re: Updated SEC unit rankings through Week9

I would argue that the Arkansas defense has played better than 10th in the conference. But they've been hung out to dry and left on the field so often this season its just silly.

Our offense is consumed with finding something that works, and then making sure we don't make the mistake of doing that for the rest of the game. Meanwhile cutesy shite that results in catastrophes at the worst time is our stock in trade.

We are the mirror version of last season's team. There the offense was good (though it completely disintegrated in the second half) and the defense was terrible. Here the defense is good (though it gets worn down in the second half) while our offense is terrible.

Bama has no chance

Every stat you reference (and 7,999 other stats) were posted in the link…Every single one.

And FWIW, you must not know the history and agenda of the 2 other triggered posters on Page1 very well… they are most certainly not posting constructive feedback and suggestions.

Anywho… as always, the stats are the stats. I always find it entertaining to see who gets triggered by them. It’s usually a select few and usually from the same 3 fanbases … go figure. I don’t create the stats, I merely link them for all to see… same time, same day, every week.

LSU has played two ranked teams (per today's AP poll). LSU has lost both of them.

There it is. The obligatory "LSU hasn't played anybody" as if we haven't had opponent adjusted stats for years. Honestly, I'm just surprised it took rant@rds this long to say it

Those stats are part of why FPI/SP+/Sagarin love LSU. Moronic human polls go by the old "eye test."

It's always fascinating when rant@rds say "LSU sucks" but then don't give their prediction. So, who wins 11/7?
