So, you're talking all time and not current state of each program.
ETA: Talking about a bunch of shite, that no one cares about, from 50 years ago is so aTm it's not even funny.

Well yeah. What other metric would I use that would be consistent? How badly we all lost to Ole Miss last year?

Talking about consistency, aTm fans on here love to use the last four years to compare programs. Why not this time?
Oh wait, I already know why. Carry on.

Sure, let's use the last four years:
Bama: 3 national titles
LSU: 0 national titles
A&M: 0 national titles
Gap between Bama and LSU still bigger than gap between LSU and A&M
Wait wait, you say. What about the results of games?1!
Bama: 50 wins in the last four years
LSU: 37 wins
A&M: 36 wins
So in the last four years there is a MASSIVE frickING GAP between Bama and LSU while a small one between LSU and A&M
Or here is a fun one:
Bama: 1 Heisman
LSU: 0 Heisman
A&M: 1 Heisman
I don't know what you were thinking honestly, the four year span is worse than all-time.
But you did do a great job proving my point about the level of LSU fan delusion, thank you for that.

It's funny you're using everything except the actual results between the teams, including individual honors, to try and make a point.
Why is that? Because the actual results say the gap between LSU and Bama is just about equal to the one between aTm and LSU.
If that makes you feel better about losing 5 in a row to LSU, good for you.

Sure, if everything other than direct results between the teams determines who's "closer" to who.
Posted on 8/22/16 at 2:11 pm to RB10
Right. Because determining that all hinges on one single game. Not full seasons or all time.

We've witnessed 2 national championship games in football the last 10 years, 3 in the last 15. These mouth breathers haven't witnessed a single national championship game, far less a win, in their entire lifetime.
Let them spin.

Well, life isn't fair. Is it fair that LSU stomps a hole in A&M ever year, steals your state's top recruits, then mocks your fans incessantly about it online? No, it's not fair, but it is funny.

I'm not really sure what this means, and more importantly, I'm not sure how it's relevant.

UTk rejoices in their role as offseason champions.

Does not - Georgia,
how so?
Most of our fans recognize us for exactly what we are; a top 12/13ish program of all time, a program on par historically with LSu/UF/AU in teh SEC (below bama and ut), and a team that realistically shoudl probably have accomplished more than we have.
Is that inaccurate?

Why is that?
Because I don't know how you would "use" the individual results of games between two sets of teams. If anything such numbers would be less accurate than what I have posted.

bullshite. Lets do it for fun though to prove my point:
LSU wins vs Bama the last four years: 0
A&M wins vs Bama the last four years: 1
You see? If I go by just the results of the games then it looks like A&M has a smaller gap to Bama than LSU does which we all know is false.
I honestly don't even know what other metric you are considering that paints LSU in a better light.

I would think that in order to measure a program's place within its conference, one would look at the W-L results of an entire season.

In laymen's terms then:
LSU fans think their program is close to Bama
A&M fans think their program is close to LSU
In reality, LSU fans are more wrong about what they think than A&M fans.
Easy enough to understand?

Accepting "your place" means in relation to other programs. By definition.

Why would you use the transitive property for LSU-aTm? That makes almost no sense.
Here's why the gap is almost identical:
LSU vs. Bama: 0-5
LSU vs. aTm: 5-0
Average margin of victory for Bama: 13.4
Average margin of victory for LSU: 12.8
If you want to go from 2012, the margin of victory is even closer. 11.5 for Bama and 11.8 for LSU.
Like I said, you can keep using everything except the actual results to compare the gaps between the teams if it makes you feel better about aTm being 0-5. That won't change the fact that on the field, it's almost identical for each.

How would you measure the difference between LSU-Bama and the difference between LSU-aTm though? If you don't say the results of the games between each, you're lying.
That's what we're actually discussing here.
