| Could somebody explain this to Les Miles?
Apparently he thinks SEC East games are non-conference games. Quote:
MILES' TITLE FORMULA: LSU coach Les Miles brought up an interesting argument about how the SEC divisional champions are crowned.
"I still want to figure out how in the West we have one loss and Arkansas has one in the West, and we beat them and we're not the West champions," he said.
Against West teams, LSU finished 4-1 and Arkansas finished 4-1. LSU would then win the tiebreaker because it beat Arkansas. Unfortunately, that's not how it's done. Against the entire SEC schedule, LSU finished 6-2 and Arkansas 7-1. But Arkansas did not have to play Florida. The teams on Arkansas' schedule that LSU did not play were South Carolina and Vanderbilt. The teams on LSU's schedule that Arkansas did not play were Kentucky and FLORIDA.
"I don't think Arkansas played Florida," Miles said sarcastically. "Did they play Florida?"
Miles also figured a way LSU should have won the overall SEC title last year. The Tigers finished 7-1 in the SEC and won the tiebreaker over 7-1 Auburn because it beat Auburn. SEC East champion Georgia finished 6-2.
"We would've won it last year without the SEC championship game," he said. "They ought to drop the championship game."
Georgia ripped LSU 34-14 in the SEC championship game last season.
| I guess he forgot that Auburn also only has one loss in the West and they beat LSU!

| Im sure he's happy since he's going to the Rose Bowl against Mich. Must be nice to be in a BCS bowl and play in a game that matters on a national scale....when's the last time we did that? |

| Can't we at least make fun of the idiocy of opposing coaches without getting into this?

| Don't worry guys. It appears that Miles' biggest objection is that Arkansas hasn't played Florida. Problem solved this weekend!
There sure are a lot of whiney coaches these days. | |

| Les Miles is an a$$clown.
He reminds me of a second-tier milquetoast actor trying to be a tough football coach...
Kind of a John Tesh or Corbin Bernsen... maybe even Lorenzo Lamas, except with a WAY bigger hat.

| I guess all those years in the Big 12 conference didn't help him figure out the way that the division champions are crowned since his team was never in contention. | |

| The moment he came out with the Madonna headset I knew I would have fun with him until he got fired.
He belongs in the delusionally arrogant crowd that create their own illusion of reality and then are arrogant about their own created significance.
Someone else near and dear to a lot of us has been guilty of that same thing. | |
