Vols #13 in AP Poll

When you make a post like this, it would be good to include the sport in the title. Even tough it was in the basketball forum, one doesn't see that when the thread is under the right hand column "Vols Forum Threads". I almost fell out of my chair after reading all the negative football threads and then seeing that thread title.

What’s weird about it? They beat multiple top 25 teams by 40 and have arguably the most impressive wins of the season
No brackets. The next opponent after a win is normally playing another team who had won the previous game. From there you have a winner's bracket and a loser's bracket. I will bet you a shiny new dime there are at least 2 teams from that "festival" that advance further than Michigan in the NCAA tournament. I will bet another shiny new dime at least 2 will have a better regular season and be ranked on average better for the whole season than Michigan

So, we beat Houston and we are ranked several spots lower than them. How does that compute?
Take a glance at the metric based ratings:

I would bet most AP voters glance at these prior to casting a vote, as these are updated daily. There is also inherent bias and the public disclosure of the AP ballots.

Another resource as we get closer to March will be:


The Bracket Matrix is currently only registering 68 brackets. That will slowly increase to well over one hundred in March.

No. It’s on the basketball forum.
