Tennessee STILL receiving votes.
We know the shady tactics of Tennessee/SEC. Obviously some serious dollars are being shelled out to give these guys Top 25 votes. I wonder if Louisville will slip into the BCS Top 25? I'll tell you what, this is one of Louisville's best weeks of the year and they haven't played a single game! :laugh:
Mountain West Conference fans are strangely quiet. . .
I give Tenn some cred, they lose the tight games and they never seem to have luck on their side, and hopefully won't this weekend
As long as Notre Dame can put up points they should handle Tennessee. The Vols have a HORRIBLE offense.
That they are. No complaints from me. Perhaps the daunting idea of Rutgers being bowl bound, potentially in the Top 25 in the coming weeks, and the fact that our two best teams are both in Top 25.

Tenn deserves NO credit. They suck, plain and simple. They cannot score to save their souls. UofL and WVU would beat the crap out of South Carolina this season and I think other BE teams would beat them as well. Tenn however laid down like a little bit** and took it from a weak Carolina team. They just laid down and quit last night. Not a good team at all.
The SEC voters apparently have no shame at all.
I can't believe UT still got votes. And they got more votes than South Carolina!!!
Then look at where Georgia and Florida are after Florida beat Georgia - and they beat them fairly well IMHO.
The SEC voters are either unbelievable homers or just out of touch with reality. I know it's rare for the SEC to be so down in football across the conference, but the reality is that they are down this year. Why don't they just take their lumps and move on?
It all has to do with recruiting and $$$. That's why they are trying to keep the Big East and the other smaller conferences down. Recruits like rankings and the SEC can keep more recruits in the fold, instead of them bolting for programs like ours, if they keep their teams ranked. Also sports programs don't often mention unranked teams...thus less publicity and attention. If we could get the eastern block of sports writers to be hommers for the big east...we would probably have three teams ranked, more publicity, more recruiter interest, more teams on TV which means more $$$$. :mad:
