georgia are real national champs

UGA is simply unlucky that they are stuck in the same conference as LSU...while USC is lucky they're not. Had LSU been in the Pac-10 instead of the SEC, UGA would only have one loss, not three. Meanwhile, USC would have had to play LSU twice and have three losses, not one. Simple, eh?

However, since USC and LSU are currently being claimed as co-champs, and in their common opponent games, LSU beat Auburn by 24 while USC beat Auburn by 23, and LSU beat Arizona by 46 while USC beat them by 45, you can see that the two teams are dead-even. It thus stands to reason that if they played twice, each one would win one game...giving LSU two losses, and USC two losses. That leaves UGA standing alone with one loss, so actually, they should be national champs alone, not sharing it as co-anything.

Umm... as many of the critics of USC and the Pac-10 have pointed out, there is no conference championship game in the Pac-10. Ditto the Big Ten.

If both conferences grew to 12 schools, there might be reason to split the conferences into geographic divisions and then have a championship game. If the Pac-10 added Nevada and UNLV (just as an example), we could have the Washington, Oregon and NorCal schools be the "Pac-12 North" and the Nevada, SoCal and Arizona schools be the "Pac-12 South."

But until then... not having a conference final is fine by me.

You know, I am as red and black as any Georgia Dawg alum, however, this is rediculous. LSU deserves to be the national champ. They cleaned our clocks in the title game. No amount of sophistry on your part will change the fact that LSU is plain better than us this year.

This makes as much sense as Fat Phil Fulmer knowing how to coach.
