Interesting how the LSU fans are junping down USCs throat in this thread...
I never said LSU doesn't belong in the game. I personally think it should be LSU-USC. A case can be made for each of the 3 1 loss teams being in the Sugar Bowl. As a USC fan, I was simply stating WHY I though we should be there instead of Oklahoma and why I don't think our schedule is all that much weaker than LSU's. LSU did not pass us in SOS until Boise State beat Hawaii. That is the very last game of the very last day of the regular season for college football, so I think LSU beating their chests about how hard their schedule is is a bit overblown. Yes you played some great teams and beat them, that is why you are one of the 3 best teams in the country right now and playing for a share of the national championship.
And, LSU played one more game than us, and that one more game helped their case for SOS. Had season ended for them w/o SEC champ game--they would not have passed us. You needed the Georgia win and a loss by at least one of our 2 past opponents on Saturday to beat us. Put in the mathmatical equation of the BCS--that means our SOS's are relatively even.
In my eyes, if anyone was going to not be in the game it is Oklahoma, soley because they lost that last game. And there are arguments against my argument as well.
Just interesting to me how many people are biased against USC. And for what reason? Tradition? Money? Location? Attitude? I've been trying to figure it out since 1987. lol
