It’s the principle that a team could win no games and still make a bowl in the 2020 season



Bowl games are all but meaningless now anyway. Who cares if a winless team goes to a bowl game? That's essentially what happens now anyway. 6-6 teams don't belong in bowl games, let alone 0-10 teams.

Played against depleted rosters in a Covid-19 season. They didn’t report players who tested positive either, only coaches.

accusing others of ignoring context


I mean, this is just unbelievable. I feel like I’m talking to toddlers.

You do realize not every single team in the country was bowl eligible during the 2019 season that 2019 LSU played in, right?

Please explain to me how it makes sense that you’re using a qualifier (the SEC bowl record) that literally no other CFP era team can use lmfao

I mean, when you try make the SEC you played in look impressive by bringing up the conference record

A team like 3-7 Ole Miss couldn’t make a bowl in the season that 2019 LSU played. A team like 3-7 Ole Miss could make a bowl in a season 2020 Alabama played. Therefore, it’s absolutely retarded to use 3-7 Ole Miss’s bowl performance to prop up the version of the SEC that 2020 Alabama played

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Is this much of a hard concept to grasp for your fanbase?

Because games were played and games are data

We use the bowl record to contradict claims that 1) 2020 Alabama wasnt an all-time great team and B) That the SEC was significantly down. Not saying you made either of those claims, but whoever did is clearly using the results of the 2020 season to come to that conclusion. So we do the same in response.

It's a good thing Ole Miss didn't go 3-7 then. They went 5-5. Had they played a normal season, it's likely they finish 8-4 or 7-5 depending on the make-up of their SEC schedule. You keep forgetting that these teams played an all-SEC schedule. In most other years, you can add two or three victories due to cream puffs and an easier conference schedule.

Bama took on all the best teams in the SEC had to offer *10 games* and won every one of them. Quickly dispensed of what was consider the best outta conference teams. Who can really argue with that statement?

Point still stands


A 1-9 team was bowl eligible in 2020. Not possible in literally any other college football season. Using an asterisk bowl season record that doesn’t occur in normal seasons to compare your team’s schedule to the schedule other teams who played in normal seasons had to play is still retarded

Replace NW State and Utah State with any SEC team from 2019 and sit here and tell me 2019 LSU wouldn’t have handled them just as well

I can’t tell if the posters on the SECr are being serious when they act the 2020 version of the SEC was some challenging gauntlet that LSU from 2019 couldn’t handle

The two teams Alabama added to their original schedule were Missouri and Kentucky.

@ 2019 Texas was a tougher game than 2020 Missouri and Kentucky was no better than a typical OOC cupcake when Alabama played them. Had a good bit of players out due to Covid.

Besides that, 4 of Alabama's 11 SEC opponents had winning records in conference compared to 4 of 2019 LSU's 9 SEC opponents having a winning record in conference.

Bammers are trashing the OOC cupcake thing while simultaneously pretending that playing Mizzou and Covid depleted Kentucky was better.

Between begging for a chart between these 2 teams just minutes after the NCG and this being like your 5th or 6th thread on this topic, why are you such an insecure little guy over this?

They are seriously braindead individuals that sound like broken records with the predictable replies.

How much are you willing to bet I will get a response to my “15>13” post with something along the lines of “durrr Utah State. Durrr NW State” when you can apply that literal same argument to LSU having 2 less SEC games that they would have won anyways because LSU beat the best conference teams in 2019 anyways

At the end of the day the Corndogs can come on here cry beg and gnash their tooth (yes tooth) all they want, they don't matter.

People that do this for a living, that do matter, know which team was best, and it wasn't the Headsucking Bengals.

There it is. That’s usually how this argument ends. With a Bama fan conceding with a bunch of facts throw in his face

Yeah the random writer who makes shitty lists behind a paywall. Is Baker Mayfield the greatest CFB Qb of the last 2 decades? You know, since Brian Connely (whoever tf that is) gets paid and “matters” and his lists are sooo factual.
