2022: Alabama #5, Tennessee #6

Stole this from another site

In 2022, Tennessee beat Alabama in Knoxville by 3 points but were still ranked below them in the last few cfp rankings based on how they finished out the season. Alabama even lost another game at LSU by 1 (an LSU team that Tennessee beat by 33 ON THE ROAD) after they lost to Tennessee. But because Tennessee got blown out by both uga and our beloved gamecocks, they lowered them in the rankings below Bama. And that was the right decision because, even though Tennessee beat them at home in mid October and got out to an 8-0 start, Alabama was clearly the better team and finished the regular season going 3-1 in their last 4 games and only losing that one game by 1 point, while Tennessee finished the regular season going 2-2 and losing those 2 games by a combined 39 points.

This right here (along with them ranking us above LSU a few weeks ago) shows that the committee will and has ranked the better team ahead of another, regardless of if the other team won the head to head or not. So this needs to be what is getting shared and reposted the most because the committee needs to be reminded that they themselves have set this precedence, and if they don’t rank us above Ole Miss, Bama and Miami then they need to be called out for being the lazy hypocrites they are and be replaced by people who can see we are obviously the better team right now and would do the right thing.
