When LSU becomes the first school to win 3 BCS NCG's, will the media

finally give recognition that LSU is the top CFB program in the country?

That would mean that LSU would have won the BCS NCG in 3 out of 13 years the Crystal Trophy has existed. That is 23%, which is close enough to say that ONE of 120 schools won the Crystal Trophy nearly a QUARTER of the times in the BCS era. More impressively, that would be winning it all 3 out of 9 years for a 33% rate of winning it all.

And if we do win it all in 2011, our roster will be stocked to give it yet another legitimate run in the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

Most teams do not have a stocked and young roster that sets up for a legit 3 year run at the whole enchilada. Usually there are too many key losses at too many spots on the roster, but this will not be the case for LSU after the 2011 season - much the opposite will be the case, where the follow-on years will be just as strong and arguably stronger of a roster.

I really do think LSU can win it all in 2011. I have only said that twice before, and yes it was before the 2003 and 2007 seasons.

And if we do, wow what an accomplisment that would be. To win it all 3 times with 2 different coaches over a 9 year span of time.

Sure, it is anything but a given that we will do this, but if we do, the narrative from the national media will have to give recognition to the reason why Saban came to LSU in the first place, why he regretted ever leaving, and why CLM has turned down his dream job at his alma mater 2 times now.

LSU has what no other school in the nation can claim. We are THE school in THE state with the best source of NFL-caliber talent per capita (shared with Miss/SC/Alabama, but without sharing with other BCS conference schools within the state), and the proximity to states with a stockpile of talent.

The media will finally see that LSU is THE best Program in the nation. It is not Texas. It is not USC. It is not Bama. It is not Ohio State.

It is LSU.

POST SCRIPT: I realize some do and some do not care what the media says, so this is just for those that do care. As a person who watches tons of commentary about college football, and who wishes for as much of it as possible to reflect positively on LSU, I will be honest and say that I am one of those who do care what the media says/thinks. First of all it is interesting, secondly it can help recruiting and the other things that allow LSU to stay at the top, and thirdly it is very nice for something positive to be stated about the school and the state that I love. That's all. If you TRULY do not care, then it really shouldn't matter to you what folks say on the rant either, so you might want to give pause to whether you really live in a "all i care about is how I feel about LSU" bubble...You may be able to do that, but that does not make your philosophy more admirable than those of us who do care about what the media says.
