I get the LSU hype, but Tennessee just baffles me. They've got some great players in a hand full of positions, but limited depth. They're playing a soft schedule and maybe that's where the hype comes from, but if they happen to meet Bama or LSU in Atlanta, they'll get destroyed.
Tennessee's depth is one of the big reasons they are being so hyped this annum.

VOLS the favorite to win the SEC. Get used to it, inferiors.

I can deal with it. Certain in a few short weeks you'll be over it though.

So, in other words, this too is completely irrelevant at this point in the season.
ETA: Tennessee fans are just ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these guys has found a blogger in Bangladesh who thinks Tennessee is going to be great and posted it.

It is all because Alabama plays USC, LSU, UTk, OM. UTk plays just Alabama from top teams.
Probability projections can get screwed up on SOS

I am scouring the internet for Bangladesh blogs pertaining to VOLS right now.

Damm computers are always trolling tRant.
In all seriousness, I think UT has a better shot of getting to the game than LSU does. LSU is imo a more talented team overall but if we were to matchup with them in the SECCG I think it would be a 50/50 game.

I stand by my statement and challenge the sanity of anyone believing that. I can input that "opinion" into a computer all day and 100% of the time will get the result I want.

LOL no team is destroying Tennessee this year.

OMG. You were serious about thinking this is just bias???

Want to step through the process?
Where is this data derived from? Easy question.

ESPN did not design a program just to pick LSU and Tennessee and leave poor Bama out. Nor did they design one to favor anyone. You can go through all the data points you like but we're not privy to their formula or their data points and deconstructing it would therefore be impossible.
To assume bias in this case is absurd.

Bias is opinion. This time of year we only have opinion.
