Tomorrow will feature the highest ranked game in the 98 year history of TSIO

That's pretty hard to believe tbh

Interesting. Despite being closely ranked, only once did the lower ranked team win (1967).

In the last 7 years Tennessee and Bama have a combined 4 national championships between them

This is also the first time in 17 years both teams have been ranked in top 10 at the time of the game.

Hence why everyone else in the SEC thinks this:

GOAT SEC rivalry

is a joke.

You guys are trying way to hard to convince everyone this is a rivalry.

No one's trying to convince you of anything, because no one could possibly care less what you think. It's a rivalry regardless of your opinion.

Will both teams wear home jerseys??

... in the minds of fans who want to force its importance. The fact that there have been so few TSiO games played in which both teams were ranked shows this rivalry is over-hyped.

I guess that should read, "meant to be played, but pretty much never really is."

If its the GOAT all-time SEC rivalry, why have there been 4 other SEC rivalries featuring games where both teams were ranked?
