its even more funny when you consider the same LSU posters who are acting like head to head and conference standings dont matter when compared to overall record and ranking and bowl games mysteriously felt the exact opposite in regards to LSUs and A&Ms respective 2012 seasons

enlighten me. I clearly said Florida players last year and this year...I provided you with a link backing up what I said.

Perhaps it is your reading comprehension that needs a check up?

I have done it once for you. Let me do it again, here is the complete thought:

Doesn't everybody do it? I mean Florida football players said they had the better team last year after our game.

Motivated reasoning is the primary force for subjective football discussions. And the driving force for voters as well as fans.

For a fan its whichever argument defends their team better. For a voter its whichever argument better suits the team with more recent success.

The difference between LSU/A&M is that we played Clemson this year. Actually, I think both teams are incredibly well-matched, but final standings - A&M finished second in the West due to beating LSU

Ahead of schedule ..

Internet message boards are just cherry picking stats and talking points to talk shite, not have a legitimate discussion.

This this this this.

Does anybody really take anything said here seriously?

Show me a single UF poster who said we were still the better team last year.



Maybe this is the disconnect? I didn't say "Florida posters" did that last year. I said everybody does that....and Florida football players did it last year.

Doesn't everybody do it? I mean Florida football players said they had the better team last year after our game.

You just keep doing you and thinking that 19 points is domination but 20 points is a fluke.

No I'm not. You are. For two days we have been going back and forth on something, and when I spell it out for you, you want to change the subject.

I already said all fan bases do what you are saying.

Let me spell it out for you again. Korin:Y'all do the same thing though. "A 19 point win is domination but a 20 point win is a fluke."

Dawgslife:Doesn't everybody do it? I mean Florida football players said they had the better team last year after our game.

We're just wondering why you still won't answer the original question. How can 19 points be domination but 20 points be a fluke?

That wasn't the original question! the original question was:
Is it more important to beat a team head to head, or have a better season than them?

Korin....it's time for you to drop out of the thread.

ETA
However, if you insist on an answer to your question...show me where I said that.

I never said they did. I said Florida football players did. Do we have to go through this again? I have copied and pasted it over and over again.

Here it is for you.....again!
I mean Florida football players said they had the better team last year after our game.
