Tennessee not being ranked #1 is a disgrace to college football.

UGA beat their FCS opponent by 33. UT beat theirs by 41. UT + 8.

UGA beat Kent St. by 17. UT beat Akron by 57. Kent St. only beat Akron by 6. UT +34.

UT is 42 points better than UGA! Transitive property says so!

Some fans just wanted to make it known that Tennessee has looked more impressive than Clemson, who beat Syracuse 27-21, while other fans began to call out Ohio State, who beat Iowa 54-10.

Clemson does not deserved to be ranked #5. Bama, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Ohio State would beat them by 40

Tennessee has overtaken OSU as the #1 scoring offense in the nation and is the only team to average >50ppg.

Say what you want about Clemson being undefeated. No one can convince me that’s not a program in decline.
Tennessee beats Clemson by 4 TD’s.
