I'm willing to concede that Alabama has superior talent to us.

Most LSU fans, however, need to pick a side. Either we have the same level of talent as Alabama, in which case our expectations shouldn't be "2-3 losses per year (especially this year)". Or, we don't have the same level of talent, in which case, feel free to dejectedly predict 2-3 losses per year for the foreseeable future.

That't not what you previously said, but glad you are coming to your senses.

I don't think it has to be either scenario. 2-3 losses a season are pretty standard for any college football upper level team, along with a season every 3-5 years with 0 or 1 losses where you are competing for a national championship.

Last year 7 teams went into the bowls with less than 2 losses. Of those teams, UCF played a joke schedule, as did Ohio St and Baylor.

While at LSU, Les would have had us in the final 4 in about 3 of his 9 seasons. That is very good and means he is on par with my reasonable expectations.

Bama is on an unbelievable run right now, which is very rare. Nobody can compare to them currently.
