You know…we have 61 brand new players on our team. I’d say that this Bama team is a good bit different than 2025 Bama.

Having 61 new players doesn’t erase the only actual data point we have, which is Indiana destroying Alabama. If the most recent head-to-head was a blowout, acting like Alabama should automatically be ranked ahead of Indiana is still stupid. “Different team this year” doesn’t change the scoreboard we already saw. Did you get some new coaches too?

I'd definitely put Cignetti's Just for Men, hair dye at least top five.

I figure if they had State’s schedule Indiana would end the season at 8 & 4 or 7 & 5. I think MSU will most likely finish with the same record.

So, thereby and forthwith, I think Indiana is probably about as good as MSU this year.

We also have a recent data point for Bama vs LSU but somehow LSU is favored by 4 right now

Odds move on market money, not last year’s score. LSU being favored just means more money and power ratings leaned their way. So using betting odds to argue Alabama should be ahead of Indiana is dumb — the only real data point is Indiana blowing Alabama out.

The last 2 Alabama LSU data points Alabama blew LSu out. How does that factor in?

This is not well thought out. Alabama would beat Northwestern by way more than 6 points right now. And Vegas would support that.

I don’t think you understand how betting lines work. And calling me a dip shite for no reason during discussion it’s just a little trashy.

sure I do. I am not arguing betting lines.

I just followed your logic of most recent data points

In the most recent Alabama LSu data point can you tell me what happened?

Bama defeated LSU and yet LSU is (apparently) favored this year at this point because of market money. However, there is no reason to say that Alabama should be ranked ahead of Indiana. Rankings have nothing to do with market forces. I don’t know how else to explain it to you.
