We win 9 and 2 teams the predicted to beat us we’re terrible.

This isn’t hard, it’s fricking math.

9-2= 7

Post season games aren’t counted in win total bets.

I think from a preseason standpoint we looked like a good team with an insane schedule.

From a post season standpoint we’re a good team with a tough but not insane schedule.

I understand the math you are trying to do. Doesn’t mean you have a sound point.

You just said Vegas had LSU tabbed correctly as a 7 win team because Miami & auburn “stunk”. Now they were a good team?

Wrong I think vegas thought we were a good team that had an insane schedule.

We had 4 top 10 teams on our schedule.

That Should be 4 losses at least, and that’s the realm Vegas operates in, odds and probabilities.

Even a good team that plays 4 better teams may have a bad record.

First, bashing should never be allowed, player or coach. Second, what do you even mean by throwing a group under the bus? There's nothing wrong with honest criticism of a player or unit. If the OL played poorly as a unit, anyone should be able to point that out.


Honest criticism of a coach gets you labeled a negatiger.

Honest criticism of a player/position coach in lieu of the coaches gets you called a super fan.

It's a very weird set up.

Agree, although there were more than a few subpar moments this year, and one poorly coached game (Bama), and one poorly executed game that was really stolen from us (TAM), overall we upgraded over Les Miles and are on a positive trajectory for the first time in 5 years. We also shut up all of the negative media types who predicted we would fail and that O was on the hot seat.

We still have a ways to go to beat Bama, including huge upgrades at RB and better Oline play, and keeping our juniors in the system for another year.

I’m how do you figure?

4 top 10 teams and another random loss.

In the end we were 0-2 vs top 10 teams with a random loss.

At the beginning of the year, Bama, Auburn, and UGA looked like certain losses.

Miami, A&M, Florida, and Mississippi State all looked like toss-up or close games.

You can easily find 5 losses in there.

As it turns out, Auburn and Miami were terrible, and to Orgeron's credit, he beat a very good UGA team and a decent State team.

Like I said, they were wrong about LSU. That is the only way you can find 5 losses. It wasn’t the other teams

Well, it was kind of both. Like I said, Auburn and Miami turned out to be bad football teams. Vegas was absolutely wrong about those teams. But Vegas probably didn't expect us to beat UGA, so they were wrong about LSU there.

If Vegas had Miami, Florida, State, and A&M as toss-up games, then they were dead on, as we went 2-2 against those teams.

Predicting 7 wins? Nope.

I was ridiculed here for predicting 9-3 or 10-2.

Vegas screwed the pooch on their analysis of LSU, and most of the national prognosticators swallowed the bait too.
