You really resorting to transitive properties? Then carry it through the entire schedule. On field does matter. That is why Alabama is ranked higher than UT. UT got steamrolled twice. That, believe it or not mattered.

I get it. We would be feeling the same, but I think most of us would also accept logic


Didn't Tennessee beat Bama? So what is your transitive property argument again?

ETA: I think Bama would win head to head right now, but the selection criteria clearly states that UT should be ahead.

No, it doesn't. All you Vol fans want to overlook the very first statement in the selection criteria...

"When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are comparable...,"


If that statement isn't true, then the remaining criteria are meaningless.

When you get sodomized by a 7-4 team to the tune of 63 points, you are no longer "at the margins" and "comparable". A last-second victory at home doesn't change that.

Alabama has never in its history given up 63 points. You were an utterly putrid excuse for a football team that day, and the stench of that anal raping doesn't just go away.

Yes. UT beat Alabama at home by 3 points. Close game.

SC beat UT badly as did UGA.

What hurt UT was how badly they got beat.
