If Auburn loses 4 -- then they will be the best 4 loss team in the country......
If Texas loses 5 -- then they will be the best 5 loss team in the country......
unless it's....
Texas A&M, the best 5 loss team in the country......
And looking at the bold part of your statement -- you pretty much are arguing against his point....are you not? You are saying it doesn't matter -- where anyone is ranked until November 10th -- so if LSU has beaten 3 teams who were in the Top 10 when they played them (even if it was week 2,3,5) -- and it doesn't matter until November 10th -- then I'm guessing you've done a much better job at invalidating his point than I did....
So -- "thank you!"
Rankings are reflective, not predictive. Outside of maybe the first 3-4 weeks of the season, no one in the coach’s or AP poll votes based on what they assume will happen at a later time. Each week the rankings are a short term perception of what each team’s total body of work is to that specific point.
Your position is an assumption that Auburn will lose 4 games, Texas 5 games, etc, therefore invalidating the perceived strength of LSU’s schedule to date. I don’t even disagree with your projection. However it’s all subjugation until it happens and therefore doesn’t carry any weight in the discussion of current rankings. The expectation of future events doesn’t change the events that have previously occurred.
Therefore until they lose or your speculation has been proven on the field, LSU does have the superior resume and it is a legitimate conclusion that they are deserving of a spot ahead of us at this time. It’s not that difficult of a concept.
