re: CFN's Fiutak on "The SEC (/LSU) and the national title."

Holy crap people. You have got to stop seeing anti-LSU in such innocuous commentary! Fiu's point was that the record should not be the be-all, end-all when judging whether a team is to be considered for the national championship game!

The subject of the initial conversation was LSU. Yes, LSU's loss to Arkansas was inexcusable. So was West Virginia's loss to Pitt. But the paragraph was not about WV, it was about LSU. Raise your hand if, after the loss to Arkansas, you were saying to all your buddies, "Hey, after all, it was Arkansas. They've had a great season. I half expected them to come into Baton Rouge and devastate our season." Nope, every one of us was saying it was terrible to lose to Arkansas, and we needed the miracle of Mizzou and WV losing to get back into the BCS NCG.

Every article is not a slam on LSU. Get over it.

1. CFN is the best at what they do. Hands down.


2. No one who wants a layoff can complain about LSU being a 2-loss team NC.

Now, let’s Georgia pulls an LSU and wins the SEC title with an impressive 35-10 win over Auburn,

Theres your problem! LSU will pull the LSU and beat Florida in the SECCG.

Here is your other problem:

Now lets say that after what happend last year, anything can happen... and making up ridiculous scenarios (like Clemson going undefeated; and the BCS not causing controversy) are a waste of time. There is no way the two loss UGA /(SEC team of your choice) jumps any BCS, undefeated team. No matter how much anybody cries about it.

this scenario would be alot more contraversial if Ohio St and Clemson both had 1 loss instead of being undefeated.

I think that Fiutak's article would have been much more compelling if he had....

Let's say UGA only loses a 27-26 game at LSU (or the Cocktail party), and Clemson runs the table in a weak ACC conference....

Now were talking controversy. I'd say, put the Dawgs in the big game.

It's always amazing to me how nothing excuses even the slightest failure by LSU (toughest schedule, horrible calls by biased refs, unbelievable rash of injuries, etc.)

---

Don't worry, typical LSU fans always provide enough excuses as evidenced above.

And name me one excuse USC or the media gave for the Trojans losing to Stanford?

LSU fans never hold themselves accountable...it's always about injuries...like you guys are the only ones who have injuries. USC had more injuries than anyone last year and yet you don't hear them complaining that their QB played with a broken hand and that USC's linebackers were hurt for the Stanford game not to mention half their O-line went down the first two weeks.

USC lost...that's football. LSU lost...that's football.

What I was saying was.....Hey, we are banged up badly. Our qb is going half speed, our D is missing 4 key players and Arkansas played their best game of the season by far and it STILL took them 3 OTs to win the game.
But of course, folks like you were thinking that if only little Nicky was still here LSU would have beaten KU by 30 and Arkansas by 21.
