You overlook one key factor though, Saban absolutely loathes Kiff.
I mean realistically Saban is probably ambivalent at worse about Heup. They talk before games, at meetings, etc. They are friendly enough but certainly don't chit chat on FB. Point being, his ego can stand losing to Heup, especially this year. The Vols are a great story.
Little Nicky just could not stomach losing to Lane. I'm not sure how he would stop if if it was inevitable, but the man would find a way. We all have those guys we have come across who just rub us the wrong way. We act nice and say the polite things in public. In reality though, we wanna go feral on them at any opportunity. Kiff is that guy for Saban.
Nick will be mad as hell when Alabama loses to Ole Miss in Oxford and that loss costs Alabama a trip to the SEC Championship Game.You overlook one key factor though, Saban absolutely loathes Kiff.

And Ohio State hasn't played any ranked team. They later get Penn State who just got blasted & Michigan at the end of the season. The northern media loves OSU that's why they get the votes.Man we are all the talk on all the networks right now. Maybe we squeak out a 2 but I would be shocked. Either way it’s been nothing but TN on all the networks since the W.

Nick hates the new wave of coaches. He likes 2 TEs and a fullback offenses. He does the 4& 5 WR deal but he’s not committed to it in his philosophy.
My thinking/gut is that the SEC is at a changing of the guard moment, like when Spurrier got Florida going. Not downplaying tonight at all.
Lane can scheme, he’s no dummy. But his biggest opponent is himself.
I still think Georgia will hold 1. My fair and unbiased top 3?
1 Georgia
2 Michigan
3 Tennessee
I think that we would take Michigans lunch money but they may get more votes because they murdered Penn State. It is funny how when Tennessee beats Alabama it’s somehow not as big of a win to the talking heads.
They are absolutely NOT in upset mode.It’s very difficult for the number 1 team to upset anybody. That is the altitude where UT is now. You guys will have to get used to it. You can still whine, but I wouldn’t.
I’m praying for Arizona St.
Time to tear it up, go Vols!
