You can read enough of this link without paying, to get an idea of what this blathering idiot is going to say.

Didn't LSU run up 40 on Oregon, BAMA 27 on PSU, Arkansas 42 on TAMU?

The guy is a PAC-12 homer. Figures, since his alma mater hasn't done crap in years.

I covered this in another thread:

What the rest of the country needs to recognize is that those high powered offenses only score that many points because they play against Mickey Mouse high school defenses.  Both Alabama and LSU were in the top 15 in points scored per game until they played each other.  Even now they are still both in the top 25.  Oklahoma State is #2 right now in points per game, and Oregon is right behind them at #3.

When Oregon played LSU, that high powered offense was totally shut down.  The Ducks only managed to get 335 yards total in that game.  Alabama got 295 yards against LSU.  They only scored 13 points until those 2 meaningless cosmetic touchdowns in the 4th quarter when the game was already out of reach.

Oregon does have a pretty good offense, but it is only slightly better than Alabama or LSU.  On the other hand, Alabama and LSU both have defenses that are in a league of their own compared to what they play in the Big 12 and PAC 12.

This guy did not do his research. The SEC defenses shut down the offenses from the arena league pass happy, high scoring, no defense conferences. The SEC offenses look pretty good against those defenses.

His first sentence pretty much proves he is an idiot.

Last week, many of you took exception to my argument that an undefeated Boise State Broncos team was deserving of a shot at the BCS title game and capable of beating the SEC's elite teams on a neutral field.
