LSU claims 3 National Championship which I have no problem with but still they are not true NCAA Football Championships. One that LSU claims is listed below.

The 2003 college football regular season ended with three one-loss teams in BCS contention: the LSU Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners, and USC Trojans. USC ended the regular season ranked No. 1 and LSU No. 2 in both the AP Poll and the Coaches' Poll. Media controversy ensued when the BCS computer-based selection system chose LSU and Oklahoma as the participants in the BCS title game, largely based on an assessment of the relative difficulty of the three teams' 2003 schedules. During the bowl games, LSU beat No. 3 Oklahoma 21–14 in the Sugar Bowl (designated as the BCS National Championship Game for the 2003–04 season), while USC defeated the No. 4 Michigan Wolverines 28–14 in the Rose Bowl. LSU was ranked No. 1 in the final Coaches' Poll, and USC remained No. 1 in the final AP Poll.

The regular season ended with three one-loss teams in BCS contention: Oklahoma, LSU and USC. USC ended the regular season ranked #1 and LSU #2 in both the AP Poll and the Coaches' Poll. USC lost one triple-overtime game at California, which finished 8–6; LSU had a 12-point home loss against a Florida team that went 8–5; Oklahoma, which had been ranked #1 for most of the season, fell to #3 after suffering a 35–7 defeat in the 2003 Big 12 Championship Game to Kansas State, which finished 11–4. Controversy erupted when the BCS computers selected Oklahoma–LSU as the BCS title game. During the bowl games, USC had a convincing 28–14 win over #4 Michigan in the Rose Bowl while LSU beat Oklahoma 21–14 in the Sugar Bowl (designated the BCS title game). USC remained #1 in the final AP Poll with 48 of the 65 votes, and LSU was ranked, by contractual obligation, #1 in the final Coaches' Poll, though three coaches did not follow instructions and voted USC #1 in that poll as well.

Which of these two teams was the true National Champion. The answer is both because there was not a true National Championship playoff system.

Augusta Tiger, Agree with you on the move to FBS. In FCS GSU had a legitimate chance to play for a championship. Sure it was a lower level but Championships meant something. In FBS we're just a nobody that will never play in a National championship. At least not in my lifetime

Yes Georgia Southern is proud of its 6 NCAA National Championships which is 6 more than LSU has in football. Key word from the above statement is NCAA. With the way the FBS football Championship is set up today over half of the schools playing at the FBS level are in the same boat as Georgia Southern. GS fans knew this when our school moved up to FBS. Moving up was the right decision for Georgia Southern. Below is a list of only the schools that have moved up to FBS that Georgia Southern played in the FCS playoffs.
1. Arkansas State
2. Nevada
3. Middle Tennessee
4. AppSt
5. Idaho
6. Troy
7. Central Florida
8. UConn
9. UMass
10. Western Kentucky
11. Texas State
12. Old Dominion

Fast forward in the Sun Belt- GA Southern plays North Texas, Central Arkansas, New Mexico State, and several other “who cares” universities

---

North Texas moved to CUSA before GS joined the Sun Belt and the two have never played each other. Central Arkansas in still FCS and the last time GS played them was in the FCS playoffs. NMSU is the only team you listed that GS has played since moving to the Sun Belt. As far as drivable games Coastal Carolina, AppSt, Georgia State, and Troy. Also several of the out of conference games scheduled are drivable GaTech, Georgia, Auburn, NC State, UAB.

Hail Southern

Been reading in another of Ya'll threads but as a GS fan did not want to post this in that thread. No LSU will not be on the cover of SI. The only way is if SI did a cover like the below.


I do not believe our game will make the cover of SI like the above game but I do know that the entire week before your game with Texas ESPN Sports Center will be talking about the Big Upset in Baton Rouge on Aug 31. But my guess is that most of you will not even want to watch Sports Center that entire week.

Hey TigerLunatik, you're a smart man and I know why. Your probably wish you could be just like your avatar pic Danny McBride. I'm sure you idolize and look up to old Danny. Interestingly enough, Danny was born in Statesboro, Georgia- home of Georgia Southern. That's great and all, but just think, after next Saturday, you'll be idolizing and looking up to ALL of us in Statesbro.

oldfart check out the Bio. Believes in little green men and his job is to hit bombs.


He will more than likely blame little green men for LSU losing to Georgia Southern.

Tell me, in what years has GSU gone undefeated in regular and post-season? So you're saying your team has never met expectations.
You must live a life of disappointment if that is your expectation.

1989
15-0

Tell me when LSU won 15 games in one year.

quote:

---

One of those expectations is to beat every team you should beat

---

Well there is the difference. Georgia Southern expectations is to beat who ever they play in football. Georgia Southern has been very successful at this.

Also in the Eyes of Georgia Southern fans GS is also an elite program with elite expectations.

A loss and Woodward probably fires Orgeron and makes Aranda the interim coach before the Texas game.

Not our problem since the game is already over and we won.
