A BCS First As '06 Champ Faces '07 Champ
LSU's game against Florida on Saturday will be a BCS first as it will mark the first time that two teams who have won the previous two BCS National Championships will meet. Florida won the BCS national title in 2006, while LSU claimed the title in 2007. Since the inception of the BCS in 1998, no two teams who have combined to win the two previous BCS national titles have ever met on the football field. As a matter of fact, the last time that the two previous national champions squared off came in 1990 when Notre Dame (1988 champ) beat Miami (1989 champ), 29-20 in South Bend. The LSU-Florida game will mark the 10th time in the history of college football that the last two national champions will meet the following year.

When the last 2 champions meet, the "home" team is 7-0 straight up.

Miles' 38 Wins In First 44 Games Ranks First In SEC History
Les Miles' list of achievements at LSU is both lengthy and impressive. However, perhaps the most impressive item on his list of accomplishments is the fact that he ranks first in SEC history for wins after 44 games with 38. Miles' 38 wins puts him ahead of such names as Mark Richt (35), Steve Spurrier (34) and Bernie Moore (33). The following is a quick look at some of Miles' highlights during his four years with the Tigers:
Only coach in LSU history to beat Auburn, Florida and Alabama in same season - and he's done it twice
Only first-year coach in SEC history to lead team to league's title game
Has 6 wins over coaches who have won national titles
Coached LSU to 10-plus wins in three straight seasons - a first at the school
Only coach in LSU history to lead Tigers to three straight top five final rankings


LSU's Best After Dark - Tigers Have Won 19 Straight Night Games
Night games in Tiger Stadium seem to bring out the best in LSU. However, lately LSU has been at its best no matter the location just as long as it dark outside. LSU goes into the Florida game having won 19 straight night games. The 19 straight wins at night (note: NCAA determines that a kickoff at 5 p.m. or later is a night game) includes three games this year, seven games in 2007, eight in 2006 and the win over Miami in the Peach Bowl to cap the 2005 season. LSU hasn't lost a night game since a 34-14 loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game in 2005. Overall, LSU coach Les Miles has guided the Tigers to a 25-2 mark in night games, which includes a 4-0 mark in road night games.

Another Top 10 Road Win For Miles and LSU
LSU ran its record in road games against top 10 teams to 4-2 under Les Miles with the win over Auburn on Sept. 20. LSU's top 10 road wins since the start of the 2005 season have come against Alabama (2005), Tennessee (2006), Arkansas (2006) and Auburn (2007).

Miles Is 21-5 In SEC Regular Season Games

LSU coach Les Miles improved his record in SEC regular season games to 21-5 following the win over Auburn. Miles was 7-1 in 2005 in conference games followed by a 6-2 record in both 2006 and 2007. Miles is 9-3 in SEC road games and 12-2 in league games played in Tiger Stadium. Counting the SEC Championship Game, Miles has posted 22 wins over SEC foes during his three years with the Tigers.

Miles Is 8-3 Against Top 10 Teams As LSU's Coach; He's 15-5 In Top
25 Games

Les Miles has an 8-3 record against top 10 teams as LSU's head coach and he's 15-5 against top 25 teams. Miles and the Tigers won a school-record seven games against top 25 teams a year ago, which included a perfect 3-0 mark against top 10 foes. LSU has won six straight games against top 10 ranked teams dating back to the 2006 season.

LSU hasnt won in the swamp since 2004 and UF is 4-1 ATS When playing LSU and 4-2 ATS when playing LSU at home. Just a little food for thought. The home team usually wins this game IMO.

WTF Sort Of Statement Is "they haven't won @ the swamp since 2004"?

LSU hasnt won in the swamp since 2004 and UF is 4-1 ATS When playing LSU and 4-2 ATS when playing LSU at home. Just a little food for thought. The home team usually wins this game IMO.

While technicaly correct, you forgot to mention they've ONLY played there twice. And won once. 2004 thru 2007 4 yrs, LSU @ Fl 1-1 SU & ATS, @ LSU Tigers 2-0 SU & 0-2 ATS. In 4 yrs LSU 3-1 SU, FL 3-1 ATS. It opened 4 @ BM, just went to 6. BOL to all.

They have played a home and home since 1998. UF is 6-4 since that time.

I'm leaning toward UF... but I'm more interested in your avatar >:\ lol gimme gimme

LOL .....its so nice I wish I knew who these pirate hookers were. I would love to be there "GATOR BAIT"!!

 

[TOOTIGHT]

Last ten times the two previous national champs went head to head the visiting team has went something like 8-1-1. Not the best stat to cap with but worth knowing none the less. I read it in the Orlando Sentinal.

 

[ONA$$MISSION]

Line Moved to 6.5

I do not understand this line. My book just moved to FL -6.5. What is going on?:think2:

SMACKDOWN.

 

[MajorGCG]

How is no one talking about LSU having a bye week this week?

I too was all set to lay it all on LSU +6 until Francois opened his mouth. Now I expect UF to play better than they have all year. Not to mention, UFs O gives LSU problems. The Gators more than held their own last year in BR and they cannot lose another game. I just won't play this game.

 

[CoachCB]

Major, I'm not playing this one either. I am totally confused why UF is such a heavy favorite (I say "heavy" because in a game like this 6 points is a ton!).....

I see this one being a basic mismatch in LSU's favor. the Tigers have the better line on both sides of the ball, the better rushing game and the better defense......and they are GETTING points on top of all that. I think you'll see LSU rush for a ton of yards and keep the ball away from UF. Florida won't sustain long drives on LSU, but I do think they'll hit several big plays for some scores.

I think UF rolls in this one. Sorry to go against you but UF has a shit load of talent and tghis might be the game they put it all together and fuck LSU up. We will see at 8pm Saturday.

No sorry, LSU does not have a better defense. The LSU secondary can't cover anyone and if Tebow gets time to throw, he will pick it apart all day.

Auburn totally exposed you and miss state moved the ball as well, I like LSU's d-line but that's about it.

 

[pleasewin]

your argument here is not valid

Its always a good game when these 2 teams match up. I just done see LSU coming into the Swamp and beating this team. FL has looked like shit all year. At some point they are going to put it all together and come out of their shit hole and fuck somebody up. This may be the game that FL puts everything together and Tebow becomes Superman again. We will see at 8pm on Saturday.

soley based on your avatar. its not possible for you to look at this game rationally simply because your a gator fan. nice asses though.

LSU's defense is better than Florida's...that is fact. Uf has a good bunch of athletes too, but LSU's defense is better and has been better for years.

Auburn's offense scored 13 points against LSU. How do you consider that "exposing" them? That's like me saying Ole Miss exposed the gators because they hung 31 on them. And, don't point to games like Miss. state. Everyone knows LSU sleep-walked through that game because of their consistent dominance over that opponent. They never blitzed one time and ran a base package all night....because they could do it and win easily.

How can you say LSU's defense can't cover anyone? You haven't seen them PLAY anyone but Auburn and they covered them pretty well.

Hey, I know you love the Gators and think Tebow can win the game all by himself, so let's just agree to disagree.

You are right at this time LSU's defense is better. One of the main reasons for that is UF is very young on defense and with youth comes inexperience and mistakes. You cant teach experience, it comes with playing and on the job training. UF's defense has come a lot farther faster than I though they would, but they are still not there. The only staple point of UF's defense with experience and knowledge is LB. All other positions on defense are being played by True Freshman, sophomores, and very few juniors.

LSUpete Youve been on here a while and I am just giving you a hard time...hahah It will be a good game and we will see what happens.

No problem at all!

You know I'll wager against LSU all day long if I see an advantage. But, in this game I see that soft D-line of Florida and compare that to LSU's rushing stats....and love getting points. I also see Tebow having a tough time this season. Call it whatever you want, but all of us in Florida have seen the same thing. I would love to have him, but he isn't going to win this game all by himself.

It is going to be the best game in the SEC this year and I'll be there. How about you?
