"You are what your record says you are"

Bill Parcell's response when he was coaching the Dallas Cowboys when was asked if his team was really an 8-3 team instead of its actual record of 5-6. The point is this LSU team, as shameful and frustrating as it is, has a record of 8-4 and is an 8-4 team. Anyone who thinks differently needs to get over it!

Someone inform the 2011 New York Giants that their 9-7 record & Wild Card birth makes their Super Bowl Championship null & void since the 49ers, Packers, Saints & Falcons had better records in the NFC that year.

would have won 9, if the florida debacle didn't frick them out of playing south Alabama.

Ok cool. Season is over. So actually we are 0-0 and have a bright future. You are what you are.... A mouth breather

In 2011 the Giants made it to the playoff and then they won and won big!

In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades they would be 12-0

I agree 100%.

Well - this is true to a large degree, but somewhat misleading for LSU this season. You can play the "what if" game forever with football, but LSU is identifiably 3 or 4 specific plays from being a 1 loss team this year. That's not conjecture - that's literal fact.
Agreed.

That is usually the case, but in this case, I completely disagree.
This team was completely mismanaged by coaching in at least 3 games. The talent on the team is MUCH better than 8-4. This is a 10-2 type team, at the very least, and nothing that Parcels says will make me think otherwise.
Sorry.

Last I checked, coaches are part of a team. What you are arguing is talent and potential, which is much different than team.

On the opposite end of the spectrum the 2010 Atlanta Falcons were the biggest fraud team I can recall having the best record & Home field advantage throughout the playoffs. That had two lucky wins as to where had they lost, they would not have been the #1 seed in the NFC.
Garrett Hartley missed a chip shot game winner allowing the Falcons to win later in OT.
And 49ers CB Nate Clements had what looked like a game sealing pick until he tried to run it back for a TD & was stripped by Roddy White.
Roddy White strip of Nate Clements
It only took the Falcons first playoff game to show how big of a freud they actually were.
Falcons 21 Packers 48
Packers expose fraud Falcons
I guess no one paid attention to Ohio St this year either. Everyone just looked at their record while having Urban Meyer as coach & assumed they belonged in the playoffs this year but they managed somehow to navigate the Big 10 with a weak arse passing game. Still waiting for them to score against Clemson.

What made you feel the need to post this? I'm pretty sure no one is saying we're #1.

Yep, it's not like there isn't College Football Playoff now & we just didn't witness a team that wasn't as good as their record indicated, get annihilated in a semifinal game either.

Normally, in a typical college football season, I would fully agree. However, this year was so scattered with coaching changes and drama and injuries that I'll just set it aside. We can't know what the record would have been with O and Ensminger calling the shots from day one. We can't know how things would have turned out if Miles finished the year. It is what it is, but I'm not going to draw sweeping conclusions off of it because of all the loose variables.
As it is, with the coordinators we have, a lot of young talent in the wings that may actually get used properly now, and another stacked class coming in, there is a lot of reason for optimism in the near future. At least as long as we have Aranda and Canada on the staff. This season was sort of a world unto itself, and next season is a clean slate.

This is why college is better than pro. Every game, drive, play can be a turning point. It is nutty to think Harris doesn't throw the pick vs Wisconsin and the whole season could be different, still have Miles as coach, etc. Guice runs right instead of left and we're in the Sugar Bowl. In the pros teams with 9-7 records make the playoffs.

I mean to say if college football had a 16 team playoff and we were the 16 seed and someone like Iowa was the 16 seed and then say both teams odds of winning is the same is just stupid. No one is saying we actually deserved to be in the playoffs or anything, but to say we wouldn't be favored over a whole lot of teams with better records based on our margin/quality/manner of defeats is just being obtuse
