Vols are tied for #2 because of one AP voter

[bpalmer28]

It’s right for us to have to earn it. Georgia is the undefeated defending National Champions. They should be #1 until someone knocks them off.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Too bad we haven't played Alabama yet to settle this.

Oh, wait.

 

[WillisWG]

Head to head competition results ignored by a Homer with his head up his arse

 

[VolPack22]

Criminal to have Bama ahead of us..

Literally should have his vote removed.

When justifying having us 6 and Alabama 3 the week after we beat them, this dude actually cited TIME OF POSSESSION as one factor why he thought Alabama was better. Geez. By that metric, Kentucky is better than us as well.

Clearly Mike has never played the game.

 

[Manchester Vol]

Looks like he’s sitting on something. And I don’t mean something.

 

[vol66]

The truth is, at this moment in time, it doesn’t matter where we are ranked. Certainly, it makes no difference what a beat writer thinks.

 

[UCVOL]

Hopefully these upload in order. This is his explanation for his voting. What a display of arrogance. Seems very condescending

What a condescending jack wagon. Now I have a new person to troll on Twitter as we keep winning.

If he refuses to take his role seriously, I fail to see why he should have a vote. With that said, who cares? Just win.

We did.
We beat Alabama and he has them ABOVE US.

Dudes a moron. He brings up the Pitt OT win as a reason to hold UT back, but doesnt bring up Bamas 1 point win against Texas, or 4 point win against A&M?

 

[chattavol420]

I’d hate to see his Twitter feed right now!

I lit him up on Twitter myself earlier

 

[LittleVol]

Come on guys.
He's got a point.

Alabama's only loss is to an undefeated Tennessee .
So they definitely deserve to be ranked high...
Yup

Or Georgia's 4 point win over perennial college football powerhouse, 4-4 Mizzou.

 

[chuck0303]

Who has the Vols at #5

Alabama is #3

Gotta be a Yankee homer. Idiot!

I look at it as we're more efficient with our time.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Take away his ballot. Got a team that’s beaten more ranked opponents than the rest of the top 5 combined. But let’s put one of those wins above them.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Notre Dame, figures

Surprised he doesn’t have the Irish above us too. That loss to Ohio st has to mean something.

 

[Kristy*]

Too bad we haven't played Alabama yet to settle this.

Oh, wait.

His argument was that the home team gets 2.5 points. Someone should tell him we won by 3.

 

[hUTch2002]

He's succeeding in getting exactly what he wants: Attention.

Yep. He actually has a second atrocity in the top 10 too. Oregon with their 45-point loss shouldn’t be ahead of an undefeated TCU right now.

 

[VOL89grad]

Voter is clueless… anyone needing to use Voltaire and an outdated computer ranking model as justification has no business in ranking current football teams. Thought about it - reminds me of MoneyBall movie (and books)… just like the scouts in the movie, the way to evaluate talent had passed them by… the voter (like the scouts) is just threatened by our team as he (and nearly no-one else) believed our team should have been ranked in preseason. Seeing us in top-3 is just a reminder how out of touch they are with the game, winning, and range of change happening (NIL, re-alignment, etc).

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He is a ND homer. OSU beat ND in the opener. Of course he thinks OSU is #1.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

I lit his sorry azz up and might get a twitter ban lol...also messaged the AP and told them that they were complicit in this cuckolds ploy to gain unmerited attention if they allowed him to keep his vote. The AP credibility is diminished by this morons obvious trolling, not just this lackwit himself

F that guy
