Still not standings and not a rank of the season like polls do. Power Rankings are by definition which team is the best "right now" If tomorrow the Patriots starting O/D suited up for Mizzou to finish the year they should jump to #1 (well #2 since Bama can beat NFL teams)
I get the "what have you done for me lately" dominates a power ranking but the opponents should be factored in.
A&M is about to play two OOC cupcakes and MSU. If we dominate all 3 of those games and Bama loses to LSU we should jump Bama in this kind of ranking because of how we look against terrible teams?

Not pissed just trying to understand how a high school in Alabama and a team who hasn't beaten a team with a winning record above the VOLS in the standings is all
Who has beaten that HS team in Alabama?

What have you done for me lately? If you beat a shite team the answer is nothing.

Maybe they beat a 20 point spread favoring Auburn. Need some lucky bounces though

Everybody we have played except #3 and #9 in the nation.
ETA both polls have Auburn ranked ahead of UT.
ETA to the ETA Damn, I just looked at the schedule. Who has UT beaten?

Barely beating a bad LSU team hurts you a little

I also think Tennessee is the 4th best team in the SEC based on what I've seen. Arguably the 3rd. They still don't have any good wins.

They do get factored in, but losing by 40 points even to Bama matters. Especially when Tenn was lucky to not lose by 20 against TAMu

Not necessarily. There are times where a team has a bad day, but a bad day for a good team doesn't mean get dominated.
If TAMU beats the "SW University of the Directionally Challenged" 70-0 that isn't enough to jump them over a 17-13 Alabama loss.
By say week 11 though, TAMU beating Auburn is nearly inconsequential for power rankings. Same for Auburn > LSU etc

We're going to just pretend like we aren't in week 8. We'll just pretend like the Florida win wasn't good because Florida isn't a world beater. We'll just pretend like the Georgia game wasn't a good win because the Bulldogs fell off a cliff during/after the Ole Miss game, and because they have a new coach and are inconsistent af right now. We'll just pretend like the VT win wasn't a good win because...well just because ACC (and because we don't like their wins).
A&M's best win is what? A banged up UT (lol double-OT; lol missing 7 defensive starters)? LOLArkansas? LOLAuburn was terrible when you beat them? This game is stupid. We could do it all day with every team.

Yes we could so why does a vol have to start this stupid shite every week? Small penis syndrome or what?

You realize you just sarcastically proved my point right?

When you look at drive success, Auburn crushed LSU. Since then, Auburn has been considerably more effective in the RZ after an OL change
Drives 50+ yards or score
Auburn - 7/11
LSU - 3/11
Drives <25 yards & no score
Auburn - 4/11
LSU - 8/11

You're the one menstruating all over this thread bc you got RTFU by VOLS internet users.

That's kind of my point. I don't really understand the mindset of putting say Auburn over A&M just because A&M recently lost to Bama and Auburn beat Arky badly.
