The stats take consistency into consideration. Look at auburn and ole miss's drop offs after big years. Considering we never experienced anything like them, statistically yes, we would be in contention for number 2. Woo.

We were also the 6th ranked team if you look at peak S&P+ over that 5 year span.

What does that tell you? As another poster pointed out, we've been consistently average. No excuses for that with the talent we've had and there's certainly no excuse for 5 teams to have better "best seasons" than us in the last 5 years.

Well, considering the best team over that same period plays in the same division, it kind of disqualified LSU from making it to any championship games.

According to this LSU finished:

2012- 6th
2013- 7th
2014- 7th
2015- 3rd
2016- 2nd

So saying this rounds to 2nd is fricking stupid.

It's an average of the S&P rating, dumbass. Not the placing.

So, Auburn gets 19 in 2016 and LSU gets 22 but Auburn goes to the Sugar Bowl, beat LSU head to head and is ranked higher than LSU?

Stats are for losers.

And this is as misleading as it gets.

I'm sure Alleva and O are overjoyed with you contributing to lowering the bar of expectations.

You are a real piece of work. You never stop. You are like a little kid still throwing a tantrum. What the hell does any team have to show for it, that isn't named bama?

And on a neutral field Lsu would be a several point favorite, and Vegas still has Lsu favored over every team except bama and Ohio state. Lsu played more consistently throughout the year than auburn, they just happened to lose at auburn on a controversial last second play, with miles as coach

You are wasting your time trying to reason with 18 year old kids that have no clue.

I understand you can add the scoring and make it average 2nd but to think finishing 6,7,7,3,2 says you're the 2nd best team is laughable.

Huh?

You can't say that as a blanket statement without knowing where the other teams finished.
