Yes, the win over Ole Miss was huge and the UK blowout was nice, but you've got to look at the entire body of work.

We got pounded by Auburn
We got pounded by Miss St. (ignore the final score, that was an arse-whipping)
We barely beat a bad Florida team

I like that we're on the upswing, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. If we follow-up the Ole Miss win and beat Bama, the committee will really take notice and we'll make a big jump.

we really didn't get "pounded" as much as we gave up some very big plays and left the defense on the field way too long. Obviously State and Aubie have really good offenses, and may have better teams overall. However, much of the outcomes of those games were self-inflicted, scheme and personnel issues that have come a long way since then.

2 things to go look at, in the Miss State game Welter and Beckwith largely alternated quarters, Welter in the 1st and 3rd, Beckwith in the 2nd and 4th. State scored 28 points in the 1st and 3rd, 6 in the 2nd and 4th. Next, go through the drive charts for the Auburn game and look at their running plays. If I recall, about half or slightly more went for less than 4 yards.

I always love this one......so if we had completed that last play, we would not have counted the win right? LOL....or if Ole Miss would have completed that last play they wouldn't really have won right? You guys...lol

So, it was ok for Mich State to lose by 21 points right? It was ok for Georgia to lose to a bad SC team right? I'm sure there are more examples, maybe Ohio State losing to a terrible Va Tech team....

the fact is that a very young LSU team got drummed on the road at auburn....starting a freshmen qb that looking back, probably should not have been doing......other than that, they have won every game, and the only other loss was a single digit loss to Miss State where LSU had a chance to win in the end, and it is also the closest anyone has played MSU this year........gotcha...
