re: Name 9 football programs better than us today

I do see. Big games for LSU only count to you in seasons in which LSU is good. The 0-12 in the games you didn't mention against top 10 teams don't count at all and Ohio State beating a top 10 team easily that beat LSU in a bowl game doesn't count because in your esteemed opinion our conference isn't good.

Thanks so much for clearing that up for me.

Wait, so is the question 9 better programs in their current state or 9 programs that had a better season in 2009?

I can think of only a handful of the former, but about 15 in the latter. Who really cares? 2010 is just around the corner, and the young bucks that weren't ready to play this year or didn't have enough talent to justify them playing over the upperclassmen with more experience will be ready.

Yeah, I don't get why a NCG is the only big stage game, either. I remember the 2008 UF-LSU game being a big stage game. I believe LSU was #2 and UF was #4 (could be wrong, of course), and LSU got their asses handed to them (worse than we did in the NCG against UF). This year, Florida was another big game. They lost that one, too. I'd say, while the Cap One isn't a huge game, it's still a pretty big game (likely the biggest non-BCS bowl), and they lost that one, also.

There are plenty of big college games throughout the season. You're telling me LSU has only had two big games in the history of their program? That is ridiculous. I've been to 6 LSU games in the last three seasons (none of them were the title game). I'm not an LSU alum and I got the perception those were big games.

Go to a Michigan-Ohio State game, go to a Texas-Oklahoma game and tell me those aren't big games. Especially in college football where winning every game is almost a necessity you have many big games. Both Ohio State and LSU have had their good times and bad times with big opponents the past decade.

Also consider the magnitude of a game mostly matters to the fans and alum of the schools involved. A Texas fan would rather watch their game with OU more than any game an SEC team will ever play. An Ohio State fan cares more about their game with Michigan than they ever will about an SEC game.

Oregon
Wisconsin
Boise State
TCU

Oh Kentucky, Boston College

LSU is deff better than ohio state. yall play in a weak confrence. you said yall beat penn state , who beat lsu. yall lost to USC. which was a terrible team. the media love ohio state thats yall are all ways ranked so high. Any LSU didnt have that bad of a season. we barley lost to the number 1 and 2 team in the counrty . then our coach lost us the ole miss game. we would have prolly beat penn state had we not played in a slop pit. that field totally nuetrlized our speed advantage over penn state. any way lsu would prolly beat ohio state in a good field.

"Media loves Ohio State"


LOL....Nobody has been treated worse by the media the last 4 years then Ohio State. What rock have you been living under? The public bashing of Ohio State and the Big Ten has been pretty well documented. They try to make us feel bad for rooting for Ohio State and the Big Ten. Its pathetic. Reece Davis, Mark May, Trev Alberts, Jesse Palmer, Lee Corso and the list goes on and on. Ohio State haters are just that...haters!! The Big Ten being weak argument holds NO WATER this past season. The Big Ten was the ONLY conference that finished with 3 teams in the top 10. The Big Ten was the ONLY conference to have 4 bowl wins against top 15 opponents. That says something. Yes, Alabama was the best team in the country this year, but that in NO WAY means that LSU is better then Ohio State today. Why cant people realize that Ohio is a top 5 high school football state and will ALWAYS be in the conversation? Some of the ignorance spewed by SEC homers is beyond annoying.

Oh and just for the record, Ohio State, Penn St, Iowa and Wisconsin were ALL better then LSU this year. Thats right, 4 slow unathletic Big Ten teams.

Ohio State has a better shot of winning their conference and getting to the title game next year than LSU does.

I would have to agree with this only because we have to play SEC teams. You know the toughest conference in the country that has won the BCS 4 years in a row. DUH.

if ohio state and lsu played today lsu would win. we played penn state on a shite field and would have destroyed them on a good field. ohio state can't beat usc , so how are they in better chance to go to the nc . they lost to a terrible usc team , and not to mention purdue. i guess they are great to. lmao ,lost to usc and purdue
