This literally proves the point of this post- you are completely overlooking SOS and schedule context. 
 

While other teams have been playing cupcakes and lesser conference opponents, Texas has played and beat two Top 15 teams with quality defenses.

The top four hardest schedules played this season are Texas, Ohio State, Ole Miss and LSU. 

Texas is 83rd in total offense
Ohio State is 8th
LSU is 13th
Ole Miss is 38th

LSU and Ohio State aren’t even top 20.

Also, where are you getting your stats from because your numbers do not match up at all? Are you using a site that includes FCS games?

And only one of those 4 is undefeated 🤔

Right. But the topic was why despite being undefeated people are writing us off. My point is that it’s because our offense isn’t elite and we are an undisciplined football team.

Alternative view after week 3 you have to get to the 39th ranked OFEI to find a defensive schedule rated more difficult than Texas at 16th.  Ole Miss was at 17th but Tennessee was about 20 spots better in DFEI than Florida.

Yeah that is including FCS games because it has Tennessee as a top 40 offense and if you remove the Furman game, their offense drops below Texas.

Ohio State- Ball, Kent St, Illinois, Texas

LSU- Clemson, LaTech, Ole Miss, TAMU

Ole Miss- Louisville, Colgate, LSU, Florida

Ohio State’s schedule outside of Texas has been a joke. They have a highly ranked SOS purely because they played Texas, and Texas gifted them a lot of points before shutting them down.

LSU’s schedule has also been somewhat of a joke outside of Ole Miss, and Ole Miss shut them down for the majority of the game.

Ole Miss vs Florida is a good comparison to Texas vs Tennessee.

Look at what Ole Miss did without their starting RB vs a lesser Florida defense, and compare that with what Texas did vs Tennessee without their starting RB (and key blocker in Townsend)

OU’s defense is no cupcake.

No but their offense has sprinkles on top

Especially with Georgia. They’ve played two cupcakes and probably the SEC’s two worst teams in Arkansas and OU.

Florida has played two cupcakes, shootout with a mid Auburn team, then caught Ole Miss on the road after an emotional win and without their starting RB.

Meanwhile, Texas downs Ohio State and Tennessee on the road and people are writing them off.

It’s honestly quite annoying being a Texas fan, because you have to hear the biased media, then you have to hear Texas’ own fans completely disregarding the reality that is difference in SOS

This is fair.
