Yeah, LSU shouldn't have lost and is probably the better football team but to treat Ole Miss as if they were some 3rd rate scrub team like North Texas is just silly.

Or your definition of "good team" is ridiculous.

They're very likely to finish the regular season unranked, with 8 wins. That's not good. That's average. It may not be average amongst all football teams in the FBS, but college football is ridiculously stratified and they aren't competing against the AAC's and Sun Belts, and MACs of the world, they are competing against other major conference programs. And amongst those programs they are distinctly average. Not awful, but nothing special either.

Sure, they only lost to Auburn and A&M by a collective 11 points, but they've got wins over Vandy and us by a collective 7 points, so are they really an 8 win team in disguise, or a 4 win team in disguise?

They aren't scum. They aren't a bottom feeder. They are average. Which is what we are this year as well. An average major conference team. We aren't Kentucky or Moo State, but we're not at the top either.
