re: Does 10 wins including bowl game mean anything anymore?

For some fans, 10 wins will mean something because of how the 10 wins came. In pre-season LSU was expected to win about 6 games and "over-achieved". To other fans, 10 wins won't mean as much considering how we barely matched up with Bama in a down year for their program and was severely under-matched with UGA, the new king of the SEC.
Everyone has their own perspective. To me, how much this season means boils down to whether or not you've seen enough this year to make you enthused about the direction of the program OR do you feel the jury is still out on CBK.
Losing that TAMU game really put a damper on this season for me. Not only did it directly knock us out of contention for a shot at the playoffs, it was a glimpse of what TAMU could be with a more focused effort.

It means a lot for the future of the program. Heading into the off-season having accomplished that will give this team a lot of confidence. The fans may not feel the same way, but who cares?

If we go from top 5 to
Lose to 4-7 A&M by 2 scores
Lose to UGA by 20
Lose to Purdue
Unranked
Then yeah that's a big fricking deal

Not anymore since they are playing 12, 13, 14 games unlike years ago.

Remember when we were supposed to be last in the west?

10 wins used to mean "elite" status - 10-0, 10-1.
Now 10 wins - 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, means you are in the upper echelon of college football, but not necessarily "elite."
That, IMO, is the difference today.

Yes.

Well they got their arse whipped by A&M and are playing in the toilet bowl. Kind of hard to get excited.
I’ll get excited when JD announces he is putting his name in the draft.

I means 10 wins.

Averaging 10+ is what every head coach at LSU should do. So yes, it’s an important benchmark.
Posted on 12/11/22 at 9:29 am to cleetus
Considering where we were in the seasons of 2020/2021… YES it does. I think the future is bright with Coach Kelly ! Gooooo Tigers

Playoffs or bust depending on the school.

Does losing three games in a row matter? Does losing twice in three games where LSU is a double-digit favorite matter?
The debacle in College Station makes this bowl game matter a lot.

As I sat around yday watching Army/Navy game I thought God I wish LSU was playing football today, hell yes it means something. LSU is back in the discussion of Big Time College Football talk. Just think if the season would’ve gone as many thought 6-6,7-5, or 8 wins being the max. Think how miserable this board is over winning 10 games can u imagine 6 or 7 or for shite sakes no bowl game. The future is bright and expectations are high especially if we win that 10th game. It’s not where we want to be but it sure beats the alternative!

After the last two seasons, hell yes it means something. We are rebuilding a program and 10 wins is a dam good start.
Posted on 12/11/22 at 10:34 am to cleetus
10 is just a number.
Posted on 12/11/22 at 10:36 am to cleetus
It’s all about context and expectations. LSU fans were ecstatic about a 10-3 record in 2001 just 2 years after finishing 3-8. It also helped that they were SEC Champions and won the Sugar Bowl and it came 43 years after LSU’s only National Championship. LSU fans should be happy about a 10 win season when considering the state of the program and the roster after last season. But too many fans will look at in the context of where the program was 3 years ago and harp on the 2 losses this year (FSU and 8&4) and that his should have been a 12 win season.

I would be thrilled to end the season with 10 wins, but that Purdue back is going to push our shite in all game.
Posted on 12/11/22 at 11:58 am to cleetus
It sure meant something back in 2018. It foreshadowed a national championship season
