re: Looks like Troy will have an 11 win season

But you do agree we never get credit for beating a top 5 team or #1 team in the country unless they are ranked that way when we play them right?

Sure.

so it's been established how w/l records vs. ranked opponents have been recorded throughout college football history but NOW some people want to completely change that system and make it applicable only with final rankings? Oh but I guess you are saying "barely" ranked teams shouldn't count but if they end up "barely" ranked they do count

ETA- I am bored I want to check CLM record vs ranked opponents now

I couldn't care less about the system. I don't care about the official coaching record (give him his interim wins).


I'm using those numbers to try to evaluate what we saw from the team this year and since the coaching change.

I'm just telling you that in terms of our goals for the future, the only impressive win has been beating a good Auburn team. Running the ball against a bunch of bad run defenses with coaches that won't be back next year are plenty of fun during the games, but they don't show much in the way of making progress toward the goal of getting back to Atlanta.


Not sure why that gets you and others so worked up.

I don't recall people having to jump through mental hoops to prop up Les' record to the extent of tallying his record against "opponents who were ranked when we played them"

I have seen posters claim certain facts over the years and one being CLM record vs ranked opponents. I just checked LSU sports.net and his record is 42-23. He didn't lose wins for teams that fell out of the top 25. CEO should be judged by the same criteria...I am not pushing the goalposts here am trying to keep them the same.

all i am trying to do is maintain consistency...compare apples to apples and no cherry picking stats.

I don’t think some of you O fanboys understand that most “O haters” aren’t arguing him vs Les. Les getting fired was more than overdue.

This just shows how bad of a choice O was. When compared to the coach that everyone agrees should have been fired, O pales in comparison.

The problem for some of them is that I actually do think they realize O was a horrible hire but they are trying every way imaginable to justify that he is a better coach than the previous one because they irrationally hated him so much.

It is a total mental shell game that they are constantly moving the argument around and hoping to uncover a better result.

I guess I have this whole firing and hiring process wrong. I thought the idea was to do better and not the same.

Yeah but even though Canada's offense scored less than Miles' offense, they moved around on the line of scrimmage. AMAZING

Only an irrational person would say this

Not considering you are one of those who said you hated the man because he lost a home game right after two major hurricanes hit the state.

Then not giving any credit to him turning it around a going on a run with no bye weeks all the way to the SEC Championship game.

That honestly is a huge litmus test for irrationality.

I'm guessing his point is something along the lines of we mostly beat bad teams and mostly lose to good teams. Is that ok with you?

Oh I see... YOU want what Saban is doing At Bama....Right????

Gee so does EVERY OTHER PROGRAM...

I hate LSU HOMERS................
