Auburn, Ole Miss and Arkansas
why do people bitch about these games?
Auburn we have won at how many times now since 2000? I think twice, 2008 and 2012. We lost in Saban's first year in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2010. If Mett doesn't fumble, that game isn't as close as it is.
Ole Miss. Again, we have not beaten them at home by more than 7 since 95. We have had better teams and they have had worse.
Arkansas. We were 2-3 against them the last 5 years. This is always a tough game. I would like to see the game moved to Saturday. Not sure that will make much of a difference. Just my $.02.

"why do people bitch about these games?"
I am very pleased with the Tigers' season, and I really don't give a rip about which "place" bowl we get because there is a lot of fluff in how bowl teams are selected. However, it is perfectly easy to see why LSU fans are unhappy about how the team played against Ole Miss, Arky, and Auburn. Because, to varying degrees, the team played poorly! You don't have to be a "nega-Tiger" to see that or to hope the team can play more consistently or finish games better.
As has been discussed on here before, this season is a lot like the 2006 season. As in 2006, the team went 2-2 in the four marquee games on the schedule and with just a little better play or luck in one game, could have been playing for it all. One difference, though, is that the 2006 team seldom let down (maybe once?) against an inferior opponent. This team did it regularly but still prevailed.
