Record is 2-8 based on final poll (2022-2024). Expect it to become worse after losses this year to TAMU, OM, Vandy and likely, ALA & OK; all will probably finish season in the top 25, unless the wheels come off. No quality wins...doubt Clemson finishes in top 25.

2022: Florida State (lost, finished #11), Ole Miss (won, finished #25), Alabama (won, finished #5), Georgia (lost, finished #1).
2023: Florida State (lost, finished #6), Ole Miss (lost, finished #9), Alabama (lost, finished #5).
2024: Ole Miss (lost, finished #11), Alabama (lost, finished #17)

Using a teams ranking when you played them (in the earlier part of the k season mostly) is one of the dumbest things people do in college sports lol

He sucks, but you’re not counting at least 2 Ws in @Mizzou 2023 and @Scar 2024. As long as nobody knows it’s a big game at the time, he can win them.

It was bad at ND as well, it's not like there wasn't precident. Anyone that though the LSU talent level would change anything were smoking crack.

Agreed. But no way Woodward is smoking crack. Way too fat. But his history with football hires says you may be on to something

have seen a lot of hire Lane posts. His record against AP Top 25 is even more dismal.

Thanks for the correction. 4-8. Actually, 12 of the 16 current SEC Coaches have less than .400 win percentage against AP Top 25.

This is wrong.

2022 Alabama, Miss St
2023 Mizzu
2024 Ole Miss, South Carolina

Kelly played 12 teams that finished top 20 in the final AP poll. He went 5-7.

When he lost, he lost to the upper echelon of ranked teams outside of FSU in his first game, which was the most blunder filled football game I had ever seen.
