Right now, today, after everything has played out, A&M has got to be on top. Granted, LSU beat us but we just rolled into Tuscaloosa and beat Bama, do you honestly believe (LSU) that you would beat us again at this point. A&M is peaking and is arguably the best team in the country.

I'd love to hear your reasoning. I'll hang up and listen.


If Bama played TAMU on a neutral field next week, I'd handicap the game Bama-5.5

If LSU played TAMU on a neutral field next week, I'd handicap the game TAMU-2.5

If Bama played LSU on a neutral field next week, I'd handicap the game Bama-8.5.

Why do I put LSU on the bottom? Because y'all are the worst of the three. You think Bama beats dogtrash Auburn by two points? You think Johnny fricking Football drops something less than 50 points on dogtrash Auburn? Of course not. And why? Because LSU has the worst offense of the bunch. And scoring points is arguably a crucial component of winning games.

What I know for a fact is that margin of victory matters. Literally, MOV has a great deal of predictive value. Pulling out close games isn't a skill. Teams pull out close games only because they aren't good enough to beat the frick out of them. And y'all aren't good enough to beat the frick out of seemingly anybody other than Washington U.

And fwiw, I actually like LSU better than the other two squads. I just don't think y'all are very good this year.

Shall you retort? I'll hang up and listen.

With 2 loses, both at home?

Yup, our offense is improving also.

that aggie went full retard saying we're the best in the land, don't let that derail the thread.

as to the UT guy, I'm not arguing transitive property, I'm saying the #3 point is asking the question is LSU #1 or is LSU #3 because I think aTm after tonight has shown as between the 3 it is #2

Oh, I get it. Rock beats scissors, so rock has to be ahead of scissors. So the only question is whether paper is #1 or #3.


Brilliant!

I'm not trying to be a dick, but do you see the problem? When you have a circular beatpath, you can't cherry pick a h2h result.

Just use my rationale above. It's the only one so far in the thread that isn't merely an unsupported conclusion.

Lets put it this way: A&M has had double-digit leads over both these teams. Barely lost to LSU. We're either #1 or #2
