UK had earned their ranking at the time with what was a top 10 defense nationally and dominated a decent Florida team that had beaten a ranked Vols team. It was a justified ranking.

Breh, you're making my EXACT argument for me. Kentucky had played a row of absolutely shyt teams, so what does "top 10 defense" even mean if you haven't played anyone? I can play the Little Sisters of Charity every week and hold them to 0 yards, then I'll have the #1 defense in the nation but how is that relevant?

Why the fukk should Florida have been considered a "decent team" when they had already gotten blown out by a Utah team that didn't even have a quarterback and was struggling to beat mid-majors?

Why should Tennessee have been ranked when their schedule was dogshyt, they hadn't beaten anyone, and lost to fukking Florida?


I'm telling you the rankings are bullshyt due to obvious SEC bias and cupcake schedules, that these teams aren't shyt and shouldn't have been ranked. And your comeback every time is, "But they were ranked, so they must be good!" Even though all those teams turned around to look like shyt the rest of the season just like I said they would.

It's like you're trying to prove my argument for me.

Teams from major conferences all schedule cupcakes and play garbage in conference opponents but you got beef with the SEC? :mjlol:

I explicitly showed why the SEC schedules are the worst of the group. None of the other conferences play as few Big 5 schools over the course of the year. None of the other conferences play as many FCS schools over the course of the year. And damn near every SEC school (with very few exceptions) schedules either 3 or 4 clear cupcakes, where in other conferences it's usually 2 or 3 at most and often only 1.

You don't like looking at that data. You just like the narratives.

Tennessee beat a weak ass UConn squad and jumped 4 spots. Got its ass blasted by an average of 28.5 pts the last two weeks and still top 25. Oregon State lost by 2 to the #4 team in the country and had a more precipitous drop than the Vols and they’re much better than UK or UTk or anyone else on your schedule not named Mizzou. FOH with this dumb ass logic bruh. Tennessee and Kentucky aren’t good no matter how much you try to sway us they are to boost your schedule.

Yup. Same shyt happened last year too. It was like there were so few SEC teams deserving of rank that they had to rank every team with a pulse, then whenever those teams got beat by lesser squads and exposed, they immediately ranked the lesser squad that just beat them cause they now had a "signature win" to prove they deserved it.

Until teams across the nation play real schedules (at least 10 Big 5 games and no more than 1 cupcake), then no one is ever going to know how good anyone else really is.

:mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol:

SEC teams traditionally schedule 2-3 cupcakes a year because of the strength of the conference schedule. The SEC (even in a “down” year this season) has 6 teams currently in the CFP Top 25, the most of any conference. So playing a SEC schedule is traditionally more difficult than a conference schedule in any other conference so we typically don’t schedule many OOC Power 5 games outside of rivalry games.

And again I’m done talking about UK, I’ve had the facts and back up of coaches, admins and media who watch games over the conjecture of you, @lucky lefty and these other Coli misfits. My position on it at the time is pretty well reasoned and supported based on their top 20 ranking. There was a reason they were ranked. I’ve explained that to yall in painstaking detail and yet you dismiss it so whatever breh

:mjlol: at I don’t like data and I’m narrative driven when your whole argument is a complete rail against the SEC. Florida beating a ranked Vols team was enough for them to be ranked. Again you dismiss that because you don’t respect the SEC so this whole argument becomes subjective based on your personal narrative.
