If you think Miles would have done the same, why did we not hear it in '06? That year most of the country agreed that LSU was scary, and nobody really wanted to face them. They finished 3rd in country w/o making the SECC, very similair to UGA, yet no national whine sessions took place.


How was LSU in '06 the same as Georgia in '07?

LSU finished with two regular season losses in '06 while the teams that were ahead of them playing for the national title finished undefeated (Ohio State) and with only one regular season loss (Florida).

In '07, Georgia finished the regular season with the exact same number of losses as LSU.

About the only similarities I see between LSU '06 and Georgia '07 was the fact that neither team played in the SECCG. LSU had no room to argue in '06 because they had lost more games than both Florida and Ohio State. At least Georgia had the same record as LSU when the regular season was over and done with last year.

Anyway...just wanted to point that out. Carry on.

i did not say the same, i said similair. there were indeed differences. BUT LSU's determining loss was to #2 ranked Florida, not Tennesee (i can't rememebr their ranking) so points either way.

If the regular season alone determined the participants in the BCS Championship, things would have been different in ....let's see of the top of my head '01, '02, '03, '04, '05, '06 07. I don't see the relevance here.

again, The SECCG helps sometimes; LSU in '03 and '07, and it hurts somtimes UT in '01, but either way it should be and is considered when making these descisions. The "regular season only" debate doesn't hold much water in my boat.
