So now rankings are meaningless? Does that mean every year outside of 2007 the final rankings were insignificant under Miles?


The BCS is what mattered in 2007. Like the Playoff poll is what matters now.

Like I said before, you’re just flat out bad at this.

You realize what brings this shite up right? When some of y’all want to shite on a #6 ranking....3 losses blah blah blah. How can anyone bitch about that when we were the only team to win BCS with 2 losses?




Because 1 was a season where we were the undisputed sec champ and the other was 2018.

Economics degree from one of the most prestigious universities in the country.

He got the lsu job because saban left at the worst possible time and miles had just taken a team with 1 season .500 or above in 12 years and made them respectable.

Just say that Saban had to have some major luck for some of his championships as well. It's the truth.



Yes it is the truth.

College football used to have a motto that they used in their commercials, "every game matters"

2011 was the year that motto died.

Has a 3 regular season loss team ever been SELECTED to the fiesta bowl?.

Ole Miss was selected for an NY6 bowl in back to back seasons with 3 losses. Wasn’t the Fiesta Bowl specifically but non CFP NY6 bowl games are all basically the same

I dont see a reason to say O or Miles is dumb as frick. Both know more football than anyone on here and neither are stupid. We can disagree with their football philosophies but they arent dumb.

Still iffy on that.

Les was just stupid stubborn, which got him fired eventually.

CoachO has the benefit of hindsight, and knows damn well he has to be somewhat the opposite of Les to keep his job.

can we come to an understanding on what is considered a successful season at LSU?

Yes or No...

Must win the SEC west?
Must win the SEC?
Make the playoffs with at minimum a sec west title?
Make the playoffs without winning sec/sec west?
Top 10 final ranking?

And to each is own but dont dismiss a west/sec title while touting one that isnt with a worse record

Agreed. I don’t think anyone who has made it as far as those two is intellectually dumb.

Absolutely, my hopes were high, my expectations, not so much.

Talk to me when his team scores a TD vs Bama. Then I’ll tell you to talk to me when they beat Bama, Win the SEC and a national championship.

I sincerely hope we have that conversation.

Great.

Do you think an at-large Fiesta Bowl bid is more impressive than an at-large Sugar Bowl bid? I literally addressed that in my post

I know you were trying to make a point previously but it really wasn’t a good one. All at-large NY6 bowl births for non playoff teams are essentially equal. It would be pretty pointless to argue otherwise

But here you go, Arizona was an at-large pick for the 2014 Fiesta Bowl with 3 losses

You do realize that with 4 teams going to the playoffs more 3 loss teams will make fiesta, sugar, rose, and orange bowl right? Your it hasn’t happened in a decade argument is not as big of a deal as you make it out to be bc the parameters have changed

Two of these will be playoff games, rotating with the cotton and peach bowls, each season. Outside of the playoffs you still only have 4 “major” bowl games. Just like with the BCS.

So, you’re wrong again. Shocker, I know.

Lol

9-3 with struggling QB production and 63-10 combined scoring against Bama is not an upgrade from Les.
