I'm not counting this as a gimme either, but basing anything about this years matchup on our historical record against LSU is equally dumb. You can maybe look at the last 3-4 years to see how teams have matched up, but even then there's so many variables that change from year to year. Do I think their recent dominance over us caused their players to overlook us a bit last year? Sure, it was a factor, but we utterly dominated them in evey way.
The fact that they handled us pretty easily between 1999-2014 does not give them any type of edge this year. Past "luck" has no impact...That's a classic gambler's fallacy. It's our current players and coaches against theirs and I think most people are looking at that and like our chances on that basis.
