The point is, which you have trouble grasping, is when you play in a league that is of higher quality your stats go down.


Sounds great - nobody has played more than 1 or 2 games max in their leagues yet, so that is irrelevant.

Like, for instance, LSU played the hardest and best D's to this point.


What in the frick does LSU's offensive performances have to do with a thread about SEC defenses?

Why do you keep talking about "beating" other teams? I didn't say they were a bottom 1/3 TEAM I said they were a bottom 1/3 OFFENSE.

Their defense stinks.



Because the D's in the SEC are so good it would make their offense look about like you guys did. If you think they would be ranked #30 in a full year of SEC play you just aren't being objective.

Power 5 is the objective way to view it. Which is what most people do.

Buyt some teams have played better and "more" power 5 schools to this point.

SO yes, it is relevant.

That quality of opponent matters when reviewing early season stats.

You should really watch more SEC football. Outside of a handful of us (Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, maybe Mississippi State, maybe Vanderbilt) the league has a lot of average to bad defenses that get lit up by non-P5 teams quite frequently.

If you don't think Arkansas State would have success on offense against Ole Miss, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and the like you are fooling yourself.

Never said they wouldn't have success, but they would be much worse than #30 in total offense.

Uhhu, but you are talking about the fact that LSU has played good defenses. This is a thread about SEC defenses, meaning the quality of the opposing offense is what matters.

Again, you are just rambling around throwing shite against a wall.



Alabama's offense has not played a quality defense yet. FACT.

Alabama's defense has played 1 very solid offense, 1 average offense and 1 terrible offense. FACT.

Stop making sense. This is the RANT. Common sense has no place here.

Correct, they would be around 65th, which is where they are on ESPN FPI right now. An "average" offense.

I'd worry about not going 0-8 again buddy. This is the last week anyone talks about UT outside of if they cover the +20 spread.


You wonder if Tennessee will have any players left after that gambit.

This is an SEC defense stats thread bro


You do realize that UT is no longer relevant in the SEC, right? We bring much more to the conference than you guys. It’s about time we cut the dead weight.
