That's basically the same result you posted in losing to us and then barely beating Florida.


Arky is theoretically better than than Vandy. And if it’s they then Bama needs to be at 10.

If A&M beats Miss State, I will ban myself for one week.

On both your Monsusta and MtVernon accounts, or just this one?

You said the same thing last year. We all know how that turned out.

While I don’t think the Missouri is that impressive, they are so overrated, I do think they have a better body of work than Tennessee. Doesn’t matter though, if they beat the Gumps next week they will be ranked higher. If they lose, they will plummet in the rankings.

Don’t worry about these polls they don’t mean anything
Only poll that matters is the CFP everything will sort out in 2 weeks.

Honestly I think it’s your teams past reputation and underperformance that is the reason for your ranking.

Put State 6’ under and that will help everyone to move past the previous teams lackluster performances.

I'm nervous about that one. We struggle at State and they're playing teams tough.

I'm just glad Jimbo isn't in charge, otherwise we'd be a lock to lose.

I don’t understand it at all.
Tennessee is ranked 11th. A&M is ranked fourteenth.

A&M lost to ND in week one.
Tennessee lost to Arkansas (who A&M beat).
Tennessee beat Florida in OT at home. A&M beat Florida by 13 on the road and it would’ve been a lot worse if we didn’t put in the backups.
Tennessee’s best win is probably OU, which was by 10 points.
A&M knocked the daylights out of Missouri.

I’m struggling to see what the reasoning the voters used to put Tennessee ahead of A&M. Can someone shed some light on this?


I agree.

A&M has a better win, and a their loss is better.

It won’t matter soon, as the schedule will work all of that out.

Just keep winning.

Definitely don’t sleep on State. They were pesky as hell in Austin. Much more fight than the Sooners.

And they'll have some mojo after the UGA game.

The good news is, our defense seems better than any team they've played, and certainly our front seven will be a monster for the freshie State QB to handle.

I doubt many voters do that much analysis.

State has an offense with an identity….Sooners have no idea who they are on offense.

Dude it's called just win. We're right at halfway through the season. Lot of ball left to play.

The eyes on the voters are in wait and see approach due to Texas A&M annual fall off the clift in the second half of the season.

We have played both of them. aTm is a better team than tenner. And I say this as someone that has zero respect for aTm and their fan base.
