What kept them from blowing out Auburn in a real life game? Didn't Auburn have 0 yards or something in the 4th quarter? And you only won by one score still? aTm isn't very good either. Hate to break it to you. Auburn is garbage and you struggled at home with them.


We put up 416 yards of offense on your sorry arse team. You are a moron.

A much worse Oklahoma team beat Auburn on the road last year so not sure that holds water.


that game was the FLUKE of the year. Auburn dominated y'all but their new kicker couldnt figure out hiw to
kick FGs.

The OP sounds like a prototype fan of a team that isn't doing as well as expected and is jealous as all billy hell of OU.

He typed out a covert 6000 word essay to dance around the issue but I smelt that rat from a mile away.

only one problem with your logic OU totally dominated the Michigan game OU should of won by 28 points. The other game our qb got hurt 8 minutes into the game. We would of won that by way more also.

A&M has experienced O-Line. 2nd year of head coach that appears to have his shite together. Not really surprising except they struck gold with the WR transfers. This is a concern bc Moss is a stud at RB.

Ole Miss and Lane winning a big game. Not surprising. Him not dropping one he should not be a surprise. TBD if that occurs.

Tenn offense being solid. Pleasant surprise. TBD if they are as good as they have looked bc the Georgia defense is not close to what it used to be, how about a sack every now and then.

OU had solid defense last year. BV is a great defensive coach. Arnold made their offense a train wreck last year and Auburn's this year. I think Mateer is masking their O-Line issues that will come to light more if he stays out.

The real surprises. Texas offense is hot garbage, why did Simpson not start last season, Mizzou running back is a stud, Vandy appears to be the real deal this season.

You wrote this thesis only to come to the wrong conclusion that home field advantage is worth 14 points (somebody inform Vegas) and to just talk shite about schedules and give us the insightful notion that no one has proven anything yet less than halfway into the season. Riveting stuff.

Tenn and Ole Miss somehow play a 2024 Texas level cupcake schedule this year. Ole Miss has just 3 ranked opponents (that's really bad), and Tenn just 4 ranked opponents, when most SEC teams have 6 or more.


Ole Miss has 2 of its 3 SEC wins, one against a top 5 ranked LSU, with a BACKUP QB and you are trying to write us off as having an easy path

Sorry we can’t schedule ourselves. It’s not our fault everyone else sucks at recruiting and managing rosters in the portal era.

Oh, I don't know dan....maybe it was all those times the Ags shot themselves in the dick during the game.
13 penalties certainly didn't help.

Dumbass.

So you're not very good? That's all you had to say. I bet Auburn could come up with a few excuses too on why they played bad as well.

That’s easy. Refs called back three touchdowns. One of which indirectly led to yall getting your only td of the game.

We still coasted and won

I didn't watch the game. I was playing golf. It was an amazing day for golf here in central NC. Beautiful. Have an 8:10 tee time tomorrow. Going to be another gorgeous day for golf tomorrow. Bryan Park Players Course.

Saw the score of the aTm and Auburn game. It was close.

If played at Texas, I have no doubt Texas would win it. Since it's at Florida, I give it a 50/50 shot. An easy 10+ pt swing is how I at least see it.
that 10 pt home advantage swing really showed when Florida lost at home by 2 against usf as 17.5 point favorites

Whatever helps you sleep at night. They kicked your arse and refs helped you keep it close as far as the score. SEC making amends from the week prior when the refs hosed you.

Yeah, since 2002 LSU is 16-8 including this year against their cupcake permanent East rival.


Which has nothing to do with the subject at hand. But thanks for playing.
