I guess A&M and USCe are no good also since LSU beat them. I guess Bama is so so since LSU out played them but got beat in the final minute. Sure.

USC.....never. LSU I said would be. That was before they lost 8 starters do to injuries and before Mathieu was kicked off. "If" it wasnt for that, they prob would of been there. But, stuff like that happens.

Do you really want to compare 3 losses vs 5 losses? And closeness of games? You guys play in the B10, ROGL.

A loss is a loss, who gives a shit when or how it happened. If you would have crushed Clemson you would have touted how LSU is so great and the ACC is so weak, but since you lost it's not so bad because Clemson was 11th.

3 losses is 3 losses. LSU wasn't very good and their offense was terrible.

Stop your crying. Next year is another year.

No, I am comparing their rankings for losing the games. What does B1G have to do with it? I'm fairly certain Bama, ND and SC don't play in the B1G.

WHEN you lose does have something to do with it most times. If you are a top team and you lose early then you have a better chance to move back up. Of course there are exceptions like a few years ago when I think LSU loss late and still got into the champ game with two losses.


Looking at the schedule next year.....Alabama plays A&M in their second game. They could lose that game, win out and have a better chance at the NC game then if they lost very late in the year.

I agree completely. I was referring to LSU losing to Clemson in the final seconds when using the word "when."
