The difference for Bama was their win over Kentucky.

How high does Tennessee climb?

If no - if Tennessee keeps winning at some point the head to head will matter. They may wait until the result of LSU/Tennessee.

By the committee’s own reasoning last week UT has to be. This arse-whooping of UK moves UT into the same pod as Bama and UT’s 16 point win over Bama moves UT ahead

Bama embarrasses LSU and should actually drop in the rankings

No. Bama beat USC. UT lost. Bama gets more credit for the LSU win as well

I have zero problems with TN being ranked higher than Bama.

No. They would have to jump Texas before Bama. How would you do that when Texas won head to head. Texas would need to move ahead of Bama first and Bama had the better win this week. Maybe next week it can happen but not this week.

I got Vols as 9th, don't have any ranked teams left on schedule. Will have to hope people in front lose and drop.

Tennessee will make a big jump regardless.

Really with Kentuckys loss it should put Texas and Bama next to each other in the rankings, and the outcome against common opponents should bump Texas over them. Tennessee should also get that bump over them as well (but probably won’t).

In a fair and just world. Head to head doesn't matter i guess anymore, or not with Alabama. Alabama may more up more than Tennessee because the Vols just made Alabamas loss look even stronger

UT should be a spot ahead of Bama.

Also, I’d love to see UT keep winning so that Bama doesn’t have to play in the SEC title game. Sad era when it’s to your advantage to not play in a conference title game.
