I don't know, based on an average of the 4 teams, bama is at 35, LSU is at 46.

So Alabama’s top 4 wins are less impressive than LSUs

Wlly, we both know that Polls are feelings acting as quasi-facts

Not according to the Analytics I posted or the Polls that you used as a retort (Both South Carolina and A&M are receiving votes while Duke is not)
Give me a little consistency here

Would you rather play #1, 2, 98, 99 or #48, 49, 51, 52? Which set are you more likely to win out against as a top five team?

So 2 of bamas 4 "toughest teams" are 2 teams LSU also plays? While Bama plays none of LSU's, especially Texas or Florida?

Florida’s back up put up 3 hundy plus on dbu. That would not happen vs Bama in Tuscaloosa

What a joke of an OP and pretty nerdy to research it that hard for something that will play out anyway

The 1st one obviously but that's not the question. The question is whether the comparison of 12 and @18 vs. @20 and @27 is the difference between murderer's row and "playing nothing but cupcakes"

Yeah but LSU doesn't have to play Bama's arch-nemesis Tennessee!!!

Like how you had to add “in Tuscaloosa” to make this work

I would post the goalpost moving gif but I’m feeling lazy

Bama's top two wins average rank is #23
LSU's top two wins average rank is #15
I would not consider that a very thin margin.

the Florida/lsu game was in Baton Rouge
Bama would not give up 300+ to Florida’s backup if they played at Bama
