Peyton is probably losing because all the Vol fans are preparing for a bowl and A&M is already done. Then again, this is the same A&M fanbase that was disqualified last year. They cheated the system while voting against us in a best-stadium poll.
If you compare the population of TN to that of Tx, this is probably no real surprise. Their comparative football abilities most likely have little to do with the vote. Also, people come on this site and try to take horse-puckey polls to identify the greatest TN players. You may have noticed that the more recent players are the greater they are. Johnny Football is about 20 years "greater" than Peyton.
At the current rate of 5 votes for .01%. We would need 375 Peyton votes to tie. Let's go people!!
