20/20 Vision With my Buffs On
Being in the top five verses top 12 is not a minuscule difference, the biggest thing, is some of our 3-4 stars have bloomed into studs, but we have whiffed on 4 stars, that hurts us more than a team whiffing on a 3-4 star but you have 2, 5 stars to replace them the following season. It’s one thing to have a hutch and jobo but we currently don’t have that to replace them now, and have to hope someone matures into that by next year, vs having higher caliber players that you’d sooner know they will bloom
I know you are on the side that we can go athlete for athlete, but we can’t, the machine that we have runs in hopes that in two year clips that one 3-4 star turns into a dude, so far it’s happening, for me where we are, we are ahead of the pack, but have not climbed into that next tier, and that’s the difference between us taking another step
There’s no way you said that with a straight face, they are historically a middling team, due to money, caliber of athlete, and coaching
What’s there to be jealous of, and y’all have pack mentality, imagine me being happy for Purdue, fukk this conference, it’s Michigan and no one else, but there are inherent bias that you all get periodBig 10 fans are so jealous of the SEC

He’s new to the Lincoln Riley experience. He will learn just how silly this take is

But they're both mediocre. Outside of the game they played each other, Ole Miss and Miss State combined beat zero ranked teams all year. Combined they only beat two winning teams all year: Troy and Kentucky. Ole Miss and Miss State combined didn't win a single road game against a winning team and combined only won four road games total.
And you know what Miss State's contribution to that is? Again, outside of the game where they played each other, Mississippi State beat ZERO ranked teams, ZERO teams with winning records, and had only won ONE road game all year.
How fukking incredible is it that a team who made it to the final weekend of the season without beating a single team with a winning record and only winning 1 road game is now ranked in the top-25?

That crossing out M stuff has always been lame. I don’t think Mich even does any shyt like this.
Winning rivalry games>>>antics, consonant removal, not mentioning a school by name

That thread on RCMB is fukking weird. Some of these guys think there’s a global conspiracy for why we suck at football routinely.
My favorite was an NIL collective that offers Mich’s best players $5M to transfer out of the conference
. That board loves spending Ishbia’s money.
Top-25 Mississippi State (8-4)
- 0 ranked wins
- 1 win against a team with a winning record (8-4 Ole Miss)
- 2 road wins all season
- All four losses were double-digit blowouts
unranked Purdue (8-4)
- 0 ranked wins
- 3 wins against teams with winning records (8-4 Illinois, 8-4 Minnesota, 7-5 Maryland)
- 4 wins on the road, 3 of those against teams with winning records
- Lost to #8 Penn State on a last-second TD and lost on the road to Syracuse on another last-second TD
unranked NC State (8-4)
- 2 ranked wins against #14 Florida State and #24 North Carolina
- 5 wins against teams with winning records (9-3 Florida State, 9-3 North Carolina, 7-5 Wake Forest, 7-5 Texas Tech, 7-5 East Carolina)
- 2 road wins, both against teams with winning records
- One of their losses was on a last-second TD after a 4th-down PI call
There is literally zero argument for Mississippi State being ranked ahead of Purdue and NC State except for "SEC squads get a boost just for having the name."

True they did beat them but beating Ole Miss shouldn’t be their super bowl
Its so bad this year. Alabama beat nobody but those same mediocre teams but somehow they’re “pretty good” wins, and bama is trying to make a case for the playoffs.
All the sec teams have AWFUL, INEXCUSABLE losses and huge defensive givings too. The stuff that sinks a team for good in a year if they weren’t sec.
- Ole miss gives up 42 to arkansas?
- Lsu gives up 48 to aTm? 35 and 40 to TN and FL
- TN gives up *63* to south carolina and 49 to bama.
- Mississippi st is about to go to the outback or gator bowl…they gave up 75combined to bama and georgia, and 33 to a woat auburn team, needing OT.
- South carolina is #20 today after losing to florida 38-6??? To georgia 48-7??? But this is a “good team”
Bad losses and defensive folds tell me WAY more than ‘good wins’.
Illinois is the same 8-4 as ole miss, miss st, and south carolina. They literally came the closest to beating the #2 team in america. Unranked. We talked about how bad the middle and down of the B1G is, and understandably, but the sec was terrible this year. The Pac12 was actually the conference that cannibalized itself. They have *6* nine win teams.
And your purdue argument is more sound than my case for illinois, tbf

Honestly as much as it makes me want to throw up, I think scUM might have the juice to beat UGA
