Do y'all know what "mediocre" actually means?

me·di·o·cre
?mede'ok?r/Submit
adjective
of only moderate quality; not very good.
"a mediocre actor"
synonyms: ordinary, average, middling, middle-of-the-road, uninspired, undistinguished, indifferent, unexceptional, unexciting, unremarkable, run-of-the-mill, pedestrian, prosaic, lackluster, forgettable, amateur, amateurish;
There are 128 FBS football teams. We are ranked 21 or 23 depending on the poll. Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, and LSU are the only SEC teams to finish the regular season ranked in the top 25. We are the 4th or 5th best team this year in the SEC (out of 14). "Mediocre" may apply to where we sit the in SEC west, but no one in the division has a record below .500 and all 7 teams are going to a bowl.
There was disappointment this year and room for improvement moving forward, but the terms "mediocre" and "terrible" to not describe our LSU Tigers.

LSU isn't mediocre overall. They are however middle of the pack in conference and LSU is a school that can and should be elite. So compared to all of CFB, no LSU isn't. Compared to what is expected, LSU is

You're typically judged by your ranking amongst your peers, which means we are judged by our standing versus other SEC West schools. By that standard, we have been mediocre the last two years.

All of these things could describe us the last 4 games. Mediocre is getting your arse kicked by Arkansas by 17 two years in a row and getting your arse kicked by every team in the SEC west with exception of A&M. I'm talking about us getting dominated by Auburn, MSU, Arkansas,Alabama, and Ole Miss the last 2 years. If that isn't mediocre then what is?

LSU is mediocre in conference
Posted on 12/4/15 at 11:20 pm to pt448
Saying LSU is mediocre the last 4 games is actually putting it quite nicely
Posted on 12/4/15 at 11:22 pm to pt448
It's relative, and it's all about actual results vs possible results.
Posted on 12/4/15 at 11:27 pm to pt448
Yeah we should be compared to teams like Nicholls State. Do you even divisions, bro?

Let's move past mediocre and define "value".

I know our offense is mediocre at best...and has been for a while
Posted on 12/5/15 at 1:13 am to pt448
Everyone of the "fans" that use the word mediocre about LSU should strip naked and stand in front of a mirror. THAT is the best definition of mediocre they could ever see.

we weren't ranked last year
we are barely ranked right now
our play in SEC competition over the past 4 years is average.. check the wins/losses in SEC play

When you have a top 5 revenue generating athletic departments, you are mediocre as frick when you lose 3-4 games a year. Its the very definition.
Quit trying to justify LSUs failures. fricking loser's mentality. Need a new coach but we made that possibility a long ways from now.
And we will pay for that mistake dearly.

Your post illustrates what many HATE about the state of LSU football and the Miles apologists. While you're obsessing over whether the correct term to describe our season is mediocre, you know what Alabama fans and their coach would consider the same record...ABJECT FAILURE! The wide gap in expectations is puzzling. The seeming willingness to concede losses and justify it by pointing out our ranking relative to all 128 FBS schools is painful and not very honest gauge of LSU football. For example, the law student at Harvard who finishes ranked 75 out of 150 in his class is by definition AVERAGE. Now the Harvard graduate may have better grades and may be subjectively "smarter" than the kid who graduated 40 out of 150 at LSU's Law Center, but that kid is still AVERAGE when comparing him to his PEERS. Same goes with LSU football. The SEC teams are LSU's peers and LSU is average in comparison.
