Tv guys say we have played weak teams

Post by Dorewithaflare »

Georgia might be weak but Ole Miss was just coming off big wins in the north .Plus both State & Miss both off national champs, No one would have though that they would be weak.

Clearly they are weak. They can’t even beat Vanderbilt!

Yes they were weak. But we had no control over the schedule.

Gotta get the W's against who you play either way. 9-0 is tough in baseball weak or not.

Weak or not your record is who you are. So I don’t put much stock in the talking heads and what they think.

They're weak because we made them that way through submission.

I think the NET actually got worse after those wins because of the quality of opponent.

But our first group of games was among the hardest in the country.

Yes, the same group who ignored that we had an insanely hard schedule last year. We were just “down.”

We’ve played and beaten UCLA, Texas, Oklahoma State, Maryland and all were ranked.

As I recall, Ole Miss was ranked pretty high before we put them in a tailspin. #3, in fact.

Haters gonna hate. Spinners gonna spin.

Did they say the same about South Carolina? We have both played MSU and Georgia. We played Ole Miss, SC played Missouri.
