Got this tidbit from a post on another site. In the last 6 games against Top 10 opponents, LSU is 6-0 and 4 of those wins were on the road. Good grief.
I'm trying to think of who all they were against. Last two, easy enough: @ #10 Auburn, vs #1 Ohio State @ New Orleans Other games? (Ah, quick flip of a page in a preview magazine told me): 2007: vs #9 Florida, vs #9 Virginia Tech 2006: @ #5 Arkansas, @ #8 Tennessee Last losses: 2006: @ #3 Auburn, @ #5 Florida Wins before: 2005: vs #9 Miami @ Atlanta, @ #4 Alabama Loss before: 2005: vs #10 Tennessee Miles is 8-3 against top ten teams, right?
8-3 is correct. Related factoid I got from that other sight: In ROAD games against RANKED OPPONENTS, when TRAILING BY DOUBLE DIGITS in the SECOND HALF, Les Miles' Tigers are 5-1, including 3-1 against top 10 opponents. 2005: -trailed #14 Arizona State 17-7 in second half, won 35-31 -trailed #3 Alabama 10-0 in second half, won 16-13 in OT 2006: -trailed #5 Florida 23-7 in second half, lost 23-10 -trailed #8 Tennessee 17-7 in second half, won 28-24 2007: -trailed #18 Alabama 27-17 in second half, won 41-34 2008: -trailed #10 Auburn 14-3 in second half, won 26-21
