re: SEC teams by unranked losses and ranked wins...

Vandy was ranked 24th when we beat them at their place.

Are you sure LSU wasn't ranked when the refs gave them that game in WB?

List is by current rankings. Rankings at the time of the game are meaningless.

FSU was ranked 10th in the nation when GT beat them to open the season. FSU is 2-9 right now. It's silly to count that as a ranked win for GT because the ranking wasn't right.

That might the dumbest thing ive ever read on the Rant and there are some absolutely terrible takes.

Texas who is what 23-3 the past couple seasons who recruits ad a top 5 program is the same as Mizzou lololololol. Either a bad troll or truly fricking stupid

---

Mizzou is 19-5 compared to 23-3 for TExas and has played more ranked opponents the last two years.

This year neither has beaten a ranked team nor lost to an unranked team. Mizzou has just played more ranked teams.

I'm sorry you don't like what the stats are saying... but right now the stats are saying Texas = Mizzou.

Also, the problem at looking at the time of game is that it's an issue to say that a game against the same team is ranked for one team who played them but not for another playing the exact same team in the exact same year.

Like why would SC not be a ranked win for Ole Miss, Bama or LSU but would be a ranked loss for Mizzou? They all played the same team... South Carolina. The fact SC's schedule was front loaded shouldn't impact the teams based on if they played them early or late in the year.

1 team is about to make back to back playoffs, the other has never made it.

Find me a statistic that Mizzou is doing better than Texas? Btw Texas SoS is better than Mizzou the past 2 years, more wins, better offense and defense.

Also 2023 Texas beat 5 teams ranked in the final Ap top 25 to 3 for Mizzou and neither has a top 25 win this year, so again quit lying and trolling like an idiot

I don't believe I said Mizzou > Texas.

I said Mizzou = Texas.

The stat that shows that is that both teams have lost to every team currently ranked that they've played this year and beaten every unranked team they've played.

Right now Texas and Mizzou have the same resume this season. Sucky against ranked teams, good against unranked teams and a close shave vs Vandy.

The only reason Texas is ranked higher is that they've played 1 ranked team and Mizzou's played 3.

If you truly believe Texas = Mizzou you are nuts. Texas would be a double digit favorite over Mizzou.

Margin of victory should matter, also you clearly didn't watch the Texas vandy game if you think that was a 3pt game. Mizzou beat vandy in double ot at home, played a laughable non con, and have been smoked in almost every loss. The Texas Georgia game was a one possession in the 4th and if dawgs don't complete a long 3rd down and punt Texas could have tied the game. Georgia won that game and caused a lot of our 7 turnovers so taking nothing away but you are nuts to call
Mizzou = to Texas.

Every rating system for offensive, defensive, etc has Texas ahead of Mizzou.

I would welcome playing Bama, tenn, lsu, etc but I didnt make the schedule. Standing on this will narrative that Texas couldn't best a ranked team just because they played one in the current poll is ridiculous. We are the only team that plays 3 rivalry games this year
And one of the few sec teams that actually tries to schedule and ooc quality opponent. Mizzou has none of those going for them. In fact they have lost 2 more games than Texas.

If we best ATM (which is our 3rd Road/neutral rivavly game this year) I can't wait to play Georgia again.

Does the ENTIRE conference really have exactly ONE nonconference ranked win?

Nope, twice that per the OP.

Georgia over Clemson
OU over Tulane

The fact that OU is #2 in this metric after the shitshow of a season we’ve had just shows how dumb it is to ignore ranked losses—like they somehow don’t count because the other team is ranked. Why would our awful loss to a shite Mizzou team not count against us?

You just made my point.

Is Indiana a Top 10 team?

No, but why?

Because they've played no one except OSU who promptly bent them over and went in dry.

Is Indiana a better team than LSU? Better than Ole Miss? Better than SC? Better than Mizzou? Better than Vandy even?

Heck no, but guess what, they're ranked higher thus proving you're "ranked teams" metric really doesn't work.

Now if we really wanna have a football discussion where we compare SEC teams .... we'd do it by a SOS metric combined with the W-L, Home vs Away, etc. Would probably make for a damn decent Venn Diagram.
