For instance, before the change of heart, I might have questioned why Georgia and Florida are even in the national title discussion. Surely, this would include pointing out that both claim LSU as their best victory, then a sarcastic aside about how the Tigers have yet to beat a quality opponent.
But, you see, the Tigers play in the SEC, and that means they are good even when it's not readily apparent.
Here's how it works: if there is some question about why a seemingly so-so one-loss team is held in high regard, check the conference affiliation. If it's the SEC, the team certainly is better than it appears; if it's another league, the team can be easily dismissed.
With LSU, this means you must look closer to see why it's actually a very good team. For one, the Tigers play really good defense. It's how they became the best two-loss team in the nation last season.
Some haters might bring up the 103 combined points Florida and Georgia just put on the Tigers. But that just speaks to the greatness of the
Gators and Bulldogs — against teams from any other league, it might have been 200 points.
