I'd like to know who is funding auburn. Its got to be someone with some serious bank that wants to dump it into a black hole with no hope of return.

When you've had 4 losing seasons in a row it's easy to sucker boosters into going "all in."

This is a pure, authentic, asshurt by Bama fricking melt.

The melt from bama has been going on since last January when Saban retired and doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. It’s hilarious and pathetic all at the same time.

Yes Auburn has been down for the last four years, but if you think they’re going to stay down then you don’t know shite about SEC football.

Beating LSU seems to equate a successful season at Alabama these days.

Let’s be totally honest here, there’s no joy in being a bama fan. Y’all are miserable when you lose (which is happening a lot more these days) and hate your coach. Your non playoff team’s season is made around beating someone who you claim is not your rival. I truly feel sorry for y’all. The ride is over and y’all are stuck being just another team.

It makes perfect sense.

You can't lose a ton to the portal and still be highest in the portal ranking.

The portal is a combination of keeping your own players while adding additional talent.

Right but it doesn't take into account what you've also added in the high school recruiting cycle. For instance, maybe you lost a freshman to the portal who ever played and replaced that guy on NSD with a higher ranked player at the same position. IDK, the whole ranking of classes is an imperfect algorithm and always will be, just like 247's talent composite rankings. That weighs an incoming true freshman the same as a 4th year player, and they don't re-rate players in that system yet they do if one of those players enters the portal.

Yes, about half as insane as the gump fanbase, particularly when they lose. A lot less violence for sure.

Wild Tenn isn't even in the top 50. What is going on there?

I think it's important to note that in the portal rankings there are a whole lot of "zeroes" in the 5-star column for everyone. A lot of big numbers in the 3-star column.

That kind of shows how the portal is secondary to high school recruiting. Ole Miss has the second best class in the SEC in the portal and has 9 incoming 3-stars.

They only brought in 9 3-stars in their HS class... the rest were 4 or 5 stars. Adding a large number of non-blue chip players in the portal isn't a huge positive in my eyes.

Acquiring talent is the name of the game. Going to the portal to grab a bunch of 3-stars is just... pointless.

In my mind, the following teams have the best transfer portal results. Adding mostly 4-stars without much 3-star fluff in the class.

Miami: 5 4-stars, 0 3-stars
Oregon: 5 4-stars, 1 3-star
Alabama: 4 4-stars, 1 3-star

Maybe LSU: 8 4-stars, 5 3-stars (bit too much there).

The rest of the teams are pretty much just shuffling around names while not changing their team's talent much

Is taking a screenshot of an LSU student dressed like a dumbass supposed to disprove my previous points? Your fanbase still dresses and acts much more embarrassing because they are full of idiots.

Because it's a portal ranking. We also have high school recruiting rankings.

You can't argue with a gumptard. When they win they own you, kicked your arse so on and so forth. When they lose they beat themselves or the other team got lucky. They are ignorant entitled wastes of space.
