quote:

Then NC State beat Vanderbilt in their bowl game. That made the Wolfpack the Life Champions for a solid nine months heading into the 2017 season. But then, in Week 1, South Carolina beat NC State to take the belt for itself. The Gamecocks held the Belt until Kentucky beat them in Week 3. The Wildcats then lost to Florida, but because of the rules of the belt, that simply reverted it back to Tennessee. (I’ll explain below.)


quote:

However, being the Life Champ is only an honor for teams that are not actually likely to be the champions of anything. Therefore, any team that is ranked in the AP Poll is ineligible. A ranking will revert the belt to Tennessee, so long as Tennessee is unranked. (This is how Tennessee got it when a ranked Florida won at Kentucky in Week 4.)

It's going to be fun next week when Daddy Muschamp breaks one off in Lyle again and takes his beloved life championship

There's a problem with the SB Nation rules. Tennessee was ranked at the time of the "Champions of Life" declaration. The rule shouldn't be that a team is unranked but should be something like "not ranked in top 15" or something.

The ranking was fake news.

Yes, it was, but most rankings are pretty subjective at the end of the top 25.

I don't see how Tennessee loses possession.
