Now, you are changing the premise. The OP was about to WHOM one lost and WHO one beat. Not about the quality of play.

OF COURSE, you evaluate the quality of a team by their quality of play. Duh

but its hard to really tell if LSU is the 4th best team or 20th best team in the country.
But that's not even part of the original assertion. I guess you and the og poster don't think much of the SEC or a road win over a team that beat LSU. I also don't know what anyone anywhere could do about it.

2 good teams, but has anyone looked at just who they beat? Saying you lost to 2 top teams means nothing if the wins were of lesser teams.


any coach on any team in any league will take a 1 point win over their opponent, no matter who the opponent is, the level of competition. weekend and week out, etc.

Where in the hell did I say we suck?


You point out the fact that the teams we have beaten are not in the top 25. Maybe you are not saying we "suck"? Maybe you are just saying we are "mediocre"?? If so, I still strongly disagree...

Is Boise State the #1 team in the country? I mean they beat everyone.


Who has Boise beaten of any consequence? Oregon?
The same Oregon team everyone was saying was the best team in the country because they beat an overrated USC team? The same "great" Oregon team which lost to Stanford this past weekend?

Boise plays 11 inferior opponents and maybe one solid team each year. Don't tell me Boise should even be in the BCS discussion.

I just pointed out a fact.

Well what I actually said is that we are great. But I didn't panic when we almost lost to mediocre teams and I am not gonna call us the greatest thing since sliced bread for losing to two awesome teams.

Being 7-2 in the SEC is solid no matter what. LSU hasn't gotten the chance to beat top 15-20 type opponents, but it is just really hard to call this team "top 5" when they haven't beaten anyone near that caliber. But being top 10-15 isn't mediocre...its great.
