True this team is good enough to win a Natty. And to the Buckeye this defense is good enough to beat OSU. I've watched them on 3 different occasions.

Was it disappointing for Bama greatest team of all time to get dickslapped by Clemson for the National Championship?

Even IF Bama would have beaten LSU, Ohio State was still going to win the Championship. They are just heads and shoulders above everyone else this year.

2017:
9-4
3rd in SECw
#18 in final AP poll
#15 recruiting class

2018:
10-3
3rd in SECw
#6 in final AP poll
#5 recruiting class

2019 (current):
9-0
1st in SECw
#1 in AP poll
#2 recruiting class

2019 (projections):
12-2 (worst) / 14-0 (best)
SECw division title (worst) / SEC champs (best)
Top 6 AP finish (worst) / #1 national champs (best)
Top 5 recruiting class (worst) / #1 recruiting class (best)

Anyone who calls that a disappointing year 3 under Orgeron is losing sight of the larger goal: bringing LSU back to our 2003-2011 stature as a program.

Nah. Not making the playoffs for some reason would be a disappointment. At the very least, this year has proven that LSU is “back” at the elite level and our offense has finally changed. I think the whole fan base is backing this team and coach now. Coach O has done a great job.

Don’t care, Bama’s Saturday was a disappointment.

That’s all that matters on Monday November 11th.

It would be a bittersweetly successful season. Obviously, the next goal is to win the SEC and then the natty. Coming up short would be disappointing, but not devastating. It would be like 2005 and 2006 again.

Unless we have a total breakdown and lose 2 of our last 3, it is already a success.

That being said, now that we are where we are, I would be disappointed if we don’t win a championship. My disappointment won’t mean the season was not a success.

Good question, but believe LSU plays Ole Miss this weekend

If you look at the way we are recruiting and the staff we have assembled the future is bright. This isn't a once in a lifetime season. Clearly we will lose a lot at qb but I'm not sure any other position group is going to be worse next year. And several will be improved.

Not if they make the championship game. Establish its rightful spot as king of the SEC, win a semi-final game. I’d call it a successful season.

Nope. Beat Bama, win SEC, make playoffs. I’d never complain about that

Being realistic, I don’t think LSU has enough defense this year to beat Ohio State in a playoff game. It is what it is

If LSU doesn't win it all it would be disappointing but the season wouldn't be a disappointment. Would anyone expect the 180 change vs. last year?

There's still a lot of season left to play out. Their D could get better than it has been which has held up when it needed to the most. And if that happens and their offense continues to click, good luck for the teams in the playoff. Their offense, to my knowledge, hasn't stumbled yet. Burrow has like an 80% completion percentage. So there could be an off day with Burrow being off target or receivers dropping balls--seems unlikely but possible. Their offensive stumble to date would be what--lack of scoring vs. Auburn? Where they still racked up 500+ yards.

Been a helluva season and unless the wheels fall off, hard to say it's a disappointment.

The first big step was made. The second will be winning the Recruiting battle.
If we can do this, the championships will fall even if they do not this year.

No
The fact that LSU is back on equal footing with Bama is more important.
It means LSU can put themselves in position to compete for championships.
You still need a little luck along the way and avoid key injuries and have things fall your way to win a national title.
Now, LSU needs Tenn and other sec teams to step up their game to make it harder for Bama to steamroll through the conference like they've been doing the last decade and every year gets the SEC closer to getting Saban out of the conference for good.

Absolutely not a disappointment. The offense has FINALLY caught up with the rest of the football world, and Coach O is recruiting extremely well. He also retained and hired excellent assistant coaches. The future is very bright for LSU football.
