What do y'all need to see to feel good about Coach O this year? The talent is there...

There is a pretty interesting thread over on SECRant that links an interesting article from SB Nation

Based on the article; no team that has less than a 50% "blue chip ratio" has ever won a national championship (since these types of stats have been kept anyway). This year, there are 13 teams that have a legit shot - LSU is one of them

Based on that article; LSU has been one of the worst performing teams in the nation, based on talent levels at each school, in the last several years (in before "UGA fan would know about under-performing")

Only USC, Texas and Michigan have shown less on-field success with comparable talent

if I were an LSU fan, I would want to see AT LEAST a 9-3 record to feel good this year, and anything less than 8 wins would put me firmly in the "O has to go" crowd. Out of your big games with Miami, Aub, UGA & Bama; I would want to see AT LEAST one win and preferably two, or I would be feeling restless

plus, I would also want to see the Tigers at least competing for the SEC West next year

Alabama has been a monster, so I do think that a requirement to win the SEC is probably unfair, but there is no excuse to not at least be in the running late into the season most years

to be fair, outside of the Troy game last year (and maybe the State game as well); Orgeron has not done too bad

but y'all did not run off one of the more successful football coaches in school history to settle for "not too bad"

Here is the list of teams that theoretically have a national title shot based on blue chip talent levels:

Alabama 77%
Ohio State 76%
USC 71%
Georgia 69%
Florida State 67%
LSU 63%
Auburn 62%
Clemson 61%
Michigan 57%
Texas 55%
Oklahoma 53%
Penn State 53%
Notre Dame 51%
