This cant really be true huh?

They lost 3 in 2010, to LSU in 2011, and to A&M last year. No idea about only 4 wins but they seemed to avoid the east big boys

Permanent opponents and bridge schedules. Why do you think LSU has been pitching a fit?

And 3 of those losses game in 2010.

Not our fault any of you frickers in the lower tier of the SEC west can finish a season ranked.

Already have 2 wins over ranked teams this season

Wow, we have just as many wins and two of those years were spent in the Big 12
