And @AVXL , I didn't say USC should be ranked at 7-5, but the only reason they're not ranked is because they had to play Washington, Oregon, Notre Dame, Arizona, Utah, and UCLA. Plus they scheduled 5 road games, unlike Tennessee's mere 4 road games, and had just 2 OOC cupcakes unlike Tennessee's 4 cupcakes.

You give Tennessee's schedule to USC, and they almost certainly go 8-3 and end up with some bullshyt top-15 ranking like LSU has.

You give USC's schedule to Tennessee, and they go 7-5 at best, more likely 6-6, and are nowhere near the fukking rankings.



Pac-12 has seven teams this year (UW, UO, Arizona, OSU, Utah, UCLA, and USC) who have done more than Tennessee has. And yet they're not ranked, and Tennessee is, solely because Tennessee had a far easier schedule than any of them and gets the benefit of SEC bias.

And every Pac-12 team played 9 in-conference opponents including at least 4-5 of those seven quality opponents, while SEC squads with just an 8-game in-conference schedule only play 2-3 quality teams better than Tennessee. Yet despite that far harder in-conference schedule, the Pac-12 teams generally STILL have a better OOC look this season than the SEC did.

Of course the ATL
Please, explain to me how the fukk Tennessee is good and Utah is not, especially when Utah has better wins, no bad losses, a harder schedule, and whupped one of the teams that beat Tennessee.

Make just ONE argument for Tennessee being more deserving of a ranking than Utah. I really want to hear this shyt.
Utah has a better win (Florida)

However the Vols are objectively a better offensive team (statistically across the board), similar defensive profile (Utah slightly better but they both give up about 20 a game) and Vols play in a better conference

Breh, Florida isn't Utah's best win, Florida is Utah's THIRD best win. Beating UCLA and winning on the road at USC are both better wins than Florida. :laff:

You just accidentally admitted that Utah has THREE wins better than Tennessee's best win. :dead:

How the fukk do you use circular reasoning every fukking time? You can't just spuriously claim that the SEC is a better conference in order to support your argument that the SEC is a better conference. :dead:


And you can't use a statistical argument when one team plays a murderous schedule and the other team plays a cupcake schedule. Didn't you already learn that with Kentucky? Utah only played one OOC cupcake this year, UT played three. That alone distorts the stats past any comparison. Plus Utah played 5 road games while UT only played 4, and Utah played 6 squads with at least 7 wins while UT only played 4 of them.

So of course Utah will have less impressive stats, they didn't run up the scoreboard against a bunch of shyt teams like Austin Peay, UTSA, Virginia and UConn. In fact, take out those four easy-ass OOC games and Tennessee got outscored 197-147 this year. Their stats outside of those games would be ASS.

This has been an incredible exposal.
