re: I hate saying a bowl win gives us 10 wins. 10 REGULAR SEASON wins is the bar at LSU.

There are more games now, we are a better program now. We shouldn't had 10 wins THIS year. Ole Miss was an abomination. That performance, and not winning 10 regular season games, will be the types of things that keep us out of a 12-team playoff.

We were not close to a top 10 program when Kelly took the job. Top 10 programs in real-time don’t go 11-12 over two seasons. The rest of the college football world didn’t sit still while O completely fricked us over, and there’s no magic wand to instantly reset it.

We are obviously trying hard to get back there, but Top 10 is just objectively false currently. We’re probably back to between 10-15 now, but projecting your expectations based on the past from 2019 and before- before NIL and the full impact of the Portal- is irrelevant.

I think we get back to the Top 10 in the next year or two, but only if the defensive staff is fixed, and then recruiting with that.
