    "LSU does not stay on the same field with the following teams (neutral sites):

    USC, OU, Auburn, California, Texas or Georgia.

    We would also have an extremely hard time beating Utah, Louisville, Miami, Michigan or Iowa.

    Even matches would be Boise St., FSU, Tennessee, Va. Tech, Arizona State, Texas A&M, Virginia and W. Virginia."........Islstl

    I happen to believe we could hang with all those teams. The games are played on the field. Look what happened with Auburn. Sure UGA kicked our a$$ but you can't go by #'s alone.

    nice arbitrary order of teams listed. just so happens USC was listed first and each team could kick our ass.

    perspective....? from a calculator only.

    Frankly, it should be OU and Auburn. But if Auburn gets left out, I will be pleased. Then it's me pulling for the Sooners, about whom I am indifferent, against USC and the horde of media with their heads stuck so far up Pete Carroll's ass they can tell us what he had for breakfast.

    Any system that doesn't include strength of schedule as a major component is a total farce. :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

    Correct, who you beat, and by how much (with a cap). How can that not be right? Not what some biased for what ever reason coach thinks. **** the coaches poll. Should'nt even be one.
    The more they tweak it, the more ****ed up it gets. It takes something away from the game to me. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    SOS is actually what is hurting the War Eagles more than anything else as all of the bCS polls still have it as one of their components, it's just not a stand alone component any more. Them having to pick up the Citadel at the last moment due to I think Bowling Green or some team like that backing out has screwed them up big time. They would have like the number 15 schedule if they hadn't had to play Citadel.

    SOS has been reduced to a one very small component of 1/3 of the total. Which means it has a very very reduced effect on the total BCS ranking over last season when in fact SOS combined with win/loss record should be the largest component period. All you have to do is look at USC's BCS ranking to know that strength of schedule has all but been eliminated and we all know why. This new BCS formula requires most teams to not only win the battle on the field but to also battle the biased media as well. The BCS was poor last year and is total garbage this year, you can not remove strength of schedule and remain legitimate.:dis: :dis: :dis: :dis: :dis: :dis: :dis: :dis: :dis:
