The argument he’s making is not that LSU has a better record against unranked opponents. It is that the 61-2 record is not representative of Alabama’s likelihood to succeed this week because most of opponents faced in those 63 games were not anywhere near as good as LSU is this year.
The record at home doesn't give an indication of how well Bama will do with weekend just like the record at Death Valley has nothing to do with how well Alabama does when they visit. Yet, everytime there's a comment about Bama and who they've played it some always fall into "look at the competition," do they not? It's no different than every loss is the fault of the officials, or it's Birmingham. When comments like that are habitual it's easy to think "here we go again."
Two things. As far as “competition,” it’s a forgone conclusion that Bama’s SOS is lacking, to now. No team has has a better resume than LS and U. The record, period, doesn’t mean shit when Bama plays LS and U. I only posted what I did to show that we’ve had a lot of relative success there.
