After awhile...it ceases to be luck and starts to become style.  Nobody said Florida State was lucky with all of their 2nd half comebacks over the years....and yes, LSU has had a lot of 2-minute victories against the Gators, Gamecocks, Tide, Tigers...but it has become a pattern of never giving up.  That is the problem with being an SEC team...the conference is so strong, they just beat each other up and knock each other out of National Title play.

That said, as an under-grad of KU, I am thrilled to see them do so well...when I went to school there, they were a powerhouse in the perennially strong, BIG 8 which is now defunct.  We had guys like Sayers and Hadl...since then, they have had nothing in football...good to see the revival, but, bottom line, their strength of schedule is not all that impressive!
