The only point I see is Les has to go undefeated the rest of this year to keep pace

Looks like Cholly Mac was a great coach.

The way you present that it looks like they had very similar results. Except Miles' win % is almost 5 points higher than McClendon's was - 79.6% vs 75.4.

Also, you didn't account for 4 ties under McClendon.

the extra wins come from playing 12 regular season games a year as opposed to 10. Rent a wins help.

I know we play more games but the misconception is you add more ooc games. No we went from a 6 game sec schedule to 8. So in fact you added two sec games on the schedule. So in some years you basically just added two more ranked teams on your schedule, not adding more rent a wins.

I knew the 10 game people would show up. So there you go guys.

How's this for you, to win a title you have to play a 9th sec game. So in the title years you can add another ranked team to that schedule. Look cholly was a great coach but you guys continue to try to diminish miles and you are just wrong.

And a lot of those losses are coming from playing those extra sec games, like playing UF every. LSU has 3 bcs champions on its schedule every year.

I don't agree with that. We have played the strongest OOC schedule of any other SEC team. Only Florida, Georgia and SC play ranked OOC teams every year. All the west teams play cup cakes. Plus we play Florida every year.

I think CLM has played tougher schedules than Cholly Mac.

that is because it is false

they want to say that we play 12 games instead of 10 now, so that is why Miles has more wins

those 2 extra games are SEC games

we play 8 SEC games a year now while Charlie only played 6
