I was at those two Cap 1 Bowls!

Mac was 7-6 in bowls, and had some of the greatest bowl wins in LSU history in the 60s. He faced one of the great Nebraska teams of all time in the 1970 Orange Bowl and they barely beat us. In 1966, we ended the defending national champion Arkansas' 22-game win streak in the Cotton Bowl and we beat No. 1 Texas in Mac's first bowl, the 1962 Cotton Bowl. Please don't put down Cholly because of a couple of bad bowl losses in the 70s.

A meaningless bowl game. No thanks I'll take Auburn 2006

I'm not a huge Charley Mac fan, but I get what you're saying. That's one of the big knocks on him, he had some great teams that could play with anyone, but he always seemed to stumble somewhere along the line every year, and often in bowl games. Other times, they would play like the best team in the country.
Arnsparger was actually worse as far as bowls, though. You could tell he just straight up did not give a shite about bowl games.

6 undefeated seasons. I'd say Tennessee was pretty good. Most of those seasons were under their stadium's namesake- Robert Neyland.
Us crazy kids with our interwebz and drugs. We get real deep into the stats and history of college football. At least I do.

The way our program is going and the way that UGA is going, it seems fairly likely that we can pass them in wins and win percentages over the next few years. This would be huge for the program as we would be the third best team in SEC history behind Tenn and Bama
When I graduated LSU in '90, LSU was at 64% and UGA was at 63%.
Also LSU had winning records against all SEC teams besides Bama and UT.
Historically LSU has pretty much BEEN the #3 team in the SEC.
1970: LSU #18, UGA #37
1980: LSU #18, UGA #24
1990: LSU #13, UGA #17
2000: LSU #15, UGA #14
2010: LSU #13, UGA #12
One incredible stat is the grouping of UF, AU, UGA and LSU nationally:
1869-2010:
#12 UGA 64.364%
#13 LSU 64.317%
#15 AU 63.174%
#16 UF 63.090%
1.3% sepration between all 4 teams, average of 0.3% difference in all-time winning percentage between each.

(Although I am starting to notice more and more errors in STASSEN's numbers lately)
This site even makes the argument that LSU is now the #2 team in the SEC behind Bama and ahead of Tennessee.

We owe Tennessee a lot. We need to continue the payback process we started in 2000. If not for the physical collapse of the 2005 team who was emotionally and physically drained from the events of Katrina over the prior month, we would be 6-1 against them since 2000, with two wins in the SECCG.

I use cfbdatawarehouse a lot, more than Stassen. I like their overall rankings and have to agree with them. That ranking, along with a compilation of all of the AP polls that cfbnews did a month or so ago are my favorite two all time ranks.
Hopefully another couple decades of Miles will push us higher and higher up.

That, and second game under a new HC and new defensive scheme that the players were still adjusting to.

I've always had an affinity for Coach Mac probably because he was the first coach I ever remember when I was a little kid in the 70s and started to understand what LSU football was all about. I know he wasn't a great coach in the pantheon of college football, but he was our coach, and we did have some great teams in the 60s that never quite lived up to their potential. The game seemed to pass him by in the mid-70s. At least the players were able to send him off with a bowl win. We only had one more bowl win until 1995 (going 1-5 in the process). Since then, we are 11-3.

Yeah, that's the conventional wisdom and no doubt a big part of it. He didn't have a lot of just 1 or even 2 loss years, though.

I think they both primarily use James Howell's database.
