We talk about OSU because you guys give us something to laugh at. If you feel flattered by being made fun of for getting beat exposing your inferior team and inferior conference, then you need a new hobby, pal.


I really don't buy that...where's all of the Bama threads if thats the case? How about the ones for OU?

And igoringa, don't flatter yourself...this isn't the only message board I frequent. I happen to like the SEC and LSU, and this board is the best for that purpose.

In my mind OU was a better team and deserved the NCG over USC


that's fine and all, but the fact is USC was the #1 team in both the traditional polls and didn't play in the BCS CG, if that didn't lead to a PO, then OSU losing to the SEC again wonm't either,

quote:

They had more wins against better opponents and lost to stronger opponent.

They played 1 more game, given that all teams do not play the same # of games, I don't think it should be considered that one team has 12 wins and someone else only has 11 if both have the same # of loses.
Now, I've long thought the OU SOS that year was grossly over rated, but by that formula LSU and USC were very close in SOS, if Hawaii had beaten Boise, I think USC would have edged LSU. OU had some name OOC games against Bama (who had a losing season) and UCLA. The Big 12 outside of OU and UT was garbage that year, at worst the conferences were a draw. The Big 12 was really bad in bowls that year. and they didn't just lose to a better foe, they got skullfricked. IMHO a 3 point triple OT lose to an unranked foe is a better loss than a 28 point beat down by a ranked team.

quote:

The OU defense in 2003 was awesome. If OU has a QB that isn't crippled and could throw we would have lost that game

their D was great, but White couldn't throw because we were all over his arse.

There patheticness has not made a mockery of the marquee game in the sport unlike you guys. Embarassments in big games are much more relevant to discussion (and further ridicule). Oh and look at SEC rant for plenty of bama junk.

Just because ohio state got dominated the last two years doesn't mean they didn't deserve to play in the NC next year or the the next five years for the matter. The last two BCS games proved that they weren't the best team in the country but that doesn't mean they weren't the second best team in the country.

I had no idea Florida and LSU were so far dominant of any other team in the past 2 years.. thanks for clearing that up.

They have been ranked preseason #1 ONCE this decade, with all the players they lose, they will not be #1 next year, so please get the sand out of your vagina.

I don't give a shite about the past decade. Did I mention the past decade? I'm talking next year. Because they got the greatest QB never to play a game. That took months to decide what school he was going to attend. It's called sarcasism. Had you not had your bf's pecker in your mouth you would've identified that

I hang out here, because it's the one of the best all around boards on the web. I post mostly on the OT and MSB, because they are great, entertaining boards. They have nothing to do with LSU. If it was a Oklahoma site with boards like that I'd be there, too. There aren't, though. I hardly ever post on the Rant anymore, unless it's a general thread about college football. I virtually never post in anything about LSU.

that's flawed logic. Pretty much anything can happen on a given night.

I would respond, but the OSU fan who claimed we are fascinated with them started another LSU thread so I should post there.

I don't know why one of you conspiracist haven't brought up the fact that Tressel is in a gambling ring. He is mixed in with the same crowd as Tim Donaghy.

His teams could have easily blown the SEC teams out, but Tressel puts on a good show for the first quater... Then he takes the proverbial "dive". Raking in more cash from dirty bets, than all the SEC head coaches pay combined.

last year should have been reason enough to change the BCS format. granted it worked out great for us, but seriously...

The best two teams in the nation played on Jan 7th 2008. You can't put OU or UGA over LSU or tOSU. UGA has no claim and OU's claim to be in front of LSU was weak and no existant for tOSU.

What really pisses me off is the fact the BCS was intended to make the hard objective choices for the NCG. But when it makes those choices someone gets pissed off.

Let me say it right here. A 8 team playoff will be no different. Someone who is #9 or 10 will cry about being left out. Some of the 8 teams will cry about seeding and venue. Teams and broadcasters cry over the NCAA BB tourney leaving out deserving teams, what will happen with 8 teams?

Those of you who dislike the BCS so much need to get grip and come up with a better alternative.
No BCS means LSU plays Hawaii in the Sugar, tOSU plays USC in the Rose, OU plays UGA in the Orange and Va Tech plays WVa in the Fiesta. What a train derailment that would have been.

The BCS is not perfect. But I happen to believe it is the best system college football has ever had. I also believe Villanova was not the best college basketball team in 1985.

I would like to respectfully disagree with this. If two teams have the same number of losses and one has played in a conference championship game and won that game, clearly the one with the conference championship has the edge.

I do realize that in the context you are speaking of (OU) they did not win the championship game.

The media loves OSU, Michigan, ND and USC too much to leave one of those four out, regardless of what happenned the year before.

You mean like in '06 when the media jumped Forida over Michigan to play in the NCG?


And didn't we jump USC last season when both teams were still undefeated?

Are you really saying OSU wasn't one of the top 13 teams in the country last year?


Or every night when OSU plays a legit team. Clearly they were not the #2 team in the nation last year; heck most buckeye fans have cracked that code.
