They both have identical records so help me understand why dysfunctional exhibit (A) holds more water than exhibit (B)?

Auburn scored more points on a better team than Tennessee?

As a DAWG fan and holding an independent perspective on such matters it’s blatantly obvious to me the the media is propping up Tennessee once again for an epic meltdown.

The only rankings that matter are the ones that come out in 2nd week of January.

Vol obsession. Did I do it right?

Why Is UGA ranked higher than Vandy ? Same record, both beat a mid tier ACC team.

The ones that allow teams entry into a playoff to be playing in the 2nd week of January seem important.

Also, fair or not, the early ones that bias the future ones also seem at least mildly interesting.

I don’t know much about Chattanooga but surely they’re better than Alabama A&M.

To answer your original question, because Nico > Thorne

No lies detected.

Both looked great though. It's going to be a fun year of football.

Deep State is out to get Auburn is the main reason.

I watched Aaron Murray’s breakdown of UT’s QB, and honestly they look pretty good.

Records are irrelevant at this point in the season.

I think Auburn is being undervalued right now and should be ranked. They have top 20 talent on their team. I also think its going to be hard for pollsters to rank enough SEC teams. Adding 2 ranked teams to conf I think pollsters are struggling with so many already ranked and this undervalues teams like Auburn who might deserve being ranked.

SoJ Stat Attack

Jeff Sagarin’s College Football Ratings

144 Chattanooga 53.22
239 Alabama A&M 35.77

According to one system UT’s opponent is ranked 95 places higher than Auburn’s .


Edit to add they are 239th out of 263 teams ranked.

Because screw Auburn.

Plus, Alabama A&M is one of the worst (if not the worst) team in the country.

Chattanooga would probably beat Alabama A&M by 4 TD’s. It doesn’t matter though. Nothing that happened this past Saturday for Auburn/Tennessee will have any impact on the rest of the season.
