If we still have Miles, Cam, and Peveto around to frick up the offense and special teams we aren't winning the SECW. I am excited about the defense for the first time in a while, though.

Sounds good to me. You are right in that there is not going to be any major restructuring, at least not any time soon.

Force all teams to join a conference first and foremost. Just play conference games and make all conferences have a championship game for conferences that have separate divisions.

---

There's no way to just play conference games. The big time programs aren't going to accept playing six home and six away games every year. They need a minimum of seven home games with eight home games at least every other year. That means the ability to schedule OOC teams (and even out of league, which I don't like) from weaker conferences...the "cupcakes" and "rent-a-wins".

That produces a large conference with a big difference between the top and bottom. It doesn't really make sense to enforce any playoff scheme designed for a system with built-in parity measures onto the FBS with its inherent disparity.

I do agree that the "power" conferences should all have divisions and a conference championship game. I don't like seeing Oklahoma sitting on its arse and cruising into the playoff while other teams have to play their way in for an extra week.

I'd like to go back the BCS but expand it to four teams.

What is ATVS?

finished 3-5 that year. How the hell is THAT possible?!

Because three west teams finished 2-6 in 08.

ot that it matters--they both suck, but we finished tied for 3rd this year and tied for 4th last year. Tie breakers are meant determine #1, they don't distinguish 3rd from 4th. Plenty of reasons to criticize Miles, lets just be intellectually honest

---

I chose to apply the tie breaker because imo it gives a more accurate ordering, official or not.

Now, for those who know what a regression line is, imagine one to indicate the trend. If you are Kirk Herbstreit, don't bother. You either are too political or dumb to digest this honestly.

LOL Nicely done!

Well, I would assume there has to be some premise behind the thread other than just giving people information they already know.

I think the averages are kind of interesting.

ETA: I'm making no comment here, just supplying the numbers. I'm sure some people will assume this is a pro-Miles post while others will assume it is an anti-Miles post. LOL :lol:

Miles has my support. I don't think he will win another SEC title

---

Well, there ya go, and you have a lot of company. If I truly thought someone was not capable of doing their job at a high level, I would not support their continued employment in that position. I don't think Miles will win another title, either, which is one reason why I can't in good conscience support him. I want more out of the program, but maybe I'm just a dreamer and should just accept the fact that LSU is not capable of winning football championships. But all is well. rah rah sis boom bah
