I'll give you 2 prime examples from the past week alone:

1) In no metric from the committees criteria should Bama be ahead of us in any rankings and if so why do we even play the games on the field?
2) Hendon Hooker should go to NYC by the stats and by the impact he had on his program - maybe not win - but should definitely be recognized for what he has done.

Tennessee fans are crazy because of the open bias against us from media, committee - etc. (and this is not the first year this has happened to our program - its just dejavu from when we used to be good)

Any of you would feel the same if it was your team. Our team had a fantastic season and has been nothing but disrespected. Rant over

Crazy conspiracy theory, but I do agree with your two points.

Not saying we deserved the playoffs or Hooker deserved to win the award - but being behind in both is just atrocious and drives me crazy

The eye test says 2 blowout losses is why the vols are behind bama in all of the rankings.

If the results were reversed, vols would be ahead of bama.

2 blowout losses in November tends to end with that result. It would for any team.

Getting shelled from orbit in Athens and Columbia like y'all did is proof that 6th was exceedingly kind.

Take a Top 10 finish and count yourself lucky. Next time win a big game and earn it.

LOL me and you both know this is NOT true. If Bama had the wins we had and beat us head to head and finished with the same record - no way we are ahead of them. Get real

It’s not a conspiracy when you are blown out in your two losses.

If we are going by that metric - Bama could be 8-4 with their miracle wins over texas and Aggie? Can't have a double standard. Tennessee blew everyone out in their wins

Winning at LSU by 4 touchdowns (beat them worse at their house than you did last week) and beating bama aren't "big wins" lol you beat us by 14 points. USCjr loss was way worse

You beat UF by 5 points at home and we suck.

We were boat racing you by 3 scores and you had probably the best onside kick in football history to cut it close. But congrats on the moral victory

Flukey 1 point wins at home in October just don’t have the same power.

You're up to your eyebrows in that yummy "tHe vOlS sHuT kIrBy dOwN in tHe 2Nd hAlF" Kool-Aid, I see.

If you haven't leaned that the 2022 Dawgs are coached to play with their food until it's time to finish them off, then I don't know what to tell you. Liquid mercy fell from the sky in Athens and y'all don't have the sense that God gave a goose to recognize it. The potential for injury/TOs in the slop weren't worth hanging 50 on your miserable program, so Kirby took the win in the most human manner possible.

Unsurprisingly, you don't appear to be intelligent enough to recognize that game's result for what it was. In better weather, the Dawgs likely would've broken 50 on principle, just because reasons, as evidenced in the SECCG.

We didn't beat everyone by 30 this year because it wasn't necessary to do so.

One blowout, but I digress.

Head to head should matter, as should strength of schedule, quality wins, all of which favor the Vols. Vols should be 5th, Bama should be 7th at best.

What fluke win did we have? We gifted Bama 7 points late in the 4th quarter and made the plays at the end to win by 3. No fluke and we were winning the whole game. God I might hate UGA fans now worse than UF/Bama fans.

Not unlike Texas, Tennessee is most assuredly NOT back. Y'all would've killed for a 10-2 season during Pruitt and Son of Dooley, and now that you have it, you inexplicably feel entitled to more.

Unreal.

I’m willing to listen…
Do you have a theory as to why they are biased against you?

2 east opponents beat the shite out of the vols in 3 weeks in November.

The 2 vol losses were so bad that they outweighed ALL of that.
