The thing is when the following happens how are we going to justify that the SEC is head and shoulders above any conference.
Climpzin beats Carolina
FSU throttles Florida
Louisville beats UK

Oh, did I mention that Florida State is the defending champions coming off an undefeated season?
Da fuq does that have to do with this year?

statement's like this are stupid. You would probably have said the same thing about Georgia last week. They got destroyed by a team on FSU's schedule. You don't even think its possible that Ole Miss could lose to Florida, @Miami, Notre Dame, @Louisville, or Clemson? Would Ole Miss be favored in every game? Maybe. Guess what? So is Florida State. By bigger margins. Winning 12 straight games is hard to do, even being significantly favored every game.
Y'all have a really bad understanding of statistics for the most part.

The ACC is littered with cupcakes. If ND loses tonight your signature win, with help from the stripes, suddenly is ho hum. MS St has beaten better teams the Fl State in much more convincing fashion in a much much better conference. What's so difficult to understand about that?

No I don't think Ole Miss would have beaten Notre Dame or Clemson.
Those two teams are as athletic as Ole Miss and had an offense that makes Wommack squirm.
And I just realized you do not understand the word don't

Louisville had an awful resume for a ranked team. They have beaten one team that is going to a bowl. The fact that you keep using a close loss against Virginia as a justification for them being good tells you everything.
I am not using that as justification. That is their worst mark on their resume. For being their worst mark, it is not terrible. i am not putting it as their best mark. Their best mark is blowing out Miami. You are now moving the goalposts and saying it was awful FOR A RANKED TEAM. Well guess what? They were one of the lower ranked teams.
But yeh, they do have an awful resume if you compare them and the teams with better resumes than them. Probably the worst I would say. I didn't know that was the point you were making.

When the bottom of the SEC loses to the best the ACC has to offer? Not sure I'm seeing what that proves.

Um no. They play a top 10 team. Its not like I was ready to discredit Mississippi States win had Ole Miss beaten Auburn last week or Auburn loses to Georgia next week.

My bad, I meant in its entirety. There are good matchups within MSU's schedule, but a lot of the other games are cupcakes by definiton. Anyways, peace! These threads always turn into a conferencebate.

The bottom?
I do not see Arkansas, Vandy, Tennessee or aTm listed.

Why does the conference matter if you are looking at the quality of the teams individually? If the teams are better, the teams are better. Why do you point out the conference? Because you thought you needed another bullet point?

I'm sorry that you didn't have the comprehension that I wasn't comparing louisvilles resume to the wake forests of the world. Thought I would clear that up for you. Their resume fricking blows, no moving the goalposts anymore.
Posted on 11/8/14 at 8:48 am to TheSexecutioner
If ND loses it will be 0-2 versus the only two good teams they have faced. MS State also has the win against LSU to fall back on in that case. Auburn would still have a win against K State and LSU. Still would be a better win than Clemson and ND should they lose.

I really don't get the point you were making then. When you say a resume blows, it is compared to everything else. When you tell me a resume is terrible, I'm not going to think of a team with a 20 point win over Miami, close home losses @UVA and @Clemson, and 6 double digit wins. Thats just ridiculous to call that terrible.

You certainly seemed to need it. Better teams in better fashion was spelled out in crayon for you and that still wasn't enough. Figured a picture might help

This comment is not directed to you but as a generalization
But anytime Notre Dame beats someone they, the team that just was beaten, was not "that" good. But if Notre Dame loses it's because they're the worst team since Prairie View.
The double standard toward them by some is head scratching.
ETA: The same can be said of Oregon and most non SEC teams.

It should be directed at him. He's a baffoon. There are exactly 8 teams in the country who would be favored over Stanford on a neutral field. Mississippi State isn't one of them. Yet thats not a good win.
Posted on 11/8/14 at 8:55 am to sms151t
I see how I could have inferred that, but not what I meant. I think they are a good team. Hell they probably should have beaten Fl State. But their best win is what, Stanford? A close game against a 5-4 team doesn't instill much confidence. Not saying they couldn't win better games, just that they haven't and that hurts when trying to say if a team is good, or one of the top teams in the country.
Posted on 11/8/14 at 8:57 am to TheSexecutioner
5-4 and worst team they've had in years. i would feel sorry for you if you weren't such a douchebag.

And for the record, I think Alabama should have the same treatment as ND right now. They have played one ranked team and lost also.
