Speaking of polls - in the 10 years A&M has been in the SEC, they've been ranked in the top 10 at some point 7 out of 10 years. MSU has been ranked in top 10 only during 2014. We've split our games with them, 5 wins each.

If you ignore 2020, we have 32 SEC wins and they have 34. Does anyone really believe they have been that much better than us over the last decade, as polls would normally suggest?

All that to say - 17 the polls.

Its much harder if you are not a blue blood type program. They get the benefit of the doubt. Take Oklahoma for example. Teams like us have to earn it

It’s the name on their jersey that counts sad to say.

SEC loves to see ranked teams lose to Bummer. It firms up the claim that they are the premier program in America for those that are blind to recruiting.

Wait- you are the goob that claimed the SEC directed refs to ensure we lost to Memphis before playing LSU.
So its your claim that the SEC forced refs to ensure MSU lost to an out of conference team before playing LSU, but then the explanation for why we received votes this week is they love seeing teams ranked lose to Bama?

At least you are consistent with a couple things- your wildly baseless conspiracy claims and your terribly juvenile nicknames like 'LoSUrs' and 'Bummer'.

What a strange season.

On one hand, If we hadn't given away Memphis and LSU games, we would be 5-0 and probably ranked in the top 15.

On the other hand, if any one single play in the 4th quarter hadn't gone our way vs La Tech, we're 1-3 walking into aTm and who knows what happens.

Also, I still don't know what to think of the SEC. Every conference game on our schedule but Bama feels like it has been, or will be, a coin flip. Are we really a 4 win team that got lucky or a 10 win team that got unlucky?

It’s Bama and UGA at the top, Vandy and South Carolina at the bottom and everyone else is muddled up in the middle.
