I do not see the issue hear, unless LSU fans are now telling me it is harder to compete in the Big 12 vs the SEC. If so you may want to go watch another sport.

So lets see here regarding teams that are currently ranked or were ranked at the time of the game being played

OSU vs aTm(6-6)
OSU vs Texas(7-4)
OSU vs Missouri(7-5)
OSU vs Baylor(8-3)
OSU vs Kansas State(9-2)

Lost to ISU(6-5)

Now Baylor plays Texas so one of them will have atleast one more loss.

UA vs Penn State(9-3)
UA vs Ark(10-2)
UA vs UF(6-6)
UA vs AU(7-5)

Lost to #1 LSU(12-0)

So they have played 1 more team that is/were slashed rank. Will play OU this week but still where are we getting they will have played twice as many.

Also sorry but Mizzou and aTm will do far worse than UF or AU in the SEC. Texas and Baylor would struggle to become bowl eligible in the conference. Just because AU and UF are not currently ranked does not mean they are not the same quality as alot fo those teams OSU plays. UF, Ark, and AU had to play LSU and UA. Which the Big 12 has nothing to compare to those 2.

It is a sad day when SEC fans are saying the Big 12 is better than the SEC.

Average defense Okie St played against was 79th in scoring defense. 42nd for Bama. Bama won their games by a margin of 28 on average, Okie St... by a margin of 22 on average.

You obviously havent watched college football outside of the SEC. RGIII is the best player in college football and just because traditionally UF and AU are better doesnt mean THIS Year they are. You are going off past accolades rather than current performance.

My point was that UF and AU have just as good of records as some of the big wins OSU is claiming.

The only two worthy defenses Bama played, they struggled against! Fact!

You said Baylor would struggle to become bowl eligible. You lost all credibility.

This year? You may want to watch some of these abysmal SEC teams not named LSU or Bama

How bout you recognize, Bama played better defenses and won by larger margins, than Okie St did. When 1/4th of your schedule is ranked 108th in scoring defense, or worse, you're going to have inflated numbers.

Of course they are. Whatever they have to do to avoid facing Bama again.

Conversely, Bama and the rest of the SEC gets to play against quarterbacks that mostly wouldn't start in Texas 5A high school ball - it works both ways

Since you cant do it here it is-I read it on CFN today- it shocking how overrated bamas defense is

The offensive ranks of Alabama's FBS opponents (out of 120): Kent State 120, Penn State 94, North Texas 103, Arkansas 28, Florida 101, Vanderbilt 96, Ole Miss 115, Tennessee 102, LSU 62, Mississippi State 87, Auburn 104. Average: 92. In other words, Alabama's D faced just one offense this year ranked in the top 60.

Plain and simple after this coming weekend Mizzou(7-5), Texas(7-5), and aTm(6-6)which is what so many on here are claiming is great wins against great teams. Sorry I disagree.

In the final BCS poll OSU will have either 2or 3 (depending on if they beat OU) quality wins. UA will have 2. How that calculates out to twice as many I am confused or how they have such a great resume baffles me.

Are you saying LSU fans get to decide who we want to play?!

Seriously, I think head to head, Bama would beat OSU by 10+ - but y'all haven't and won't play, so all we can do is compare resumes. Their resume is not much below yours, regardless of what all your pals on Tidefans tell you.

imo, bama would absolutely skull frick OSU on the football field. your defense would greatly limit their points and they have no defense so it wouldn't even be a game. Same with LSU. i think SOME lsu fans want just want to play the easiest opponent and don't want ot play y'all again because you have a better chance of beating us than OSU or VT or whomever. i think OSU has a strong SOS because the calculation that does that is flawed. it favors playing mid level teams with easy schedules and that's what the hell a lot of teams do. i'm just calling a spade a spade. we're probably going to end up playing y'all again; you are lucky to get a second chance but you are also the second best team in the land. so, here's to a good rematch.

OSU would beat AU by at least 3O. I would hate to play them seeing what UGA LSU and BAma did to AU
