re: LSU'S last three years...Just a bare bones look....

Well I posted the records of the teams we beat that year. Not one had a % over .500 the SEC is always competitive but you just can't say that and close the book. That was a poor year in terms of quality of wins compared to the other years you are lumping them with.

Why was it less quality because everyone beat each other (except for Bama and Florida, who beat everyone)? It's why we don't look at it on an individual level, we look at the overall performance over the whole of the conference schedule.

And I never said 1 signature win makes a season. Come on. I said all those other years had signature wins when this season had none. That doesn't make a season, but when you are talking quality, it's a factor.

You were specifically asking for a signature win as the "gotcha" argument. I explicitly reject the premise. I don't believe in signature wins or moral victories. I'm also not on here arguing that we "played Bama close". We lost. That's how it counts. End of story. You can argue until you're blue in the face, but you can't change that.

LSU went 5-3 in the SEC (good for 3rd in the conference that year). The only way to devalue that is to argue that the SEC was a bad conference. Go ahead. Let's hear it.
