A lot of schools in the SEC haven’t gotten to play that cakewalk schedule. Big difference pal.

Anytime they have played a legit team recently they get steamrolled.

They have not been one of the handful of elite teams nationally, but they've been very good.

2022 - #10 FSU (L)
2021 - #22 Oregon (W)
2019 - #1 LSU (L)
2018 - #1 Alabama (L), #19 Army (W)
2017 - #3 Georgia (L), @ #5 Ohio State (W)
2016 - #6 Ohio State (L), #24 Auburn (W)
2015 - #1 Clemson (L), @ #22 Tennessee (W)
2014 - #17 Clemson (L)
2013 - #7 Alabama (W), @ #20 Notre Dame (W)
2012 - #2 Notre Dame (L), #5 Texas A&M (L)

Over the last 10 years they are 1-6 vs non-Big XII teams that finished in the Top 5. They are 6-2 vs non-Big XII teams that finished between #6 and #25.

That's a very good program that isn't quite elite of the elite. Certainly not a terrible one propped up by a weak league that would go 7-5 elsewhere.

All 5 of those losses since 2015 outside of a subpar team last year are to Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State and 2019 LSU. Ain't a lot of other programs beating those teams in those years, either.

Thanks for the unbiased snapshot of our program. We’ve been very good against everyone but a handful of the elite teams.

You did forget our loss to #10 FSU in the bowl game last year, but we also played them super close with like half of our team so I’m not sure it doesn’t actually help our resume.
