LSU is 5-15 "Big Games" Since 2022

Criteria: Hand-picked games against either highly ranked teams or games important for playoff chances. I've excluded games against ranked opponents where our season was over or if the team was ranked but obviously bad or injured (ie, Mississippi St. this year)
2022:
- FSU: Loss, Opening neutral site game to kick-off Kelly era
- #7 Ole Miss: Win
- #6 Alabama: Win (in OT), kept season alive technically
- #1 UGA: Loss, big underdogs but SECCG to punch our way in
2023:
- #8 Florida State: Loss by 20 points
- #20 Ole Miss: Loss, needed to avoid a second loss so we didn't have two going into October to start the year
- #21 Missouri: Win to stay alive
- #8 Alabama: Loss by 14 points
2024:
- #23 USC: Opening game neutral site loss
- #9 Ole Miss: OT Win
- #14 A&M: Loss by 15
- #11 Alabama: Loss by 30
2025:
- #4 Clemson: Win (I get they're bad but this was big at the time)
- #13 Ole Miss: Loss
- #17 Vandy (when they were good): Loss
- #3 A&M: Loss by 24 at home, fired coach
- #4 Alabama: Loss
2026:
- #8 Ole Miss: Loss
- Kentucky: Loss, they weren't ranked when we played them, but we all understood it would be the hardest of the next three and that they were a solid team playing at night when we already had an SEC loss on our belt.
- #5 Alabama: Loss
2022:
- FSU: Loss, Opening neutral site game to kick-off Kelly era
- #7 Ole Miss: Win
- #6 Alabama: Win (in OT), kept season alive technically

This is fricking stupid.
Clemson was absolutely a big game. Week 1 of new era, Gameday on campus.
A&M was a big game, two teams with high preseason expectations coming off of early losses, seasons on the line.
Auburn was absolutely a big game. On the road against a team that just beat the #1 team in the country.
Judging “big” games only after the fact is for bleeding twats with an agenda.
Hell every SEC game is a big game for that matter.
So we aren’t on Alabama or Georgia’s level yet when it comes to top 10 wins, alert the fricking press with this mind blowing headline!!!

#8 Tennessee came to Baton Rogue in 22 and sodomized you all in a big game iirc

Feels like we are closer to Arkansas in big games than Alabama or Georgia

Agreed. So just show LSU vs ranked opponents since 2022
Hint. We’re 9-16 vs ranked teams since 2020

You need to include Tennessee game in 2022.

Mississippi State was ranked when we beat them this year as was A&M.

The simple fact they've had 20 big games since 2022 tells us they face much stronger competition than anyone in the Big 10, Big 12, ACC or Independents like Notre Dame.
That said, I wish we had done better and yet I am not mad as we know that this is going to change in the next few years.

They were down their star QB and we were 18pt favorites. That game simply did not have the same gravitas as the rest on this list.
We were double digit favs against A&M and they were insanely injured.

MSU was playing a former walk on at QB, that doesn’t count
