Espn headline roller

[VFL-82-JP]

The CFP poll is the one the actually use once it comes out. They only ignore it when it suits their narrative.

Yeah, exactly.

Not shocking. Butch is adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, and somehow making big important accomplishments somehow seem irrelevant.

That's the spirit I've come to expect from u!!

 

[dcm3w]

Hell yeah brother, let's keep that streak alive woooooo

 

['Boro-vol]

I'm glad you follow my comments so closely. It's good to have fans.

That is really stretching for negativity. It's obvious whoever wrote the scroll did so with a Georgia Tech slant. In that same scroll they note that Georgia Tech is 5-1 in their last 6 games vs the SEC. Hmmm....

 

[YankeeVol]

1st meeting since 1987. Georgia Tech hasn't beaten a ranked Tennessee team since 1966

 

[volnpowell]

says Tennessee has a 4 game losing streak while ranked as an ap 25 team? Is that true?

I almost posted about this too

True. But misleading.

The last four games we played while ranked in the AP poll were:

• 8 Oct '16 -- ranked #9 -- lost to A&M
• 15 Oct '16 -- ranked #9 -- lost to Bama
• 29 Oct '16 -- ranked #18 -- lost to USCe
• 26 Nov '16 -- ranked #24 -- lost to Vandy

But in weeks where the CFP is published, it should take precedence over the AP. It is clearly the more important poll.

The last four games we played while ranked by the most significant active poll looks more like this:

• 29 Oct '16 -- ranked #18 (AP) -- lost to USCe
• 19 Nov '16 -- ranked #19 (CFP) -- beat Mizzou
• 26 Nov '16 -- ranked #17 (CFP) -- lost to Vandy
• 30 Dec '16 -- ranked #21 (CFP) -- beat Nebraska

Kind of crazy how ESPN is blind to anything but the AP, even when a more important result is available. They do that with the pre-1950 national championships, too.

Also they posted G.T. win streak vs SEC... NO BIAS THOUGH RIGHT?

I watched the wv vt game, and quit flipping back and forth when the score was 44-10 or something like that. The other game was really good. Wish i had kept flipping though

 

[volfannbama]

Nope

Thanks for the input. Another poster has actually already proved it to be true. Technically anyway.

The second half of the WV/VT was one of the most exciting 30 minutes of football I've watched in a while. I've never seen so many big plays in one game.

It's common knowledge that MSESPN is fake news.

How is it fake news, its true? Baised but true

Yep.

Just trying to see if my Red Sox won last night and I get a lecture about Kap. Maybe alternate news is a better term.

 

[rynrem]

It also said we are 6-0 at neutral sites

 

[igotworms]

I'm surprised Marty Smith has time to breath seeing how he spends all his time with his head up Saban's arse

Just a typical hipster douche who only follows what's hot or trendy with no thought of reality or prudence
Hair cut proves this

Amazing that they're still talking about Kaepernick.

You ain't lying brotha.

I wouldn't call that having fans. Everyone just knows your shtick, similar to D4H.

Awwww....of course you can join too. Happy to have you.

Go Vols!

I thought Nebraska was ranked...

Were we ranked after the Vanderbilt loss though?

Well to be fair, a lot of that came from the Yellow Jackets playing 3 SEC teams in games on their schedule last year. We have only played a total of 2 ACC teams in the last 5-6 years.
