If you had told me in August we'd finish at #6 in the final AP poll, I'd have been happy.

Not Bad! A little surprised they didn't have Florida above us though.

Successful season...now build off of it, next year we need to be inside the top 5...complacency in the SEC is a terrible thing.

That seems fair 2 of losses came from teams ranked in the top ten and the third lose came from seven overtime screwing from a #16 Texas lite.

LSU beat UGA, UGA beat UF, UF beat LSU. All with 3 losses. So I say it’s pretty reasonable we are bunched together with only a sliver of a difference overall.

Is top six elite negatigers? Nevermind the fact that LSU would have finished at least 11 & 1 had not LSU lost Ingram and Taylor before the season, the two tight ends also before the season, and then K'lavon Chaisson in the first game of the season.

It’s crazy that LSU is the only team in the country that lost players to injury and suspensions. It’s not fair to Coach O that he has to deal with those issues while everybody else never has injuries or attrition. Damn negatigers!
