Yep; no need to even play out the season. Do the whole season on paper. I swear college football fans from the big schools are the sorest losers of all time. I shed tears of joy when they lose to the little guys.

Ark is not one of the little guys. They have the best player in the country but a moron for a coach

LSU fan here. Honestly, we deserved to lose this game. There were several blown plays, but how do you NOT blitz Casey Dick on 4th and 10??? We have squeaked by all season long, and the injuries and poor coaching have caught up to us. I won't argue that we deserve anything. We don't...

Oh well, maybe we can win the SEC at least. In the meantime, I'll cheer for a Kansas vs W. Va. MNC. :)

We deserve to lose. We screwed up so many times and squeaked by too many close games with all the talents and skills on the team.

Oh well, hopefully LSU will rebound and win next week and go to a BCS bowl.

NCC = KU vs. HI? LOL...that would be something.

That whole backfield of Arkansas' is full of studs. Even the QB made solid plays when he needed to. And how about that D call by Ark. on the last play... bring everyone and force the QB to make a quick read. For whoever says Ark had questionable coaching this year they have to agree with that call.

SEC champion should just play in the national title game every year no matter what, BCS such crap.

EDIT: clearly all this proves is that the way to get into the title game is to play the most cupcake schedule possible, look at the teams who are going to make it into the NC game, they all played way easier schedules than LSU and will get the reward for being in their cupcake conferences.

Here's why you're an idiot in 1 easy step. If LSU couldn't beat an unranked opponent, they don't deserve to be in the NC game. Is that clear enough or are you such a rabid myopic fanboy that you don't understand the logic here?

LSU's been living dangerously all year. With the talent and depth they have they should be lighting people up week in and week out. Unfortunately for them they're very poorly coached and play stupid, undisciplined football. Sucks for you LSU fan. But look on the bright side, you'll be getting rid of Les Miles after this season. Hmmm, but you will lose 25 seniors too...

Edit: Btw, for the record.... that game was incredible. I watched the whole thing at work and it's probably the best game I've seen this season.

No shit LSU doesn't belong in the title game, I never said they did, in fact i explicitly said they DIDN'T. There is a difference between WANTING them in the game and thinking they deserve to be there which some people here do not seem to get. That being said, I don't think that WVU or Kansas are any better. I am not advocating a system where we just pick the best teams out of our asses, that is exactly what I am arguing against, teams should play each other to prove who is better, not be picked by some committee.

How am I supposed to get "No shit LSU doesn't belong in the title game" out of;

LSU could beat any other team in the country

and

SEC champion should just play in the national title game every year no matter what

LSU lost to a team (2 teams actually) that they had no business losing to with the talent they have. If you agree that they don't deserve the NC appearance then why are you complaining?

Holy crap, just saw the score.

On the plus side, if we get a couple more similar events on the conference champsionship games this is going to cause such a screwed up BCS we can only hope it implodes.

a few thoughts -

yes, the SEC is a great football conference, but lets be realistic - LSU is very talented, but I just don't see the 'freakish SEC speed' when I watch them - they ran their QB 10 times, and he's no running QB - their leading rusher is certainly one of the slower RB's of any top 40 team, and their starting safety looks like he runs at MAC conference speed - I love their LB's, and their D line ( though I've seen about 10 really stupid penalties on their DE's this year, late hits and such) - honestly, other than that return guy who is a track star, I'm not seeing a ton of team speed - Florida's team last year looked much faster than this team. Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Tenn, Ark - these are all very good teams, but I'm not sure they are heads and shoulders above other teams.

Why did Arkansas run a crap set of plays when they got the ball back in regulation? 49 seconds, ball near midfield, 1 timeout, and they basically did nothing - could have won the game with 15-20 yards and a FG, and avoided the overtime - good game to watch though.

I would love to see USC play LSU or Florida in a bowl game this year btw.

Before everyone piles on with the "West Virginia doesn't belong in the title game' stuff - remember they beat up Georgia in a bowl game last year.

I think Missouri is going to beat Kansas, then lose to Oklahoma (again), and we will be looking at W.Virginia vs Ohio State for the championship game - I don't think those are the two best teams in the country, but the system is what it is.

Wow that was a good game. This could be the best College Football season ever overall. Very refreshing after 5+ years of undefeated teams. Will there ever be a season with more upsets than this season? I gotta think not.

West Virginia beat 9-4 Georgia Tech by 3 points last year in a game they were expected to win handily.
The year before, they beat Georgia by jumping out to a big early lead and then barely holding on for the win (by 3 points).

Actually it was UGA that jumped out to the early lead but couldn't hold on. Speaking of who... I'm picking them to win the SEC after UT drops a game to Kentucky.

But yeah, if you're from the state of Georgia you're not liking WVU that much. Don't blame you, I can't stand em either.

:confused: But it's true... It's a little easier to put up points in OT when you practically start in the red zone.

ESPN disagrees with you. WVU was up 28-0 part way through the second quarter.

How does a game 2 years ago have any bearing whatsoever on this year???

LSU is one of the most undisciplined teams in the country. They never did deserve to be in the MNC game.
