Honestly, LSU has been pretty fortunate. One that sticks out in my mind,though was 1983, when LSU finished 2nd in the SEC. Even with our annual first game loss in the SEC-Tourney in that timeframe, the consensus was LSU was in ,even with the tourney at only 52 teams. Alabama and Tennessee who finished 7th and 8th in the SEC,but swept LSU that year,'took' LSU's place.
As for my 'team B', Vanderbilt,they truly did get screwed in 2000.
What say you ?

We were snubbed out of National Titles in 1929 & 1930. We went 19-1 both years.
Other than that, we have never been snubbed.

The SEC as a whole was snubbed by Arkansas when they lost to OSU

State basketball teams in 1959, 1961 and 1962. We got snubbed by our racist state government and governor and were not allowed to play in the NCAA's.

Football - 1966
Won NC's (arguably) in 1964 and 1965. Went 11-0 in 1966 while Michigan State and Notre Dame tied in the "greatest game ever".
Basketball - 00-01
Went 8-8 in the SEC. Started out 10-0 in non-conference. Lost at Cincinatti by 3 and beat Ohio State at home. Our bubble burst mainly because of late season blowouts on the road at Ole Miss and at Florida and a loss on the last home game of the season to Arkansas.
The team ultimately got beat in the finals of the NIT.

I'm not sure if this is a snub, I think it was more with the rules of the time but in 1970 our basketball team was 25-3 (14-0 in ACC play) lost in the conference title game and didn't get in. Also couldn't get into the NIT because we were hosting it or something so we had that record and no post-season play.

I'm not sure about snubbed in terms of being left out, but we got screwed in 2007-2008. Should have been a one seed, but received by far the worst 2 seed instead.

In football,
we were 7-4 in 2001 in Eli's soph year and didnt get a bowl invite. Bama, who we beat, got the Indy bid over us. Still chaps my arse bc we had a solid team that year. Barely lost to Aub and whooped LSU in DV.
