LSU was 2nd in the SECW, they won the head to head tie breaker. End of year rank has nothing to do with where you finished in divisional standings(unless there's a 3 way tie)


There is no such thing as a tie breaker for second place in a division. Please show me the SEC bylaws. Tie breakers are for deciding divisional champs, thats it.

I don't understand why LSU fans constantly feel the need to brag about 2nd in the west, who gives a shite? Did you win the west? No. Then STFU.

In the end, people are gonna look back at last season and see that Alabama won the title, A&M finished top 5 with a freshman Heisman winner in their inaugural SEC season, and LSU choked against Clemson in their bowl game.

No one is gonna say, gee, I wonder who finished 2nd and 3rd in the west that year?

People only remember who wins the titles. Do you think anyone will remember Arkansas top 5 season a couple years ago?

20 years from now no one will care that A&M finished 5th in the nation. Who finished 5th in the nation 10 years ago? I sincerely doubt many people can answer that question. But yes, people will remember JF won the Heisman.

As for the the finishing 3rd in the west stat, that's totally true, but in reality who cares? A&M was obviously the de facto number 2 SEC team at the end of the season. We just say the whole 3rd in the west thing because you guys have gotten so damn cocky after just one season of success it's fun to try to bring you down a peg.

You guys had a great season last year and I'm glad most of you enjoyed it. However, if you guys have any delusions of grandeur about all of the sudden usurping Alabama as the best in the SEC, you are in for a rude awakening. See you guys on Sept. 14th!

I do agree with this, mostly. Nobody except the Aggies will remember a top 5 finish. People will remember Alabama's title and A&M's Heisman.
