LSU rise to #16 is sign of SEC bias

Yes on a neutral field but in Lincoln Nebraska is a slight favorite

 

Prolly a pick em

 

Listening to a sports show in Alabama last week. They had an article maybe from cnnsi I'm not sure. Anyway it was a study done on poll bias and how far teams moved up after a win or dropped after a loss.

The SEC did not garner the most bias in either catagory. In fact I think the PAC 12 had the biggest jump in spots after a win. I think it was almost 4 while the SEC only a avg 2 or so.

They were 2nd from the top in how far they fall after a loss though so while they didn't show much love for winning, the losses didn't seem to hurt as bad.

 

I personally would think ole piss would have fallen farther than where they did.

 

When was the last time a top 3 team lost to the #24 team and still hung around the top 10?

Hell LSU lost to what is now the number 1 and number 4 teams and were booted out of the top 25 completely.

 

I'd say that's bias, negative bias

 

There's a difference between losing and getting annihilated.

And I hope nobody posts the final score of the State game as an argument. We were pelted for 55 minutes.

 

This is a different team.
