The "we have no good wins" rubric

1 what constitutes a good win? Everybody we've beaten so far has at least two losses. Big deal. All but a handful of teams have at least two losses. Is Georgia's win over Bama a bad win because Bama has two losses? If Miami's win over UNC, if they hang on, a bad win because they have 3 losses.
2. We unarguably have the "best losses" of anybody. Ohio State has absolutely stunk it up tonight. Do they get penalized by the committee for the bad loss?

Patience, we are about to play two top 10 teams at home. The wins are coming.

We win out and we are a top 5 team. It’s coming. As long as we win.

Give it a rest. We don't have a good win but we about about to play Gumps, Trans and Viles. Check back in late November.

Beating a ranked team would help. No, a Mississippi St team without their QB is not the same.
Ohio St also doesn’t have their QB.

A "good win" is a win this season. Teams are so inconsistent week to week that if you walk away with a W it is all you need.
But we've been better than that. In every game until the end and straight dominated 6 of them.

Ohio State blew a three TD lead to a team that lost to Oklahoma. We can play circular logic all day.

Brutha, we just have to win out. We control it from here. Check back in if we lose one..

I really don’t care about Ohio St.
They have 2 ranked wins on the road. That’s 2 good wins.

Well if we beat Bama, Texas and TN they will each have 3 losses. By the standard we're being held to those won't be good wins either.

Should be top 3.

none of the teams LSU has beaten this year are currently ranked in top 25
good news is they play 3 ranked teams coming up
alabama, texas, tennessee

It’s not our fault the some of our previous opponents aren’t ranked.

The way it’s being portrayed is any team that loses to LSU is no longer a good team anymore.

And still would lose to this same LSU team that has “no good wins” by double digits in tiger stadium. Yall are taking this resume shite way too seriously. I know what I’m seeing with this LSU team and I’m damn sure seeing one of the best all around teams in the country. If you can’t see that then that’s your problem.

Yeah, in the Sun Belt which no one puts stock in. Here is the reality of our wins:
LA Tech is 6-2, Sun Belt team
Clemson is 5-3, ACC team
McNeese is 4-5, Southland (FCS) team
Our SEC wins are Miss St, Auburn, and A&M. All three are 4-4
Now granted, we've been absolutely dominant in all 6 of these, our backups played the end of every one of them. And that's good. We beat bad teams in the fashion that good teams are expected to handle bad teams. We LOOK like a great team because of how much we've dominated the teams we're expected to beat, and the 2 losses can be excused because they were 1 score games that came down to the final plays, both on the road against top 12 teams. On top of this, other teams high in the rankings have either suffered either a blowout loss or a loss to a bad team that's not even ranked, neither of which has happened to us so far. So we got that going for us.
Eventually though you have to beat a good team, you can't just blowout bad teams and lose close ones to the best teams on your schedule. And realistically that's what we've done so far. We have 3 upcoming weekends to add such wins to our resume. To this point though they have not happened yet though, and it's not unreasonable for other people to point that out at this point in time. You know damn well we'd be pointing out the same thing about any team other than us if that was the case with them.
Win those games and then that talking point dies. It's that simple.

As the season plaus out, it now looks like we will be playing the 3 best teams on our schedule in November. I know that there is an argument that Kentucky would be on of three best, but I am not completely sold on them.

What are the odds that after we beat Tennessee that they’ll vote them out of the top 25?
Posted on 11/1/26 at 6:36 am to Jim Rockford
I don't really care about this tired logic. It's an argument when it's about LSU, but barely a footnote when ND comes up. LSU plays an SEC schedule, other than that, they have 3 ooc games that they schedule years in advance, one with a P4 school. They can't control how good those teams are when they play them, and they aren't gonna schedule the other 2 with SOS in mind. If an SEC team finishes the season with two losses or less, that's a playoff team. At this point, that's all that matters. If LSU loses one more game, then we wait and see what happens. If LSU loses 2 more games, then it's all moot anyway.
