There is not a single credible argument why Tennessee should be ranked behind Alabama on Tuesday. If they are, throw out the ranking. They have the exact same record. Tennessee beat Kentucky (Alabama’s best win) by the exact same margin as Alabama did, and Tennessee didn’t trail deep into the third quarter.
If Alabama’s win over MSU is a good win, Tennessee’s win over Auburn (who beat Georgia) is a better win.
FSU and Ga Tech are 3-5 and 2-6.
In Alabama’s two losses, they played two ranked teams and lost by a total of 19 points (once at home and once on the road).
In Tennessee’s two losses, they played two ranked teams and lost by a total of 6 points (once at home and once on the road).
Most importantly, the defining data point, by far, when comparing these two teams is the football game played in Neyland Stadium three weeks ago where Tennessee beat Alabama senseless.

LeBron James was born to a 16-year-old single mother in Akron, Ohio. He bounced between friends just to have a place to sleep. Then this country handed him everything.
It gave him over $500 million in NBA salary and over $1 billion more in endorsements and business deals. Forbes puts his net worth at $1.4 billion. He was the first active NBA player in history to become a billionaire.
And when the national anthem plays for the country that made all of that possible, he can't give it two minutes of respect.
No hand over his heart. No standing still. He's goofing around, flailing his arms, flapping around, pretending to shoot a basketball, doing literally anything except honoring the flag that turned a kid from Akron into a billionaire.
That's not a protest. That's not a statement. That's just disrespect.
Millions of Americans work their whole lives and never see a fraction of what this country gave him. Men and women died so he could play a game for a living in front of sold-out arenas. The least he could do is stand there and act like it means something.
Hey @nbc @NBCSports @MLB your sound has sucked all day. And putting playoff games behind a $20 pay wall is so on brand its not even funny. How inept can you be in your effort to grow the game
And with that decision at half, the beginning of the end is here for the Prime era @JakeDNVR @ScottProcter_
The RIGHT decision. But that is a damning reflection of where the Buffs are in Year 4. No way to paint this pretty.

Heavy rain with pea size hail and some marble mixed in Keenesburg 6:30pm @BianchiWeather @CReppWx
FYI when you buy a brand new $700,000+ @Lennar home this is the kind of shotty craftsmanship they try to hide instead of being forthcoming or just fixing it the right way. What an absolute joke.
