VOLNUGS

What I’m gathering from the comments is that a certain fanbase doesn’t have any confidence in their team in the playoffs if they aren’t at home. Interesting.

I’ve never seen a fanbase so butt hurt about rankings in November.

He couldn’t have caught that ball with no defender.

No argument🙄 Bama SOS is 7th yours 25th Bama is 3-2 vs currently ranked teams Tenn is 2-2 Bama SEC win pt diff is 24 Tenn is 15. Tenn LOST to UNRANKED (at the time) SC. Bama beat SC by THIRTY ONE Can’t wait to see Vol Nation mental breakdown when Bama STILL ranked ahead

This was not called pass interference on Tennessee. The Tennessee defender is all over the Kentucky receiver prior to the ball arriving. That’s a bad missed call. This may have cost Kentucky the difference between a touchdown and a field goal as it was 4th down after this.

Tennessee’s path to Atlanta is still alive, but the Vols need a little help.. 🍊🏆 Here is what needs to happen for Tennessee to make the SEC Championship Game: 🏈 Win Out: First things first, the Vols must take care of business and win their remaining SEC games to finish 7–2 in the conference. 🔥The Alabama Tiebreaker: If Georgia takes the top spot and Tennessee finishes tied with Alabama at 7–2, the Vols head to Atlanta thanks to their head-to-head win over the Crimson Tide but... 👇👇👇 👉 Watch Out for Texas: If Texas drops another conference game, it clears a direct path. However, a three-way 7–2 tie between UT, Bama, and Texas will trigger complex SEC tiebreakers not favoring Tennessee.. Vols fans, how are we feeling about our chances? 👇 #GBO #Vols #SEC #CollegeFootball

So simple even hillbilly Tennessee fans should understand. 😎

Quick takeaways from Week 10: Georgia #1 in country ND & Miami are playoff bound Healthy Bama is an issue Lane & LSU chasing Bama ghosts Lanorris Sellers is a STUD Addition via subtraction for Utah Good lord A&M Neyland is difference maker CFP Committee feeling it

I don't hear any Tennessee stans demanding USC should've been ranked over Ohio State when they beat them. Why's that? 🏈

Why are vawls playing a song written by a famed Alabamian written in tribute to his equally famous Alabama native father? I thought according to the rules they have made up that only state-native songs are to be performed at football festivities

Oh I don’t want to rip you off. Huge Vol fan right now. Really want to see you get your reward (SECCG appearance).

My updated playoff bracket Only one change from last week: Wake in, Ole Miss out. Still like 25 or so teams with a very real shot to make it.

If you wanna look beyond the head-to-head of Tennessee and Alabama, I'll play along. What is Bama's best win? #15 LSU? Lost to the two top 10 teams they played. Tennessee has two top 6 wins and 2 losses by a combined 6 points.

My feed is full of dumb media takes on how Tennessee should be in front of Alabama after Saturday. Here’s why it’s just clickbait fan service: #7 Texas has a H2H over Tennessee. #21 SC (who Bama blew out) has a H2H over Tennessee in a triangle of wins. So you can’t just isolate Bama-Tennessee. There are several H2H wins at play because teams have multiple losses. Tennessee can’t jump Bama without jumping Texas, who beat them. Bama blowing out LSU on the road is a big deal - they’re a top-5 power rating team. Kentucky is not a top-15 power rating team, ranking aside. View resume off the quality of who you play, not their ranking. See my reply for proof this isn’t a new line of thinking from me / why it matters. Mississippi State is being considered a top-15 team for Bama by the CFPC. They’ve since lost about a third of their starters, including a Heisman contender QB, and are a shell of their former selves. But probably not fair to discredit Bama’s win in view of that. Alabama (FPI 3) is considerably higher rated than Tennessee (FPI 11) in terms of overall team quality.* They aren’t in comparable quality tiers. Alabama lost to Tennessee on the road, with 5 starters out injured, the week after a brutal Georgia game. As “quality losses” go, Bama’s to Georgia and Tennessee are probably the country’s most forgivable. Alabama has played 8 top-50 quality teams, tied with Oregon for the most among ranked teams. Tennessee has played 6. Bama has the #1 SOS in FEI. Bama’s 4 FEI top-30 wins (LSU, SC, UK, and TAMU) is the most nationally. And that doesn’t include MS State. *I usually prefer to use media-neutral FEI, but it isn’t updated as of this writing. FEI mentions are based on last week’s power rankings.

Why the fuck are yall so worried about a ranking during the season? Shut up and win out. The only ranking that matters are when the playoffs are selected. So stupid yall are bitching about to is still.
