the 3rd was a typo, should have said 4th. LSU under miles has never finished 5th SECW under miles. last year was the 1 time he finished below 3rd in the SECW in 11 seasons. if you'd care to check:

not sure why you think history doesn't matter, but I'm not a millinial, I actually have an attention span & to me, those past games in tiger stadium were & are very important to me, as are the present games.
sure teams move up & down & in & out of the polls. no we aren't locked into past history. my point there is who exactly do you have to sell at qb for a top flight qb to be impressed with? hodson & jones? flynn & mett? I'm asking a legit question. you think that isn't a big part of the salesmanship of recruiting? cam/miles could have used jamarcus, who threw for 3,000 yards under his watch. he sure looked like shit under saban. but he decided to be a bum in the NFL. he can use mettenberger's 3,000 yards & flynn.
but that's the part that you don't see. If miles/cam has a good qb, he will use him. if he has a mediocre/poor qb, what's the point? sit the all american rb , while a 1st year starter learns to read defenses? this has been the case for 2 seasons now. how much "deception & imagination" do you believe these seasoned coaches are really surprised with. jimbo fisher's bubble screens? they fool nobody, any of the time. they may execute them well at times, but there is no imagination or surprise. you want to bet the farm on jimbo beating saban or even heir apparent, dabo swinney with his imagination? he imagined 3 points at auburn in '06 & achieved it. we lost the game due to that crap.
