Right, as in the games LSU lost last season that they were supposed to win. One should say LSU does not lose games they are supposed to win, when n fact, they do--and not expect tp be called out on it.


touche'

However, those were lost in triple overtime by less than 3 points. They also had Heisman hopefuls on both teams. Not to mention it's the SEC which is FAR stronger than the PAC 10. I'd have put KY and ARK up against USC last year and bet on the SEC both times!

ESPN would do a fine job with the BCS. I like ESPN's telecasts of games way more than CBS or and other network. And no, ESPN does not hate LSU or the SEC, but may indeed love USC due to the population in SoCal. but hey, it's business.

I might as well add... if you play an SEC team, you're not "supposed" to win any game. They'll all be tough. Even the weakest SEC team is usually a tough one.

Wow.....just wow.

AT&T Cotton
Missouri 38, Arkansas 7

Gaylord Hotels Music City
Kentucky 35, Florida State 28 (barely beating Florida St. not terribly impressive)

Sorry, but at some point this USC thing needs to be put to rest. Why not accept that they're both great teams.

Actually, maybe he just meant they'd cover the spread? (Somewhere in the ballpark of 21 points or so I'd say)

ESPN having the BCS games would be money from a fans point of view(IMO) since fox does nothing with CFB till that week and I hate their announcers and pre/post game crews.

Because, and even in the opinion of some of the more rational LSU fans, an admittance of any sort that USC is a great team is somehow perceived by the irrational fans as a slight to LSU and detracting from LSU's fine accomplishments.

I admit that USC is a fine team, and the last few times they played SEC teams USC won pretty handily.
