LSU 8-3-1, UA 12-0

In terms of moral victories, clearly Alabama is more deserving than LSU to be in the title game. The record speaks for itself:

LSU vs. Oregon (40-27) L
"Those are self-inflicted wounds," coach Chip Kelly said. "The drops, the turnovers and the penalties are the things that really killed us. Against a team like that, you're not going to win the game."
LSU was outgained 335-273

LSU vs. NW St. (49-3) W

LSU vs. Miss St. (19-6) W

LSU vs. West Virginia (47-21) L
"We got down early and we came out in the second half and fought to the end," Smith said. "We learned that if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot, we can pretty much play with anybody." Smith broke Mark Bulger's school records of 34 completions and 429 passing yards set against Missouri in the 1998 Insight.com Bowl.
LSU was outgained 533-336

LSU vs. UK (35-7) W

LSU vs. UF (41-11) Tie
"I wouldn't say we are getting overpowered," Gators defensive end Sharif Floyd said. "It's blown coverages and mistakes by us as a whole. We have to get more focused."
LSU outgained UF 453-213

LSU vs. Tenn (38-7) W

LSU vs. AU (45-10) W

LSU vs. UA (9-6) L
"It's a difficult pill to swallow," said receiver Marquis Maze, who was hobbled by a leg injury and wound up at the center of two key miscues in the fourth quarter. "If everybody executes in the red area, that wasn't even a close game. The defense played outstanding."
LSU was outgained 295-239.

LSU vs. WKy (42-9) W

LSU vs. Ole Miss (52-3) W
