true

thatz wat i have been saying all along

i just find it weird ppl still insisit LSU wud not just beat USC but SPANK them

nah... i dont see that as a realistic possibility unless USC was hungover or grossly underestimated LSU... LSU doesn't really outright spank the really good teams, but thats not to say they dont dominate them on the field (after all theres much more to a game than a score often tells) as evidenced in the Sugar Bowl IMO

bahh, you just changed my perception of LSU fans on ATOT :D

altho i have to say LSU players have been very nice about this whole controversy, reading in teh media prio to the Sugar Bowl, OU players have been total arrogant pricks, well served them right to get owned in that game

Ok, have some free time from nightshift and let me say this. I said this before in a previous thread and I will say it again. ALL schools (Div 1A) and Conferences agreed at begin of the season about the BCS format and rules (#1 and # 2). So now let stay with the rules for this year. IF any changes, let do it next year. You can't just change rules in the middle of the game if you don't like them.

I didn't see anyone said anything about the BCS rules ****BEFORE ***** OU got beat by KSU. LSU was behind OU and USC then. Why suddendly all the commotions about BCS sucked this and sucked that?

I have no doubt that USC is a good football team. Would that better if I say LSU won gold medal, USC won silver, OU won bronze?

We can all sit here and argue back and forth and bring out every single stats and links and data and **Experts opinion** to back up our team but the truth is Rules are rules and when you agreed with the rules, you will have to live with the consequences.

You want to really know who would LIKELY win between LSU and USC? Don't read this thread, just go ask the top 20 bookies in the country. Whatever their majority vote is, thats very likely the correct answer.
