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.


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.

Who's talking shite? All am saying is that as a team, you have been overrated.


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"?
