Respect is earned. What have we done over the last 5 years to earn respect? We held on to a hard headed coach who managed to average 78th in offense. We went into this season loaded with talent and our pre season ranking fairly reflected this. Then our hard headed, over paid, lying head coach pissed away another season w his 1960 offense.

No. Look at recruiting not at some stupid poll.

Lost four games. It was a long shot that we'd earn a Sugar Bowl spot.

The answer is no.

I suspect that there a quite a few teams with better records than we have which are below up or not ranked at all. I think that means that we get a modicum of respect.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse here but it doesn't seem that LSU is respected on a national level.


LSU is respected on sheer talent alone. LSU can field one of the top 5 most talented teams in the country. They've had coaching and quarterback/passing problems in the past that, I feel, makes others skeptical.

In the past 5 seasons, take a look at LSU's out of conference results (Excluding directional, rent a win schools):

quote:

2016
Wisconsin - 16 LSU - 14 LOSS

2015
LSU - 34 Syracuse - 24 WIN
LSU - 56 Texas Tech - 27 WIN

2014
LSU - 28 Wisconsin - 24 WIN
Notre Dame - 31 LSU - 28 LOSS

2013
LSU - 37 TCU - 27 WIN
LSU - 21 Iowa - 14 WIN

2012
LSU - 41 Washington - 3 WIN
Clemson - 25 LSU - 24 LOSS



LSU is 6-3. Lots of close games in there that could have gone either way. It's just different teams than the teams in the 2003-2011 era.

the charge of the top secret playoff committee is to set up games at the end of the year to make the nation happy...has nothing to do with correctly ranking teams based on how good they are.

Until we get a head coach that is respected and feared, LSU will always get the shaft in the polls and with the refs.

We've had talking heads that actually ragged Alleva for not hiring BeBe sooner. I really don't pay much attention to the so called experts anyway.

As for the rankings... there are a few reasons we are out of the top 20...

-The staff is in a huge transition which gives an impression of instability in general.

-No real quality wins

-4 losses


And a huge reason why we are ranked below a few other 4 loss teams is that we have one less win than they do. It matters.

Its almost as if some of you are just recognizing that we are a Tier 2 program.

We are.

Know your place.

And our AD just cemented that.

ETA: I understand that a significant portion of our fan base has difficulty reading, so let me say that this is in no way, shape, or form related to our recent coaching hire. I'm simply asking if LSU's brand seems to have lost respect with the media post 2011


We were Tier 2 pre-2011 thus the reason why we had to "rematch" after winning the "Game of the Century".
