So your own perspective is that name should matter more than actual games? Bama is ranked as high as they are on name alone. Not this season's accomplishments.

it's hard to defend a team in this context that gave up 6 trillion points to Spencer Rattler. I don't like it, but I understand it. That's all I'm saying.

This is exactly what I have advocated for years. Wear the black hat with pride. From the players, to the coaches, to UT admin, through the fanbase.

We gain zero by going along to get along. Zero. Meanwhile the cronies continue to gain and entrench themselves.. Call it out and then take all the frustration out on field. Call out the officials when needed - have a fund ready to pay the fines. Just make sure you call out Birmingham at the same time for trotting their cronies out there. What are they going to do, tell us to leave? There would be 2 or 3 P5's make huge offers for us to join within 2 seconds of that happening and Birmingham knows it.

Have some **** pride. Quit going along to get along. UT is an international brand in and of itself. They need us far worse than we need them. 4/6 highest rated TV games this season in CFB - your Tennessee Volunteers.

ESPN can go pound sand. They need ratings and money to survive. Play them for the prostitutes they are.

I cannot wait until Heup has a roster of all his guys. He knows, he's dealt with this stuff his whole career as has Danny White.

“Play them for the prostitutes they are.”
I will forever think of ESPN as prostitutes now!

Who has Bama beaten to be ranked so high? It's not only about Bama being ranked above Tennessee, but why is Bama ranked so high to begin with? When the answer is "because they're Bama" and has nothing to do with their actual on-field resume, that's a problem.

Because they started the season ranked high. Preseason rankings strike again.

Listen...the only reason I get why ya put Bama ahead of TN is because we lost Hooker.

And if they'd just say that I'd probably bitch less about the rankings.

"We've got Bama ahead of TN in these rankings because TN without Hooker isn't the same team and we don't think they're as good with him out."

100% I agree with that statement too.

Only issue I have with that is that we produced a 56-0 shutout win with Milton over an SEX school who has wins over Florida and Will Levis. Speaking of Levis, our win over him should be enough to get in the playoffs by itself.

Edit: can't believe I haven't made that typo before. . . SEC not SEX.

It’s hard to defend a team whose best win was a 1-pt win over an 8-4 Texas team who played most of the game without their starting quarterback. That’s all we’re saying.

Yeah all the old criteria still holds true…. I knew we would be behind them bc we lost late in the season and by a huge margin…. Need cpu to pick the teams.

Get your mind out of the gutter!!!

Listen we have watched the Vols more than anyone else...no one and I mean NO ONE in this thread will say the Vols are as good or better with Milton starting instead of Hooker. So if that's the angle then I would at least agree with it, even if I still don't like it.

Yet you appear to be defending Bama, a team that needed help from the officials to avoid a loss to Texas. Only 3 of Bama's wins are over FBS teams with a winning record. Three, out of a 12-game schedule. Tell me again how they should be in the Top 10 and ahead of Tennessee, a team they lost to.

How do we really know this? The only game we've seen is a downpour where the WRs were slipping everywhere. When he was in on mop up duty it looked like there was zero drop off. So no we cannot with confidence say that
