I like how number 1 is Texas with no explanation. Everyone just knows it

Texas (1)
Big bucks and big desperation make a powerful elixir, and the Longhorns are flush with both after a perplexing 12-year malaise. Sufficiently ambitious and arrogant to blow up the national conference structure, Texas is betting it can relocate to the nation’s toughest conference and revive its flagging program at the same time. We’ll see how that works out.

Pat Forde with a negative article about Tennessee. Shocker

Tennessee is far from desperate. We are oozing with quite confidence.
Why is Tennessee confident? That 7-6 record? Where six of the wins were
Bowling Green
Tennessee Tech
6-7 Missouri
7-6 South Carolina
South Alabama
Vanderbilt
Best win all year was Kentucky. That gets your on the hot seat or fired at LSU

2001 tennessee had a chance to go to national championship with a win in atlanta.
Since that day they have gone 14-60 against sec teams that have won national titles in this modern era
Bama 3-16
Hate to be picky, but that's 3 losses vs 17 earned wins for Alabama, including the current streak of 15 in a row, with no end in sight.
Current HS seniors have to rely on unreliable adults and today's often fraudulent history to believe that UT has ever beaten Alabama since there are none who have any consciousness of a UT win. It is one of the few certainties of life in the otherwise unstable existence provided by today's America.
13 of those 15 wins have been by 2 TDs or more
12 of 15 by 20+ points
9 of 15 by 31+
And it's not getting better. The margin of the last 6 has been 39, 38, 37, 22, 31, 28. Almost 5 TDs per game.
Alabama fans are appreciative of UT for providing such a consistent source of joy and happiness as the Bama fans anticipate the pleasant feast, without stress, of UT's football program each year. Thank you.

They had many close games and were really not a great team at all.
That wasn't the point of contention, which was did they have a great season? They did.
And they beat the toughest teams in the country that year in LSU, Alabama and Oregon.

I also didnt count the 1 vacated bama win
Posted on 8/29/22 at 1:07 pm to paperwasp
it's just brutal.
Have they even played a close game vs Bama since that Lane Kiffin loss 15-or-whatever years ago?

No Big 10 teams are listed because they are satisfied with an occasional NC and regular beat downs in the playoffs
"Occasional", how about rare - they've won 3 NC's in the last 53 years. OSU is a legit national contender - other than that, they have no "real" contenders. Yes, MSU and Mich have made the CFB playoffs but they had no chance and were both dominated if not humiliated, as was OSU in 2 of its last 3 appearances.
Their 4 losses are by MSU 38, OSU 31, OSU 28, Mich 23. OSU is the only program to win a game. Overall the Big 10 is 3-5 with 1 championship vs the SEC which is 14-6 with 5 championships. Head to head the SEC is 3-1.

Other than that Rocky Block game in 2009, really the only close one in the Saban era was a weird struggle-fest in 2015.

I said they had one of the best seasons. Going unbeaten in the SEC West and having to beat Nick Saban at Bama in the process is a great season. They beat LSU, Arky and UGA along with Clemson and Oregon and that great Bama comeback. A great season.

Gus wasn’t the coach for ‘Punt Bama Punt’ in 1972 either. Auburn has been pulling rabbits and horseshoes out their arse my whole life. Never dismiss the Cult on the Plains and its voodoo.

From a roster standpoint, those 2015-16 Tennessee teams had some talent.
Dobbs, Kamara, and plenty others.
If a halfway competent coach had those rosters, they might've been able to do something those years.

Yeah, I also mentioned weird because that was like a few days after Altee Tenpenny too.
I think Derrick Henry had about 150 yards on the ground in that one, and strangely, when he scored the go-ahead score late (and then the strip-sack happened to seal it), that was low-key one of the louder times I can remember in the stadium.
Just a lot of strange energy from the players and the crowd for that one.

I think Hurd had a really good game for them that year too. I really thought that guy was going to be elite. And once again I was wrong ...

I don't think you were necessary wrong (and I've been wrong a lot, trust me ) — he was actually doing well even after Kamara transferred in, and then got a head or neck injury if I recall, and just never could get healthy.
I think he ended up getting banged-up a good bit in the NFL too.
