Over the summer, I was goofing around on twitter and asked a hypothetical question via our football account: would you trade a loss to someone like South Alabama for a win at LSU or Bama?
The response to the poll, as you can see, was over-overwhelmingly in favor of such a circumstance.
The reason I came up with the question is this: prior to the 2016 season, Dan Mullen always beat who he was supposed to beat. And with only a few exceptions, he had always lost to who he was supposed to lose to.
By comparison with our rivals to the north, they beat teams like Alabama and LSU, then lose to Memphis and Arkansas.
