LSU gets in only because they beat a Georgia team that they already beat once. I'm not so sure LSU could beat Florida or Tennessee. USC shouldn't get punished because they don't have a confrerence title game. If the SEC didn't have one, LSU would be going elsewhere. Thats also why I still like OU in the game, they won their regular season crown like SC did.

LSU's schedule was made the same way, that's why Arizona was on it (signed on in '95 when UA was in the top 10). The 2 IAA teams on their schedule were a result of 2 other IA teams backing out a month before the season started. The Pac 10 always sucks, if USC played in a real conference their SOS would be better.
LSU beat a UGA team that was #5 in the BCS..TWICE! Find that on OU or USC's schedule...you won't. It's funny how no one thought LSU would beat them again but when they do it's looked at as an easy win. Actually LSU lost to #17 Florida, but they'd probably smack around #7 UT (while USC lost to an unranked Cal team and OU to the #10 team). Also, if the SEC didn't have a championship game, LSU would still have won the conference title as well.
I'm sure UM's coach is thanking us all right now. He's not going to have any problem getting his team focused or motivated in practice or to play USC at all, and that's not a good thing for USC.
