  • We beat our instate rival and dropped out? Wtf, I thought we were cool AP voters?

    • I know you're sort of joking, but do you really want to be ranked with 4 losses? Every pundit/analyst worth their salt was ruthlessly mocking Tennessee, the AP voters, and the CFP committee last week for being ranked.

      When Texas has a mediocre season, I don't even want them receiving votes. It tends to create an OvErRaTeD narrative and becomes an unnecessary distraction. Heck, it happens to us so much that someone (probably on TexAgs) coined a term for it: the BOMC (burnt orange media conspiracy).

      • I'm partially overcompensating for the previous 2 decades of vol football and partly in denial. I don't really think we deserved to be ranked, but it hurts to see Toledo, Arizona and JMU to be ranked ahead of us. No sleight to them, they've had great seasons and actually deserve a ranking. But when dealing with anyone under 30 (my peers for the most part) Tennessee is seen as second class at best and as a result I've got some sort of inferiority complex when we don't have a little number next to our name. This year was disappointing to say the least, but I had to watch Garuntano throw consecutive pick sixes against kentucky, and I still can't go a week without seeing a reference to the "champions of life". Times we were genuinely bad and I wanted to not wear PMS 151 c in public. This year our ceiling was still just as high as it was last year, we just had zero consistency to capitalize on it. It's sad and I won't try to spin it, but I still can't admit that we don't deserve to be ranked. We appropriated BAS as BVS and I guess this is just one of the way it manifests for me. I'll just always be willing to fight and die on the UT is a blueblood hill.
