and bama was very close to losing to lsu and tenn and auburn....but they didn't. Also, I don't see seven games they were close to losing. they only won 9 games, and i know for a fact they were comfortably ahead of washington, tulane, auburn, ULL and Vandy. Yes they were close against tech, but that game was not in doubt at the end. Also, they were close against State and didn't lose, as they were georgia and arkansas. To me that is four games they won that they could have lost, and there were 4 games they lost that they could have won.

Any team worth their salt will have roughly 6 close games throughtout the year that are decided in the final minutes. Whether they end up as W's or L's is a fine line, but with QB being arguably the weakest link on the field, I would have to bet that LSU loses more of those close games than they win.

My personal opinion is that LSU has become too predicatble (partly through coaching, and partly do to shotty QB play). My hope is that QB production will solve this problem. If SEC coaches see that QB production has not improved from last year, I think most of those close games will not go LSU's way this year. Again, nobody hopes I'm wrong more than me.
