Louisana-Lafayette?), those other games really don't factor in my opinion. Later in the season, after they've played meatier opponents (Oklahoma, Florida), the importance of OSU-Texas and LSU-Auburn will diminish. But right now, they're really all we got. And LSU looked a lot more impressive versus Auburn than Texas did against OSU.<BR/><BR/>Also, there's no way Auburn should jump to #1. Their defense totally fell apart in the final quarter. Either that's a lack of conditioning or poor coaching, but either of those make the team vulnerable.Christian Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552580025935909875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158499289931317282006-09-17T09:21:00.000-04:002006-09-17T09:21:00.000-04:00I think that some of you are making a really good ...I think that some of you are making a really good case for putting LSU over Texas, based on the <B>"strength of the loss"</B>: <BR/><BR/>Barely losing on the road against the No. 2 team in the country vs. not even close to winning at home against the No. 1 team.<BR/><BR/>Here's a question: If played on a neutral field, who would win between Texas and LSU?

Yes, UT lost to a #1, but they lost easily and at home. LSU lost to the proposed #2 on the road in a game where it could be claimed they got jobbed hard. In short, LSU looked better in defeat, and I would choose LSU over Texas in any matchup right now (including in Austin).<BR/><BR/>My Top 10:<BR/>Ohio State<BR/>Auburn<BR/>USC<BR/>Florida<BR/>West Virginia<BR/>Michigan<BR/>LSU<BR/>Georgia<BR/>Texas<BR/>OregonChristian Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552580025935909875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158479918568348652006-09-17T03:58:00.000-04:002006-09-17T03:58:00.000-04:00You can all thank Michigan for putting an end to b...You can all thank Michigan for putting an end to both Quinn's Heisman Trophy and ND's Championship campaigns. Sure, those would have gone away if they lost in a similar fashion later on, but did you really want to wait that long?

(Ducks over Sooners)<BR/><BR/>Sooners got jobbed, PAC 10 style, and now as a resident of the left coast I will never hear the end of The DUcks winning, despite the bad calls.<BR/><BR/>Now this has a little left over for me. I won Holiday Bowl tickets last year and sat on the dividing line between the Duck/Sooner sections in San Diego. Sooner fans were professional and polite, Duck fans acted like it was their first time out of the state.<BR/><BR/>Based on the actions of their fans, I have the feeling this win over the Sooners will make the Ducks fans think they should be ranked #1, and we wont hear the end of it.Qwagmirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731147733122184694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158470934120968932006-09-17T01:28:00.000-04:002006-09-17T01:28:00.000-04:001.
