We are ranked 6th, they are ranked 25th. So it’s not MY opinion. It is the opinion of the people who are paid as experts on this subject.

It is an opinion. Just because journalism majors at 247 rank prospects as 17 and 18 year olds doesn’t mean definitively that one group of players is factually better than another 3 to 4 years later. If it was, Miss. St. wouldn’t have beat the shite out of us by 30, finished with the same record as us, or have better odds according to Vegas to win the west this year than LSU.

What are the “experts” gonna say? Oh hey guys btw those rankings we did 3 years ago that you all pay for, they were drastically inaccurate. Are we ranked 6th in any polls? Is Vegas predicting us to be any good at all or is our o/u wins total 7.5?

Is Kentucky better than Troy? It’s funny, you didn’t mention the Miss St./Bama game

Uh, actually, that’s exactly what it means. Can they be wrong about an individual player? Sure. But they have been consistently correct since the beginning of ranking players.

Ranking vs NFL draft

The more talented team wins the game over 90% of the time.

Hence, we should have won that game. We were the more talented team. There are of course outliers to that. We lost to two teams that were drastically lower in talent to us. That means there’s more going on than outliers.

If you can’t understand or won’t accept that we were far more talented than MSU and Troy last year and that THE frickING REASON WE LPST IS BECAUSE THE TESM WAS NOT PREPARED (not coached), then we are done. You are not intelligent enough to carry on a conversation about this with.
