Do you think Vandy is the fifth best team? If so, that is why. There is no requirement to punish teams for losing. The polls are just a collection of opinions.I don’t think Vandy is overrated at #5.

Because this isn’t football and rational baseball people realize a few games in the middle of the season don’t really reflect how good or bad a team is.

Voters acknowledging the strength of the SEC. Question is if 4 SEC teams are top seeds, which League teams are sent out West where the only 2 top seeds, Oregon & Standford, are waiting?

Hard to get up for the Vols. Voters felt empathy?

Same for LSU when the team didn't sweep other teams each week.

I don't know.

But I, for one, am not going to stand for it.

Who do you put above them given the performances of teams behind them?

He is saying LSU went several weeks in a row only winning 2 out of 3, and yall didnt drop. (I believe). Which if yall would have only won two out of three this past weekend, with the midweek loss I think it would have been fair if you dropped a spot.

That said yall swept, and aside from WF and SC the rest of the top ten absolutely crapped the bed. Which is a reason that Vandy didnt drop much. If you were going to have a bad weekend, this was one to do it on

You don't have to be great when 56 games are played. It kind of shakes itself out.


Like Tennessee, the pollsters kept them ranked in the top 10 for far too long, then it worked itself out and they fell out the polls

Still not the same as going 0-4.

Do you realize what you just wrote?
Like I’m so confused how anyone could possibly have this ignorant of an opinion. Seriously.
Winning 2 out of 3 conference games every weekend means you win the series. That is how teams get moved up. Not down.
Some people have a weird obsession with sweeping and act like it’s so important. It’s important to win the series; once that happens, everything else is lagniappe.
