Im looking at Auburn vs. LSU...
I really dont mess around with the SEC much.
My lean would be LSU only because of the numbers.
Auburn shows great wins but against who? The schedule is full of weak sauce. Except for Vanderbilt, Kentucky, So I would be right in think that their number are slightly skewed due to the lack of talent they played. RPI =133.
LSU atleast plays teams that I can confidently count on one hand as teams that are tough. They lost to BIG TENS usual underdog Northwestern (82-88), but if you follow the BIG TEN.. Northwestern is a team that shouldnt be taken lightly. LSU beat Rutgers (55-50) and Rutgers has been surprising this year again. They beat Marquette (67-59) and they have proven to be a contender, and barely lost to Virginia (52-57) a team that contains a lot of talent. LSU losses, i feel are more justified. LSU RPI = 73.
Line at 10 favoring LSU.
LSU coming back home after losses to Alabama ( 53-69) and Arkansas ( 60-69 ). Vegas saying -10 because LSU can actually cover this and they're hoping +10 for Auburn is enticing enough to pull our money. Maybe?
Anyone got insight?
