They arent even ranked. And our 2 great wins are at home.

Going into Texas was still a great win. They may finish in the 8-4 realm but they've been decimated by injuries. The team we played in Austin that night was more of a 10-2 team. Either way, it looks way better than a loss to texas

It was a top 10 matchup that LSU won.

It was at the time, that's all we can do is play the game in front of us.

when LSU played them they were.So does that mean any ranked team you play during the course of a season doesn't count as a good win if they fall out of the rankings several weeks after you beat them?

The loss to LSU is part of the reason for their ranking.

So losing to them would be better for our resume because they’d be ranked higher if we did? This is why this silly argument some Rantards have adopted that top 10 wins are invalidated later on is outright stupid. It’s also why top 10 wins are recognized the way they are.

That's not how it works. Top 10 win is a Top 10 win.

If they defeated LSU they would have been a different team.

Yes.

What is so hard for people to understand that its based on ranking at the time?

Also if you dont think teams play to their perception you dont know shite. An undefeated, top 10 ranked Texas team plays much much much differently than an unranked Texas teams who season is over and they are disappointed.

Like Bama, Texas was ranked according to last years final ranking. Texas had a harder schedule this year... so what. LSU Still has a better resume than any other team. Doesnt nake them #1 though.

This is reason the preseason shite should be removed or reward teams for ranked at the time scenario.

You are wrong. It's the CFP poll that matters on ranked wins

This

It's also part of why Texas has fallen apart and lost 2 more games. How many times did LSU go toe to toe with Bama and lose, then shite the bed against a terrible terrible arky team.
