You do realize I only addressed your comments about Florida having a much tougher non-conference schedule, right?

So you ignored everything else? What has TAMU done since?
Lose a series to Ole Miss of all teams. So that week was not their best to say the least. They also dropped in rankings.

Why are you so negative? As someone already pointed out they took the series against Arkansas.

Sadly, I don't think he is. He is a complete moron on this board consistently. His takes on just about everything are pretty ridiculous.

I’m not negative at all. Why do people on here only look through P&G lenses?

It was a very simple discussion.
LSU “made a run down the stretch.


My response was “against who”?

When comparing LSU to UFs schedule,
You can’t ignore the competition. It is like saying all q1 wins or losses are the same. That is complete horses shite. They are not if you play the top 7 RPI teams versus the bottom 7.

You can’t just look at record.

If you’re starting anywhere when comparing teams with the same record, start with head to head and conference ranking. LSU was 11th. They lost head to head match-ups versus Bama, UF and Vandy. That means those teams are before them right off the bat unless their KPIs are super low. They are not.

So then move tor SCe and look at them more closely. LSU has a possibility to get in over them.

They need to win tomorrow.

You’re rewarding Florida for schedule only, not results.

LSU has a better strength of record and better winning % against Q1 and Q2 teams.

You ask “against who?” Flip that question to Florida, who have they beaten? Because the metrics say less than LSU.

Vandy has beaten even less good teams than Florida. They don't have a single series win against a SEC team with a winning conference record.

I’m rewarding for winning 4 SEC series over teams better than what LSU has AND beating LSU head to head. What’s so difficult about that?

LSU beat more good teams. That’s a fact.

In the SEC? List out the series wins as a comparison…

This is ABOUT THE frickING SEC getting teams in. LSU is 11th in the conference with the same W-L record - FACT.
Here are UF series wins
MSU
TAMU
UGA
LSU - HEAD TO HEAD MATTERS MOST BETWEEN 2 teams with the same record which is why LSU is behind Vandy, Bama and fricking UF in the conf standings.

Compared to
Auburn
Mizzou
TAMU
Ole Miss

So who actually had a more impressive set of series wins when comparing UF and LSU?

That’s why at the end of the D-1 podcast they ultimately had UF in over LSU.

It isn’t just me a-hole.

Edit for calling out this moron for his downvote because he didn’t have some snazzy comeback. fricking idiot DGB.

It’s NOT about SEC teams getting in. You keep wanting to make it that, but it’s not. Conference standings are only a small piece of the puzzle. The committee certainly doesn’t care about conference tiebreakers for the 7th place teams, not 11th. There’s no cap on teams from a conference. They are all compared to other at-large candidates, which you still refuse to list because you know there aren’t enough teams from other conferences to keep LSU out unless there is mass chaos in the conference tournaments.

And who had worse losses? Florida did beat Miss St and Georgia, but also got swept by Missouri, lost 3 weekend games to teams outside the Top 60, and 4 midweek games to non-Q1 teams. LSU’s wins of Texas, ULL, and Xavier don’t match Miss St and Georgia, but Florida’s 10 embarrassing losses to 4 for LSU more than offset that.

And they also had SC and Vandy behind LSU, but you don’t want to acknowledge that.

We are not 11th in the conference why can’t some of y’all understand that lol. We are tied for 7th the committee will look at our conference finish as exactly the same as the other 13-17 teams. They don’t give a frick about tie breakers lol

Conference SOS or SOR isn’t even a metric that’s used.

LSU has beaten more good teams in the totality of the season.

Sorry you’re getting pissy about the fact that Florida hasn’t beaten anyone.

He still hasn't responded to people calling out his post saying that A&M hasn't done anything recently. Funny how he just dropped that line.
