We are approaching that point in the season when SoS measures begin to become less significant. Earlier, an unbeaten season meant little. But those streaks are starting to evaporate like so much late winter frost.

In the next few weeks Creampuff-smashers like LSU encounter teams who played tough schedules and the truth about both will be revealed. LSU-Tenn on Monday is a classic example of this. LSU beat Arkansas (ranked at the time iirc) earlier by a wide margin but just squeaked past them the second time at home, which ought to have raised concerns.

The Tennessee game will be a much stiffer test for LSU, in my opinion. If they can’t win by double digits against this unranked team, their own ranking and seeding ought to be in question. I’m not sure they have another test. If LSU beats SC, or even plays them close, that will say a lot about them and maybe justify giving them a #1 or #2 seed. But if they lose by a wide margin to SC’s bench, it will say the opposite.
