It’s a tactic that I predicted. The question was answered already

Jesus dude it’s just a question, nut up

But okay, fine, I’ll do this without you

On sight, the formula they use has some obvious issues, but without getting too technical, let’s just assume it’s spot on. It’s your data point, we will roll with that.

The tab next to it is a metric called SRS or “simple rating system” which is like a grade for the team’s season.

They use the SOS you referenced to calculate the SRS.

2019 LSU is first in school history, obviously, with a 25.80

2011 LSU is right behind them with a 24.27

2003 LSU (which you said would beat 2011 LSU) has a 20.85 and a MUCH lower strength of schedule.

From looking at other teams, anything in the 23+ range seems to be elite/all time good.



So to sum it all up: You said 2011 LSU was maybe the most overrated team of all time.

But in reality, your own dataset proved you wrong.

2011 LSU played probably the toughest schedule of all time prior to the playoff era. If Bama doesn’t get a mulligan and assuming LSU beats OK State in the title game….

14-0

9 of the 14 wins vs ranked opponents

4 wins vs teams ranked in the top 3 at the time. And only one of those games being at home

Wins vs 3 of the other 5 BCS conference champs

That kind of resume was insane prior to the playoff era.

Idk if they win it all, but they got royally fricked against auburn. If that PI gets called they have a really good chance to win that game.

They also absolutely raped Notre Dame.

2011 is still a bigger what if though. I have no idea if Lee wins that game. He probably doesn't, but that is probably the worst game plan and DEFINITELY the worst in game adjustments I've ever seen. They ended up sub 100 yards and did absolutely nothing to change it up.

Thanks for doing exactly what I predicted you would and you threw in a little dishonesty just to top it off. You can’t have discussions, you’re a child

Where? Be specific.

I asked you the same question multiple times and all you did was whine about it.

This is the part where you offer a genuine and honest rebuttal of the facts I presented. Go for it.

The 2006 LSU/Arkansas game was one of the best football games I’ve ever seen. That was peak SEC football.

I thought we had the best team in the country until that game. LSU was just a smidge better.

2006 LSU would wreck most of the teams on that list like Oregon 2010. That would be a joke of a game.
