Since 2000, LSU is 202-59. Of those 59 losses, only 2 were to teams who finished the season under .500. Who were they?

I found this to be a pretty remarkable stat -- although LSU has certainly lost to less talented teams, they rarely lose to "bad" teams.

Guesses without looking

ETA: UAB was 2000 and I looked up they had a winning record that year.

Next guess: Kentucky 07?
Nope, wrong again.

This is correct. They finished 5-7.

They finished 8-5 I believe.

Arkansas in 2014 ended up 6-7 after losing their bowl game

Didn't that break Arkansas long SEC losing streak? I assume they finished below .500 that year

Is Arkansas the cold night game? If so, I thought that team was worse than 6-7. The worst loss of the Miles era. That team quit

I knew the teams but was unsure of what year we lost to arky. Still not a bad run. We've had a good run since 2000

A monday night game in Tiger Stadium.

Miles had that small arse headset on

We DOMINATED the first half then I don't know what happened at halftime.

I'm pretty sure he ditched that Madonna headset after or during the first game against ASU.

The Tenn game was so frustrating. Jamarcus looked terrible, Rick Clausen replaced Ainge and picked us apart.

We just flat out quit for that game. That game pissed me off more than the 06 no PI in Auburn

The Arkansas loss was on the road in 2008. That team was 4-7 entering that game. Casey Dick had the game winning TD pass with like 20 secs left. That team was horrible and we gave up a big lead to lose the game. 2008 was a struggle at times with our QB issues but that game was pathetic.

Classic Les quote here, we tried a 63 yard FG at the end to win and it fell short. This was Les’ response “I have seen him kick a 65-yard field goal. A play would have had to have been underneath and effective enough to score."

I was livid at that game. Terrible team effort and it was cold as frick and raining. Throw in the wind was in our face, that kick had 0 chance of being good. It was out of range on a great day. Les should have been fired right then

We were down to our fourth-string, true freshman quarterback.

2014, and Arky snapped a 17-game conference losing streak by shutting out LSU 17-0.

I called this loss 4 weeks before it happened because I knew Miles would have strangled the life out of the offense and demoralized the team vs Bama, and Arkansas would be fired up.

I was pulling for Georgia or Miss State to lose to them so we wouldn’t be the team to break their slump, but no.

Jennings, 87 yds passing. The team had 36 yds rushing.

But Arky finished 7-6.
