Unless you think UGA's win over Oregon was more impressive. Seriously, though, I can't stand the vols or their fans, but tell me why they aren't the #1 team come Monday?
UGA's win is not more impressive in terms of the quality of the opponent. It may be when you consider the margin (UGA won by 43 points).
The reason voters may put UGA ahead of UT is simply the fact that while UT's offense looks great, their defense does not. Using Bama as the measuring stick, it's on par with Vandy and Arkansas's defense.
UGA does still look like a much more complete team all the way around.

I also think UGA fans shouldn't boast about beating Oregon when Oregon was debuting a new staff including a head coach that has never been a head coach at a major Power 5 school.
UGA absolutely should boast about beating Oregon. Oregon is not a team that took a ton of time to develop this year. The week after UGA held them to 3 points they scored 70. They haven't scored less than 40 in any other game besides against UGA. They're one of the top 10 most talented teams according to 247's ratings, they were a top 25 team last year and they're better than that this year. Offensively, if it weren't for the UGA game they'd be even with or ahead of Tennessee in major offensive metrics.
Downplaying Oregon is a problem. They've been kept out of the top 10 because of the fact UGA crushed them so badly... but they're showing week after week that game was either an anomaly or UGA is just simply that good and that Oregon is clearly one of the 10 best teams in college football.
And beating a top 10 team by 43 points is a meaningful result.

I have been voting them number one every week.

I hope they rank us 5 and drop Alabama to 11 or something. Rankings don't matter in October. Only the last one does.

Fair points. Thanks for the detailed response. I suspect that the game wasn't an anomaly and that UGA is just way better than them now too since your team has had time to improve.

Typical knee jerk reaction, Tennessee is hot and has a great offensive but the defense is very average, and the pass rush is bad. Offense doesn't travel, this is a two loss team

Yes, beating Oregon 49-3 is more impressive than beating Alabama by 3 pts with no time left.
Posted on 10/16/22 at 9:46 am to olgoi khorkhoi
I agree. Let them be #1

Natty Champs stay #1.
To be the best you have to beat the best.
GA is undefeated. You don’t beat #3 and jump to #1

How does beating the number 3 team make you the number 1 team?
The same way beating a crappy Oregon team and no one else.

Oregon is top 10 at 2pm today and averages 500+ in O.
Far from crappy

I know Clemson is undefeated, but man the ACC is soft, they have escaped some really average teams. They’ll Probly be at least number 5.

I'm all for Vols being #1.
More fodder for the Dawgs when we meet them in a few weeks.

Ask the LSU fans whether offense travels
