there's a few things I have issues with in this poll but ultimately I have a hard time getting worked up about it considering it's the initial poll and the actual one that matters won't look anythign like this. They've gotten it right every year at the end so I'm not really sweating this first one.

The #1 and #2 spots are going to be stone cold 100% locked in come this Sunday so whoever is 1-3 right now is irrelevant. 2 other top 5 teams play each other later this month as well, and the uga/ut winner will end up playing another top 6 team. It'll all work itself out.

Disagree completely

Tennessee‘a regular season is over after this Saturday. If they lose to Georgia, they’re still in the top 4 thanks to starting at #1 and will have a good shot at making the playoff without even going to Atlanta. If Georgia were to lose Saturday, we’d drop out of top 4 and have no leverage to get back into it barring some serious chaos.

Clemson isn’t going to lose. Tennessee stays in top 4 win or lose Saturday. Either Michigan or OH state will finish undefeated. Leaving one spot for TCU, Alabama, Loser of OH st/Michigan, Oregon, USC, and Georgia. Most of whom will play for a conference championship unlike us .

So…..Theres no way around it. We have to beat UT Saturday, or we most likely miss the playoff. It’s that simple. So be it. Maybe it’s better this way. But it’s an incredible pile of bullshite that the the AP voters, the coaches, and vegas all have Dawgs ahead of vols, but because a “committee” wants to spice things up for buzz, we get put to the side at f’n #3 when UT and OH state haven’t blown out a current top 10 team like we did.
