Here you go, LSU #5 in all of NCAA and tops in SEC. [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_schools_with_the_most_national_championships]List of NCAA Division I schools with the most national championships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
LSU leads the SEC with 42 NCAA championships. The NCAA does not award a championship in Division I football. Bama has 5 NCAA championships. http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/champs_records_book/summaries/combined.pdf
Dude is a tool. He wouldn't dare list the results of the actual OOC games that SEC teams played, so he has to resort to statistical histrionics to justify that his favorite team or conference sucks less. How many ranked OOC schools did LSU alone beat this season? The term "BCS-Caliber team" allows him to be highly subjective in downgrading SEC opponents while upgrading opponents of any other conference. He states that "only 76.6% of of all SEC games - including all SEC conference games - were against BCS or BCS-caliber opponents" without providing that same statistic for any other conference. The solution is easy...have the other conferences play OOC games against the SEC and see how they do. I'm guessing the argument would then change to "76.6% of the losses to SEC teams were by 14 points or less".
JUST MIKE SPORTS: THE FACADE THAT IS THE SEC Mentioned is the SEC's 8 and the PAC's 9, game conference schedules. The link also clearly shows the SEC plays many more easy ooc opponents than the PAC does. This puts the Pacific 12 at a perceived disadvantage. The thing is,.. If they could make it work, the PAC would schedule the same way as the SEC does, but playing that many crappy games won't work out West. My conference can't fill their stadiums when playing against 3rd rate opponents. Oregon does, and Washington can,.. but that's about it. The PAC needs that extra conference game to pay the bills. We don't wanta play 9, we gotta. So, the common PAC complaint, about the SEC's soft schedule making things unfair,.. is just whining. I want more good games to watch. So, I think playing against the lower division should not be allowed. And a 9 game conference schedule should be the rule, maybe even consider 10. But, that's just me.
The lack of uniformity is an ongoing problem in the BCS era. All teams should play a 9 game schedule. (with the sec going to 14 teams, that should be soon) Stop the split divisions in all conferences, now. Each conference will have a one game playoff between the two best teams, record wise. (watching UCLA have a shot at the title over Standford was embarrassing) There have been many more examples. Each conference champion will be seated according to ranking and will proceed to 8 team BCS bash for round two. Now, we are all even.
