Well let’s have a look at their relevant records. Bama: 2-1 (Georgia doesn’t count because Tennessee hasn’t played any team that good), wins over #11 Kentucky and #21 LSU, loss to #8 Tennessee. Tennessee: 2-2, win over #3 Bama and #11 Kentucky, losses to unranked Sakerlina and #6 Texas.

So Alabama’s relevant record is better. Alabama has a worse record because they’ve played Georgia and Tennessee hasn’t, but we don’t compare apples to oranges.

Well let’s compare Apples to Apples then. You can do that if two teams play a game. Good news! They did! What happened in that game? Oh! Tennessee won!

Except there’s one issue the committee adjusts to performance. So they lost to #6 Texas and #16 South Carolina.

So losing to a top ten opponent is weighted more than that top ten opponent beating you? So it’s a bad win for one and a good loss?? What

We’ll head to head is a factor but theirs three other categories that help Alabama like missing key players due to injury, their sos is better, and they’re sor is better. It’s not hate but if you’re Tennessee you just can’t lose to South Carolina there and expect to be ranked higher than Alabama

Yea but it doesn’t mean much anymore because of the injuries they had from the week before. If Alabama and Tennessee played tomorrow on a neutral field Alabama would be favored

Omg, you act like other teams don’t have injuries. 🙄 That is a non-factor and just part of the fucking game. Every team has injuries bro. Tennessee’s starting qb out hurt since Texas, Farooq out, Moe out, Ethan Davis out. A good team overcomes in spite of injuries. Spare me with that sob story.
