re: I've got Tennessee #1 this week and you should too

What makes Bama a top team? They were just there “as a placeholder” because they finished strong last year and hadn’t lost yet, they even struggled with some mediocre teams.

So you understand that preseason rankings are bullshite. Alabama under Saban is really the team that is somewhat a known quantity. They may not be a championship team every year, but they're guaranteed one of the best 5-10 teams. UGA hasn't played anyone (which you tacitly acknowledge) and UT is the only undefeated team that has beaten a top team, according to the same polls that are responsible for ranking teams tomorrow.

It doesn't matter, since UGA and UT play, but they should still be #1 tomorrow.
