Did we face the same gauntlet of a schedule in those years?
No, but not THAT far off. Opened against top 25 Mississippi State (whose DC was Manny Diaz, coincidentally).
Then played top 20 Auburn.
Then beat top 10 Florida.

LSU was undefeated at this time in 2015. Was that an outstanding season?
Our schedule in 2015 was MUCH more manageable than this year's schedule

Phenomenal job! And, don't forget about assistant coaches!
Best of Luck on Saturday Tigers!

general yes. Conference losses are much much worse than bowl game losses. And the Troy was a toss out. Fluke.
Wow.
Losing to Arkansas looks way better than losing to troy.
I can't believe im actually arguing with someone that thinks 4 losses with 2 conference losses is better than 3 losses with 3 conf losses.
Ive seen it all from the O fanatics now.

I'm not gonna try to find the strength of schedule at this time of the year in '15, but I would imagine we beat 2 teams that were ranked in the top 25 at this time in 2015.

Why does anyone have to acknowledge anything more than we've acknowledged already? It's a good season so far . But there are events yet to occur that could color the season in a different light.
I don't think anyone doubted Orgeron's ability to string a few games together, or even a single good season. My concerns have always been about his long term viability.
I am surprised at the contributions that Burrow and Tracy have given this team, but those are not conditions that will persist for long. Orgeron will have to grow his own QB talent eventually, and he has not shown the ability to do that. That's just a fact and is cause for concern in the long term, unless you think he can make a living off of plucking disgruntled, already developed QBs from other teams.

2 conference losses is better than 3 conference losses. Math much?

And the staff has done an awesome job SO FAR.
And many of us expect the staff to CONTINUE doing an awesome job.
It's just baffling to me why you guys are so hell bent on getting a pat on the back 2/3 of the way through the season.
This season has been so much fun and it's truly starting to feel like we're getting back to where we want to be as a program, but can't we finish the fricking season before we start jerking each other off?

We played at State and got those other two matchups at home.
This year, we beat top 10 Miami at a neutral site, beat top 10 Auburn on the road, lost a one-possession game to top 25 Florida on the road, beat #2 Georgia at home, and beat top 25 State at home.
You tell me which is more impressive.

OOC losses to Group of 5 teams can hurt a lot worse than conference losses.

keep seeing them bring up 2015. Has anyone brought up strength of schedule for the first 8 games of 2015. If I'm not mistaken the wheels came off after the bama loss. aTm saved Les's job. LSU has already had a loss this year I don't think that the two seasons are comparable.
You dont see the comparison because youre biased.
2015 we had a productive offense and had beaten 4 ranked teams and hadnt lost.

We aren’t recruiting against Troy st and some
Bowl game opponent from across the country Bubba. sec games are much more important than your out of conference or non playoff bowl games.

25 - Mississippi State
18 - Auburn
8 - Florida
State and Auburn ended up being unranked. Florida finished 25.

Welcome back my friend. When someone disappears for an extended amount of time like you did, it makes a person wonder if they've been banned or if something else has happened.
Glad to see you posting again.

Before the season none would admit that any of those moves could be considered positive moves and certainly wouldn't be a factor in whether the season was a success or not. It's the equivalent of deliberately poking one's eyes out to avoid admitting the obvious.

Why would any rational person acknowledge anything before actually seeing the fruits of their labor? Orgeron's HC resume didn't offer up much benefit of the doubt.
It's been a great season so far, but you just said yourself that you were going to reserve judgment until the season was over. That's what pretty much everyone else has been doing because we've seen seasons and coaching tenures unravel quickly before. That doesn't make anyone a "nega" or a "hater".

Well, there you go. LSU plays a difficult every season. Last year was an anomaly. With a strong OOC opponent 10 out of the next 12 years, that isn't changing any time soon either.

Let me get this straight - you're saying that no one said retaining Aranda, signing Burrow and signing Tracy were positive moves that could factor into whether the season is a success or not? Are you fricking high on crack?
