Hot take...part of the reason they are elite and in the top 10 is because they beat mizzou. If mizzou wins those games, they don't finish in the Top 10. Top 25 is more accurate because it has more fluctuation room when teams lose.
Yeah but they don't win those games, NONE OF THEM. Top 25 is not more accurate because there are some pretty bad teams in the top 25. Wins against top 10 finishing teams, is way better at determining how good your team is.

still counts". They were undefeated national champs...easy schedule or not. Would you rather have tough schedule and go 8-4? If we are looking objectively since our arrival...
only Alabama and Auburn have any claim to talking shite. They are the only teams who have achieved more than us in our 3-year old SEC life.
Who's talking shite? All am saying is that as a team, you have been overrated. It shows, every single time, when you play a team that you should be on their level.
Winning is all that matters and you should be proud of that, but it still doesn't take away the fact that faced against another great team, you lose, and usually very bad.

Let's use 2013. South Carolina beats Mizzou in OT and ends up in Top 5. If Mizzou wins that game, combined with other losses, does South Carolina end up in the Top 10? Not a slight to SC, but I don't think they would with a 3 loss season. It is just a terrible way of trying to compare teams, especially when the difference between #9 vs #17 might only be AP writers opinions.

I don't think we have been overrated...we typically lose to teams ranked higher...that is what should happen. Otherwise, they are called "upsets." Pre-season polls typically have us lower than our finish....so I would call us underrated?

I'm not sure what you are referring to. The Auburn SECCG was much closer than the score appears. Georgia was a Mauk brain explosion. Alabama was better than us in almost every way last season, the should have beat us. I was happy with the fact that we got it back to single digits in the 2nd half.
Indiana was an inexcusable loss. Is that your basis for "overrated"?
