What's This About?
This post critiques what the author views as opportunistic ranking inflation of LSU and Missouri throughout the 2025 college football season. The argument suggests these teams were artificially maintained in rankings to help other SEC teams pad their resumes with 'ranked wins,' but are now dismissed as unrepresentative of the conference after finishing with losing bowl records (LSU 7-6, Missouri 8-5) and losing bowl games to non-SEC opponents. The post highlights perceived double standards in how the SEC narrative shifts based on conference self-interest.
🔥Why It's Trending
This content resonates during the post-bowl season period when final records and playoff narratives are being evaluated. The timing (late December 2025) coincides with completion of bowl games and retrospective analysis of conference strength, making critiques of ranking credibility particularly relevant as fans and analysts assess the accuracy of season-long projections.
