re: We've only beaten one team with a winning record

Amazing how many feel slighted by your fact.

We suck. All.there is too it

but as they say, you can only play the teams on the schedule.

They say that when a team is undefeated. LSU is 1-3 vs teams with winning records.

LSU is 1-3 vs teams with winning records.

would it be better to lose to teams with losing records?

Also why don't we credit for beating teams with winning records when we play them? Syracuse & UF

Ole miss was 3-3 when we played with losses at Cal and to Bama and Auburn

Miles didn’t get shite on like O is now

Good grief...

Miles had just won the fricking national title the year before...and LSU fans were declaring it as having "backed into it" because of the two losses, that he only did it because he still had some "Saban guys" on the team, and had decided he was Larry Coker. Miles got almost no credit for the title from many fans, and he was getting crucified in 2008 for having both recruited Perriloux and not controlling him enough so that he had to kick him off...for not having a viable alternative ready at QB behind him and then mismanaging the QB's we DID have since none of them were really ready to play in 2008.

By the end of 2008, Miles was 42-11 with an SECW title, an SEC title and a National Title and 4 straight Bowl Wins, including a Sugar plus the NCG. 2008 marked the first season in his tenure where his teams had won fewer than 11 games And he was HATED by a large portion of our fans...

But you're right...O's got it worse this year...

Why don't u pussy's become GUMPS? Its (O)first year. Saban lost to ULM his first year at home.

I don’t go around looking for negatives nor am I miserable so I’m not sure if I can answer your question but I’ll give it a shot anyway.

Your question isn’t valid but not for reason you think. You’re right no one cares what a schedule was once you’ve won a championship nor should they especially now that we have a playoff. It does however matter before hand Wisconsin is undefeated but not in the top4 because of their schedule.

With O it’s not about looking for negatives it’s about analysis and looking to the future. Les Miles was the most successful coach in LSU history. He was fired because he had slipped from elite status or legitimate title contention. Many of us are skeptical that O is the man to get back there. And the reason we are skeptical is not because we love Miles and hate O, that’s a stupid lazy narrative. It’s because we look at his resume and do not see anything to make us think he can get us back there. All we have to go on is a coaches record. Obviously Os record at Ole Miss was horrendous, the counter is he learned and we can see that in his record as Interim here and at USC and now as a full time coach. But if you look at his record he’s been basically beating a bunch of bad teams and losing to good one. Counting his games at USC and LSU he has 2 quality wins: Stanford and Auburn this year. Gerry DiNardo said its easy to go from 4 wins to 10. Going from 10 to 12 or 13 is hard (please not this was when you played 11 games and a bowl). I agree with that. To get from 10-12 you need to beat the good teams And so far what I’ve seen from O looks he’ll do no better than what Miles was doing and we’ll be stuck in the 8-10 win purgatory.

if you beat a team ranked 3rd do you get credit for beating the 3rd ranked team or whatever their final ranking is?

The final ranking is what matters. You can make exceptions in some circumstances like a team you played early was devastated by injuries and fell off or they lost early but by the time you played them the Fr Qb was in and they were better but those are exceptions.
