we will beat most teams we’re SUPPOSED to beat, some will be challenges and ugly similar to Florida and LA tech. we will lose to some ranked teams like Ole Miss this year, our past 3 home openers (FSU x 2, USC), Texas A&M last year we WONT beat the top teams. Alabama last year and (this year too), Tennessee 2022, UGA sec chip, FSU 2023.. Coach Kelly WILL lose to all top 5 teams and will have a losing record against top 10 teams. A leopard can’t change his spots. He is OUR James Franklin unfortunately

LSU through the BK era. Here is the data 2022:

• Week 1 - Unranked LSU loses to unranked FSU. Score is 24-23. 0-1 to start the BK era.

• Week 6 - #25 LSU (4-1 now 4-2) loses to #8 Tennessee. Score is 40-13 Yuck. BK is 0-1 vs top 10.

• Week 8 - unranked LSU (5-2 now 6-2) beats #7 Ole Miss. Score is 45-20. bK is 1-1 top 10 teams. (Ole Miss loses 5 out of next 6 games)

• Week 9 - #15 LSU (6-2 now 7-2) beats #6 Bama in OT. Score is 32-31. BK is 2-1 vs top 10. Kelly beats Saban. First big W.

• Week 12 - #6 LSU (9-2 now 9-3) loses to unranked Texas A&M. Score is 38-23 Yuck. Inexplicable - cost us New Year’s Day bowl game.

• Week 13 (SEC chip) - #11 LSU (9-3 now 9-4) loses to #1 UGA. Score is 50-30 Yuck. BK is 2-2 vs top 10. 2-2 vs top 25

2022 summary - 2-2 vs top 10. Loss to FSU to start BK era by special teams blunders was bad. Ole Miss top 10 win looks bad because they lost 5 out of next 6 games. Unranked A&M beating #6 LSU was horrible. When LSU loses, it’s by multiple scores… the games aren’t close (except FSU… damn special teams) LSU ends year 10-4 and is #16 in final AP ranking. Next is 2023:

• Week 1 - #5 LSU (0–1) loses to #8 FSU. Score is 45-24 Yuck. BK is 2-3 vs top 10. 2-3 vs top 25

• Week 5 - #13 LSU (3-1 now 3-2) loses to #20 Ole Miss. Score is 55-49 shootout. LSU allows 21 points in the 4th to lose the game. 2-3 vs top 10. 2-4 vs top 25

• Week 6 - #23 LSU (3-2 now 4-2) beats #21 Mizzou. Score is 49-39. BK is 2-3 vs top 10. 3-4 vs top 25

• Week 9 - #13 LSU (6-2 now 6-3) loses to #8 Bama. Score is 42-28 Yuck. BK is 2-4 vs top 10. 3-5 vs top 25

2023 summary - 0-2 vs top 10. 1-3 vs top 25. Official record 2-4 vs top 10. 3 - 5 vs top 25 Bk loses another home opener and is BAD against ranked opponents. Once again when we lose, the games are NOT close. We lose by multiple scores. Mizzou ends year ranked #9 including beating Ohio State in bowl game .. that was a quality win. LSU ends year 10-3 and is #12 in final AP ranking. Next is 2024:

• Week 1 - #13 LSU (0-1) loses to #23 USC. Another week 1 loss. Score is 27-20. BK is 3-6 vs top 25

• Week 6 - #13 LSU (4-1 now 5-1) beats #9 Ole Miss in OT. Score is 29-26. BK is 3-4 vs top 10 and 4-6 vs top 25.

• Week 8 - #8 LSU (6-1 now 6-2) loses to #14 Texas A&M. Score is 38-23 Yuck. BK is 3-4 vs top 10 and 4-7 vs top 25.

• Week 9 - #14 LSU (6-2 now 6-3) loses to #11 Bama. Score is 42-13 Yuck. BK is 3-4 vs top 10 and 4-8 vs top 25

• Week 10 - #21 LSU (6-3 now 6-4) loses to unranked Florida starting a true freshman at QB (Lagway). BK has now lost 2 games when ranked to unranked opponents.

2024 Summary - 3 - 4 vs top 10. 4-8 vs top 25 is not good enough. 2 losses when LSU is ranked to unranked opponents is horrible (A&M in 2023, Florida in 2024). LSU had a stretch where they lost 3 straight games. First time that’s happened since 2021… not a good sign. When we lose, we get smoked. Pretty much always a multiple score game. That is not good that we aren’t competitive in the games we lose. LSU ends year 9-4 and is unranked in final AP ranking. Here we are… 2025:

• Week 1 - #9 LSU (1-0) beats #4 Clemson. Score is 17-10. Clemson is currently 1-3. Fools gold win. BK is now 4-4 vs top 10 opponents and 5-8 vs top 25

• Week 5 - #4 LSU (4-0 now 4-1) loses to #13 Ole Miss. Score is 24-19. BK is now 4-4 vs top 10 (ole Miss is ranked in top 10 now so he’s lucky this isn’t on his record) and 5-9 vs top 25.

We still have to play.. South Carolina (mobile Qb which is our kryptonite), #18 Vandy (also mobile QB), #9 A&M (shocker… another mobile QB), Arkansas (I won’t count the out… SEC trap game), #17 Bama, and #7 Oklahoma. TLDR: BK has SUCKED vs ranked opponents and is 5-9 vs top 25. That is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. This is the gauntlet year for BK and to be honest.. how our team looks offensively, I don’t much faith. The data is scary. This is LSU where we compete for championships. He does have a 4-4 record vs top 10 but 1 win is against a bad Clemson team this year and the other is vs ole Miss in 2022 where they lot 5-6 next games.

Feels remarkably similar to the Les Miles era. Always said Les made 10 win seasons feel like 7 win seasons due to close victories against mid-tier teams with less talent but superior coaching.

Dude, I get you’re melting but stop this nonsense. Les Miles was incredibly frustrating to watch for most of the years he was here.

I’d actually prefer James Franklin. They literally never get upset. They just never beat teams that are more talented than them. we rarely beat teams that are more talented/as talented as us and lose 1 game a year that is just mind-boggling. Also, if you’re bored, go look at his record against top ten teams on the road (it’s comically bad)

Good stuff. Would love to know how it looks based on final rankings. The 2022 OM win and the Clemson win this year are obvious examples where the win doesn't look nearly as good at the end of the year. But wonder if there may be some that have gone the other way, too?? Where we beat a team that ends the year higher than when we played them.
