re: Please help me understand why Bama outranks Tennessee.

whereas Tennessee got its arse kicked in its 2 losses


Lost to #1 UGA and were upset by the hottest team in the country.

Bama lost head to head to the Vols (giving up 50 points) and lost to an average LSU team.

Not really close.

This is what denial looks like. You can't get past the fact that having 63 points hung on you by a 7-4 team takes you completely out of the discussion. You had an arse whipping that was historic in its proportion. In its 120 year history, Alabama has never given up close to that many points.

You want to treat the South Carolina loss like just another loss. Every knowledgable fan outside of the Tennessee fan base knows you can't do that.
