Last year LSU played against a Florida team that wasn’t near as good as this years team. Same can be said for Ole Miss, Arky, A&M, etc. LSU played against a Bama team that was down by the Bama standard. Bama was playing defense with players that really needed a redshirt year but was pressed into action because that was all we had at the time. UGA was better this year when Bama played them than the 2019 team was that LSU beat. Anyway my point is most of you LSU fans get on here and talk about the greatest season this and that and how Burrow was the second coming but the same teams you guys beat last year all got better this season despite the pandemic. Mac Jones has matched Burrows season last year if not passed him by. And Jones didn’t have the benefit of playing 2 or 3 games against either Group of 5 teams or FCS teams. Jones had 10 SEC opponents to deal with. Plus in the playoff Bama won’t get the benefit of playing Chokelahoma in the Semifinals and if Bama plays against Clemson this year this Clemson team is miles better than last years team that LSU beat.

Irrelevant to the original question, which the board currently rates him as the GOAT deep ball thrower.

Yes he is. And it bothers everyone that's not Alabama that this seeming game manager is now among the best to go into the NFL. Amazing that if he wanted to, he could play 2 more years at Bama.

Do you think that Florida offense was better last year than this year?

The etc was some of the same teams that LSU played last year that got better this season.

Bama played UGA the 4 th game this year when they was still pretty much at full strength. The defense Jones played against was way better than the one Burrow played against in 2019. The offense was about the same for UGA but the UGA D this year started out as nasty as you can get until the injuries started to stack up.

Burrow still got 2 or 3 games against way overmatched teams that helped pad his stats. Jones had to do it all against SEC teams. Big difference in size and speed playing against SEC teams than a FCS team or a Group of 5 team.

Lastly the ND team this year is better than any playoff OU team. ND may have a rep for choking in big games but OU is the king of choking in the playoffs. And as far as Clemson goes this year I guess we will have to see if that game takes place. But if Clemson and Bama get it on this year fro the title Clemson will be better. Lawrence is a year better no doubt and that’s enough for any team to deal with.

you mean the 4 loss florida team that the worst LSU team in 25 years beat? The same florida team that got boat raced out of Jerry world last night? They were better this year than last year??

quote:

Easily debatable. Aggy is slightly better. Theyve taken advantage of the shite SEC this year

quote:

LSU played against a Bama team that was down by the Bama standard. Bama was playing defense with players that really needed a redshirt year but was pressed into action because that was all we had at the time.


Same can be said for LSU this year with all of the opt outs and frickery that is this season. Or does the same principle not count because its not bama? I have trouble with double standards....

quote:

UGA was better this year when Bama played them than the 2019 team was that LSU beat.


So the 7-2 2020 bulldogs that didnt even win the east (2nd to a 4 loss uf) is better than the 2019 sec east 12-2 champ?? Do you see how far you are reaching?


But since you want to use "when we played them" in your argument... point me to the 7 top 10 teams bama has on their 2020 schedule? Ill wait...


quote:

the same teams you guys beat last year all got better this season despite the pandemic


Its just false and an idiotic thing to say. The pandemic has also lended bama a nice advantage of not having to play any REAL road games this year. Lot easier playing in front of empty stadiums on the road.

quote:

And Jones didn’t have the benefit of playing 2 or 3 games against either Group of 5 teams or FCS teams.


If you care to pull the numbers and look at them separately, you'll find that Burrow performed better against P5 teams than the rest. I know thats probably not what you want to hear but its true

quote:

Jones had 10 SEC opponents to deal with.


again, that doesnt mean what you think it means this year

quote:

Plus in the playoff Bama won’t get the benefit of playing Chokelahoma in the Semifinals


Youre right, ND has just been a beacon of success when it comes to big time games. A real juggernaut.

quote:

if Bama plays against Clemson this year this Clemson team is miles better than last years team that LSU beat.


You realize they already have 1 loss right? The team LSU beat last year was coming in on a 29 game win streak and was a much better all around team.

You could make the same exact point about LSU last year. I see a lot of LSU fans calling that the greatest season in CFB history though. Bama actually played against better teams this year than LSU did last year though. Florida this year was miles better than 2019. So was A&M, Ole Miss, Arky, and a few more teams. Plus there was 10 SEC games this year.

To be fair, just about every Alabama poster is the same low IQ retard posting, so they all just sort of melt into one.

The facts support my argument. Bama has played against more improved teams than LSU played last year. Jones has played every bit as good as Burrow. Even better than Burrow on deep throws with his best deep threat taken away. The only conjecture about all this is that LSU had the greatest season in CFB history last season and that Joe Burrow was the greatest player ever to play the game like so many of you LSU trolls claim.

Lol, SoG. I asked a simple conversation starter.

So, unlike my lucky chair/shirt/drink/cup and breakfast routine, I can't affect a single play in a Bama game. But, that doesn't mean we should skip actual discussion until seasons end, whatever it may bring.
