Your Little Brother is showing.
If you think Texas is rolling out the same team now that they did in Week 2, you just can't be helped.

According to the link I posted Clemson’s SOS is better than LSU’s and not far behind Alabama’s at this point in the season.

Strength of Record is more important.

Tried to tell you it wasn't a good win, but you wouldn't listen. Texas has had the worst secondary in all of P5 the last two years, and it isn't getting better. Kind of like LSU's come to think of it

Maybe, but LSU's Strength of Record is vastly superior to Clemson's. It's not just how strong the teams you play are (SOS) it's how you did against those teams (SOR). Lsu = #1 Clemson = #8. That's the stat that matters.
The fact that Clemson is #8 shows you that even if you win out, you don't deserve a playoff bid.

You can't possibly be that stupid.
Can you?

Ok, apparently you can.

Since when is Texas a quality win this year? Have you watched them? Their defense is beyond pathetic, with a new low against Kansas last weekend. They are going to lose to Baylor, and possibly ISU
Texas is 5-2, not 2-5 or 3-4. They are down 3 starting DB's from when they played LSU.

I'm sorry math is hard for you. They're right of ESPN's site. The top 3 teams with regards to strength of record are
LSU 1
Alabama 2
Florida 3
My kid learned to count to 3 in preschool. They don't teach that at Bama?
SOR: Strength of record - Reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would have team's record or better, given the schedule.

No it’s just hilarious because they constantly bash our schedule and claim they should be #1.

5* DB's that haven't a clue how to cover or tackle - don't feel sorry for them. And they are down 5-2 in the Big12 - that's equivalent to 3-4 in any decent conference

Well I agree that have not played well, but all those guys are talented. Maybe DC Orlando is getting pressure over in Austin. I wouldn't know that as I do not have the Longhorn network but this from what I have read is statistically the worst pass defense in the history of Texas football. So if those guys are talented, and they are, then that is on the Coaches.
At this point, even if they get those starting 3 DB's back, not much you can do to fix the D, so my guess is Herman is going to ride Sam Ehlinger and try to outscore everyone. Not a Texas fan, but I hope they run the table for obvious reasons, i.e. it helps LSU's resume.

Why'd you edit?
SOR is a different calculation than SOS. If there are two undefeated teams, the team with the higher SOS does not necessarily have the higher SOR.
Here's an example. Let's say two teams are undefeated through 5 games.
Team A has played teams ranked 22nd, 38th, 40th, 43rd, and 45th. Their SOS is going to be based on the average rank of their opponents, which is 37.6
Team B has played teams ranked 5th, 7th, 19th, 97th, and 121st. Their average opponent rank is 49.8.
While Team B's SOS is worse than Team A's, their SOR is likely higher, because it's more difficult to go undefeated against the 5th, 7th, and 19th ranked teams than it is to go undefeated against a bunch of mediocre teams.

In the time it took you to type that, Trevor Lawrence threw another interception...
