I agree they should have just left the BCS rankings in place to decide the 4, but ultimately each team will control its own destiny. A one loss SEC champ should be enough to get in each year. I'm also glad they're leaving it at 4 teams, there are no more than 4 each year who deserve to be in the h...
2000 was fun but it's difficult to top the second half of 2001. The monster offensive performance at Bama, then the four game run of Arkansas, Auburn, Tennessee, Illinois. A span of a five weeks saw our first ever division title, first conference title in 13 years, and first major bowl win In ...

Well in 2011, you can at least say that a flipped result in the Jan 9 game means we win it. So we did control our own destiny until the very end. Depends if you think we were really better than them and should have beaten them in the Dome. I wanted to say 2012, from the standpoint that a flippe...

[quote]How is 2004 Auburn not #1? THat team had 4 1st rounders on it, including 3 in the backfield. 10 guys on the offense alone went on to play in the NFL. [/quote] Doesn't matter anyway. 2004 Auburn almost lost to the 2004 LSU team at home, and needed a major break to keep from going into ov...
Johnny Jones is in year one of a rebuilding project. In Saban's fist year at LSU, we were thrilled to win any SEC game. Hell, we rushed the field for an overtime win over 11th ranked Tennessee. Things are different when you're an established program. And then add to it, in football a single re...

[quote]Tough to go against Hilliard, but Ben Wilkerson came in as a true freshman and started at center for the 2003 team.

re: '13 -Best/Worst Case Scenarios?

To answer OP, we probably go 8-4. Losing to Ags, Bama, Georgia... then probably lose one out of Arkansas, Ole Miss, TCU, Florida and State. ETA: this is the best case scenario. Too many losses on the defensive side of the ball, and it's doubtful Miles will be changing his offensive philosophy...

[quote]No. They got the "Miles transitional track" treatment. But I don't remember the exact conditions during that time. I imagine much has to do with the timing of programs and their hiring needs.

To answer the OP question, no. Even the staff of 1997 managed to lose three games inexplicably, to lesser talent. We were good for an occasional Atlanta run, that was probably the ceiling. Not enough emphasis on facilities at the time. This was a hallmark of Saban and Emmert. Our recruiting ...

[quote]The ghost of Mike Archer played a big part in the thought process, I'd imagine.[/quote] This is the main reason. LSU was only five years removed from the 1990s at that time. This was before the recent successes of in-staff promotions like Bielema, Butch Jones and Chip Kelly. LSU had sou...
[quote]I remember the ESPN commentary in the week leading up to our game against Bama. Bama was still undefeated and ranked third. The issue was what should be done if Bama remains undefeated along with Texas and USC? They came to the conclusion that Bama would have to move up because they will have...
