I'll give you 2 prime examples from the past week alone:

1) In no metric from the committees criteria should Bama be ahead of us in any rankings and if so why do we even play the games on the field?
2) Hendon Hooker should go to NYC by the stats and by the impact he had on his program - maybe not win - but should definitely be recognized for what he has done.

Tennessee fans are crazy because of the open bias against us from media, committee - etc. (and this is not the first year this has happened to our program - its just dejavu from when we used to be good)

Any of you would feel the same if it was your team. Our team had a fantastic season and has been nothing but disrespected. Rant over

Crazy conspiracy theory, but I do agree with your two points.

The eye test says 2 blowout losses is why the vols are behind bama in all of the rankings.

If the results were reversed, vols would be ahead of bama.

2 blowout losses in November tends to end with that result. It would for any team.

Getting shelled from orbit in Athens and Columbia like y'all did is proof that 6th was exceedingly kind.

Take a Top 10 finish and count yourself lucky. Next time win a big game and earn it.

It’s not a conspiracy when you are blown out in your two losses.

I’m willing to listen…
Do you have a theory as to why they are biased against you?

Just because y’all beat LSU doesn’t mean you get to take their conspiracy theories

For 25 years, y'all have been saying that "no one cares" about Heismans. So why the uproar now?

Your defense is garbage. You can’t have a D that gives up 60+ to South Carolina and expect to be in the playoffs.

We’re not sure but y’all have always been pretty big douchebags.

Hope that helps.

Most aren't Tennessee fans. Or they weren't.

But the answer you seek is moonshine.

Why does the sun shine? Because that’s it’s nature.

Because your cousins kept marrying one another. It's just basic genetics. I think the Mennonites have published several books on the subject which I'm sure they would be happy to share.

Even if this is true, what difference does it make if you're ranked 5 or 6? You got the better bowl bid anyway.

This is simple. Giving up 63 points is huge. Giving up 63 when you are a 22 point favorite is really huge. Doing that in November, with a cakewalk path to the playoffs is brutally huge.

You lose that game in September and you have 8-9 games to recover. November losses are a bitch. Trust me. I know.

Fine, you be 5 and we'll be 6. We'll play Clemson in the Orange Bowl and you play Kansas St in the 11am Bowl. Happy now?
