Replace the 5s with the bowl win Vs Louisville.

Beating A shitty Florida team 17-16 when they missed a PAT is not his 5th best win.

Neither if LF7 going nuts on a 5-7 Ole Miss team.

Louisville was 10-3 and had a heisman candidate playing who we completelt suffocated.

Louisville was a big win, but we were so much better than them. I think the outcome was expected.

Big win nonetheless...

I agree. I absolutely loved that Louisville game. Also, contrary to what people say about bowl games I think they provide the final impression of the season, set the tone for the offseason and give a boost for recruiting. It's always good to win your final game and if the catch and missed tackle on the ND WR doesn't occur and we beat ND, 2017 is viewed as a bad start, but good trajectory type season.

100% agree.

I would probably put UCF in the top 5 because it was a NY6 bowl, UCF was ranked #8, and the way LSU did it.

LSU kept the ball for 44 minutes on
Offense and limited the play of the LSU defense which was missing numerous starters.

Considering all that happened and how we blew the game against UF at home the year before, I think it was a bigger W than the 2016 bowl win considering we had just lost to Troy and were curb stomped by State two games before that. Morale was extremely low and there would have likely been no salvaging the season or his future at LSU if he would have lost that game too.

That W sparked the turnaround for that season. Yeah, UF missed an extra point, but they also had the ball at the end and LSU's D stuffed them and they turned it over on downs.
