So you are not delusional? You say MSU is lower tier, so much lower that they beat your middle team Auburn at Auburn? And UGA is middle above, UT and Vandy who they lost to last year? Claiming teams are better than UT does not put said team into top tier.
Last year has no bearing on this year, and I'm not ranking teams within the groupings. I'm just listing the teams within the groups. Mississippi State may have beaten Auburn but I am still convinced that Auburn will have a better record (and team) over the course of the entire season.
