re: Tigers finished # 6

What difference would the A&M win have made?

We would’ve gone to the same bowl game

Can't believe I'm answering this, but I guess I am here...

Well, for starters, we'd have the win over A&M and wouldn't have had our streak against them broken in Jimbo's first year right after we had pursued him over Les Miles and Ed O. I should move this to the recruiting board, and I guess that's point #2.

We also would've finished with a better record. I know, it's crazy to care about W's and L's. And I don't know that we wouldn't have gone to a different bowl, nor do I know that we wouldn't have finished ranked higher at the end...neither one of us knows.

Last, we finished 3rd in our division. A win would've given us 2nd. Again, those stupid rankings and stuff.

If at least half the fan base isn't thrilled, the season likely wasn't a success...this sentiment isn't exclusive to LSU.
