the SEC. The Tide have won one SEC title, the same number as LSU in this span, and they also went 2-2 in the LSU-Bama series. Bama has lost three games to non-BCS bowl teams.



I'm not sure how he gets the stat that LSU has fewer SEC losses in the last 3 years than Bama, when I count its the same

2010:
LSU 2 losses
Bama 3 losses

2011:
Each team had 1 ( to each other)

2012:
LSU 2
Bama 1

That's 5 loses for each team

I understand its a home town paper but come on, that's just idiotic. There's gotta be some other topic that makes LSU look good with being ridiculous

Why? Over the past 3 seasons we have. They have played a way easier schedule and got extremely lucky to make it to the BCS game in the dome. They have the hardware but to say they are above us is just stupid considering everything.

I think it's a lot closer than some believe. Clear advantage for LSU in 2010. Okie St in 2011? Suspension of best player in 2012.

It's all about the here and now though, 2013 will be a great season.

I assume the losses would be for regular season SEC play, so not including bowl games.

As a LSU fan, I would take 2 National Championships over any BS, rationale, gimmicks, or whatever else someone can come up with!

The obsession of everything Bama related on this board is pathetic.

That's kind of the whole point of the article.

If an Oklahoma State kick is a few feet over in 2011, and LSU can gain a first down on 3rd and short in the fourth quarter in 2012, then anyone who said Alabama had a better stretch over the last 3 seasons would be laughed at. Instead, things went the other way, and no one can question that Alabama has had a better run.

Game of inches.

I don't think they are counting LSU's loss to Bama in the BCS as an SEC loss. It's a bowl game, not necessarily an SEC match-up. That's all I can come up with.
