Notes

  1. 1 2 Tulane having fielded an ineligible player in its victory over LSU. At the time that the game was declared forfeit, Tulane was leading with a score of 2–0. Due to the forfeiture, the official score was set at LSU 6, Tulane 0 by the game's referee. In addition to the forfeiture, Tulane was further sanctioned by the SIAA by being barred from fielding a team in intercollegiate play for the 1897 season.
  2. 1 2 The season's edition of the Battle for the Rag against LSU was originally a 22–0 victory for Tulane. The Tigers protested the game to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA), and alleged that Tulane had used a professional player during the game. Several months later, the SIAA ruled the game an 11–0 forfeit in favor of LSU.
  3. ↑ Despite a single conference loss to Vanderbilt, the 1902 LSU team claimed an SIAA co-championship with undefeated Clemson.
  4. 1 2 3 John W. Mayhew, a former halfback at Brown, took over as coach for former Vanderbilt lineman Joe Pritchard midway through the season and coached the final three games.
  5. 1 2 3 MacDonnell coached the first five games of the season, Irving Pray coached games six and seven, and Dana X. Bible coached the final three games.
  6. ↑ Florida was assessed a postseason ban following an NCAA investigation, and the SEC subsequently vacated any championship. The Sugar Bowl automatic bid for the conference champion was awarded to LSU. Under modern rules, LSU would be credited with the conference championship.
  7. 1 2 3 Gerry DiNardo served as LSU's head coach for the first ten games of the 1999 season before he was fired. Hal Hunter was appointed interim head coach for the final game of the season. LSU finished the year with an overall record of 3–8 and a mark of 1–7 in conference play.
  8. ↑ In 2002, Alabama finished first in Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with a conference record of 6–2, but was ineligible for the division title or postseason play as part of a penalty for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) violations. LSU, Arkansas, and Auburn tied for second place, each with a 5–3 mark in the conference, and were named co-champions. Arkansas was awarded a berth in the SEC Championship Game by virtue of their head-to-head wins over Auburn and LSU.
  9. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 LSU vacated all 37 wins from the 2012-15 seasons due to NCAA punishment for an ineligible player.
  10. 1 2 3 Miles was fired after the first four games of the 2016 season. Ed Orgeron served as interim head coach for the remainder of the regular season and was promoted to head coach on a permanent basis on November 26. LSU finished the year with an overall record of 8–4 and a mark of 5–3 in conference play.
  11. ↑ On December 9, LSU announced a self-imposed bowl ban for the 2020 season. Although the Tigers did not finish the season with six wins, the NCAA removed bowl eligibility requirements for the 2020 bowl season. This self-imposed bowl ban was enacted due to an NCAA investigation at LSU over allegations of improper booster payments to their players.
  12. 1 2 They were led by sixth-year head coach Ed Orgeron, who left the program at the conclusion of the regular season. The Tigers ended their season by playing Kansas State in the Texas Bowl, where they were led by interim head coach Brad Davis.
