Polls?

Favorites never see they are treated any differently but everyone else does

That's true sometimes but not always. Alabama has received special treatment in the past but I don't see it here.
Sometimes it's used as an excuse.

I see a team beaten by both UT and Vandy with the same record as UT, ranked higher than UT. Surely you see that it was purely cache that tipped the scales?

I see a team that was beaten last weekend fall in the polls. Same as every other team that was beaten. When those teams fall other teams move up. That's how polls have always worked. I think the rankings would be the same if the teams were reversed.

Someone is just deflecting from the fact that Georgia is saying their the vols daddy.

Thru all of this one thing has remained the same for years, and that's that if you lose early, you have an advantage/time to climb back up in the polls, and losing late in the season takes that advantage away significantly.

Exactly what I was going to say. It's not necessarily who you lose to but when you lose. It happens every year.

But hurt still cause we are better than your team?

According to who?

According to who?

Well we won the game 3rd saturday in October did we not?

So using that line of reasoning, you must think Arkansas is better than TN and Vandy is better than Alabama.
