I'd take a closer look at those rosters if I were you. Tennessee was good - and I'd be delighted if Tennessee were that good today - but they were not as talented as Miami.

Hey whaddayaknow, another topic that's been derailed.

On paper that 2001 Miami team was much better than Tennessee, but then again, the same thing could be said about 2003.

Last I checked, Brock Berlin was Miami's QB in 2003 and Jarrett Payton was their starting RB.

Last I checked, my statement still holds true. Road wins hold a lot of weight, right? :p

I'm just saying, anything can happen, that's why they play the games. That Tennessee team was playing well down the stretch. Just ask Florida and Michigan.

not that the list needs any further evidence, but I couldn't help but notice that Vernon Carey was left off.

What would LSU say if I asked them?

Depends on whether you asked them in September or in December. They won the big one and that's all that matters, but they did have a little bit of help getting to play us for a second time.

That would say they were lucky Casey Clausen and company were walking around Tom Black Track with Roses in their mouth after beating Florida, completely looking past the SECC.

Well, since Freak was waxing poetic about how well Tennessee was playing down the stretch, I assume I'd ask them in December.

Waxing poetic? Funny. And yet I still stand by my statement.

You know as well as I do that it's difficult to beat a team twice in the same season.

I guess they were walking around the track the night before they lost to a thoroughly average Georgia team at home. Never has a team been so exalted for accomplshing so little as the 2001 Tennessee team. You're talking about how well they played down the stretch, they had to come from about 50 points behind to beat an awful Kentucky team.

I hear that all the time. I wonder if there is any evidence to support that...

Seems to me that, if you beat a team once, you ought to be able to do it again. Generally, not always, when you beat a team, it's because you're better.

I'm not talking about how well they played down the stretch, I am talking about how well they played against Florida and Michigan.

If teams play each other twice in the same season,it's because both of them are pretty good. That's why you don't see sweeps. I'm pretty sure LSU would have beaten Tulane again if there had been a second matchup this year.

Hmm. So emotion plays no role in college football and the better team always wins? Interesting.
