Is this the year we beat someone in the SEC West besides da Bears, I think so..

I could see us going 7-0 and then getting pounded by Bama.. 8-4 looks very possible..

OM was ranked #25 in 2009 and Florida was ranked #21 in 2010 at the time we played them

You're really reaching with this one. We've beaten two two-25 teams and most of our games against top-20 teams have been against top-ten teams. <div>

If we beat an unranked Auburn team week 2, and they don't lose again and win the national title, we can't count that as a top 20 win?

Just like in basketball, quality wins aren't "point in time" unless there are key injuries/suspensions that is the cause for a team regressing.

Plus, we finished ranked 15th in 2010. I think that can buy Mullen a little time on the "no top 20/SECW team other than OM" argument folks try to make against him.

I will answer your question with a question.
If we beat a top 5 ranked Bama team in week Eight, then they lose out and end the season unranked. Do you count that win as a win over a Top 5 team? I think you do.

Mullen wins the games we are supposed to, but he has yet to get that signature win over a Top 20 team. Let's hope he gets it done this year.
I really think we can win 3 games in the SEC West this year, now that would be a real improvement for our coach..

And why are we randomly saying top 20? Is there a top 20 poll that I am not familar with? Is beating number 20 that much more impressive than beating number 21?

I might mention it as "we beat Florida and they were ranked #5 at the time" but that's just a way to make it sound better on a season's resume if they end up ranked lower or unranked. Make no mistake it's the season ending rank that counts. Trying to spin it any other way is idiotic. The final ranking is much more valid in judging a team's worth.

Yeah, like our top 20 non-conference wins in basketball this year. <div>

I could also say he hasn't beaten a Top 10 team. Is there a Top 10 poll?
Mullen has beaten 2 Top 25 teams as our Head Coach.

is a much better indicator of how good that team was than whatever random ranking they had the day you played them.

I bet if Jennifer Aniston were naked in front of you two & wanted to get it on you 17ing idiots would find something wrong w/ her or the situation. "Her nips aren't perky enough." Or "her hair isn't QUITE right." Get the 17 over yourselves! The nerdy guy at the prom w/ NO date can't complain about Sally "trailerpark" Johnson giving him some booty! But I bet you two would! We play in the 17ing SEC west! Not only the best conference but THE 17ing best division in the NATION! We don't have 5 stars everywhere like Oregon or Texas oh **** they lost to west teams too. Wow! 17 off & grow up! Yeah lets fire Mullen & go back to 4-5 win seasons & losing to the blackbears......the MAINE blackbears that is!

If I'm having a wet dream and fishwater shows up in it, I'm waking up screaming. I'm pretty sure I could say the same for slickdawg too.
