This is what the Los Angeles newspapers are reporting on December 3, 2007.

"The Rose Bowl was not allowed to select Georgia because of a rule that protected SEC teams from being selected once LSU went to the BCS title game. Florida was also not an option under that rule, which was passed when Iowa was selected in the 2003 Orange Bowl to play USC, which forced the Rose Bowl to select Oklahoma."

What does loumouthed LSU coach Les Miles think about this? It's obvious that even elite SEC teams do not have the intestinal fortitude to step out on the gridiron with USC on New Year's Day. I would have thought that after all of the disparaging remarks about the Pac 10 made by SEC coaches at the start of the 2007 NCAA football season that they would welcome the opportunity to slug it out with the six-time champions of the Pac 10. Now all of America can see the cowardice of the SEC as plain as day. Too bad Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon tore his ACL; otherwise, the Ducks would have probably administered a beating to LSU. The Fighting Illini have a fine football team, but USC is going to annihilate them on Jan. 1, 2008.
