So, if "barely losing" is like a win, but "almost losing" is like a loss, shouldn't they cancel one another out?

I mean, I know they don't actually change in the W-L columns, just saying in whatever twisted logic is percolating inside your head.

I am saying that the team was better overall in 2012 than it was in 2013. We had flashy numbers on offense in 2013, but went 9-3 in the regular season compared to 10-2 in 2012 with being one defensive stop away from winning the West and possibly playing for a national championship. The whole season was better. 2013 wasn't even close to that. We were 7-3 coming out of the Alabama debacle and were playing for nothing.

Both years finished 10-3, but the quality of the season was totally different.

The last time that LSU was competing for any kind of championship was late in the 4th quarter against Alabama in 2012 with Tiger Stadium rocking and LSU clinging to a 4 point lead. We have not competed for anything since that little swing pass went for a TD. You can point to 1/9/12 as the beginning of the decline, but really, losing to Alabama at home that night was when true decline set in.
