Are you really arguing the Les was unlucky? That would be a first. Les has had enough good fortune to last 100 lifetimes.

Les Miles has had his share of luck. Good and bad. Same as any other coach.
Gene Chizik was lucky. Coaches like Saban, Meyer, and Miles are successful because they are the best at what they do.

It's funny how good teams tend to get the most luck?
LSU, Alabama, and Florida have been on a 10 year run of collecting the best athletes and coaches together. Most of the "luck" on display reflects that the best teams win most of the close games.
I think what's interesting about LSU is how close they've teetered to multiple championships (as the thread referred to) versus how many of these years they could have picked up an additional 1-2 losses to lesser teams in very close games and weird circumstances (Troy 2008, Tennessee 2010, Ole Miss 2012). I think if you look back over a decade it's kind of evened out over how you'd expect things to break.
It's kind of mind-blowing where Saban and Miles have gotten LSU to on a year to year basis compared to historical levels. LSU fans now sound like Bama fans where 1 or 2 loss seasons are disappointments if you're not in the BCS games :)
