Tennessee Beat Alabama. So Why Is Bama Ranked Higher?

Tennessee beat Alabama. So how much should head-to-head results matter when the playoff rankings come out?

We’re back from our bye week, and the football arguments picked up right where we left off. This week: Alabama vs. Tennessee, playoff expansion, whether conference championships still matter, and why winning a weak NFL division can still mean hosting a playoff game.

Plus, Tully sounds off about the Patriots, the guys discuss Tom Brady in the broadcast booth, and Neil explains why he skipped Alabama–LSU to sit in a deer stand.

And one question might say everything about modern college football: Does the NFL have more loyalty now?

Tell us in the comments: Should beating a team put you ahead of them in the rankings—or does the full schedule matter more?

Recording note: This conversation was recorded before the next Tuesday playoff rankings release. Rankings and records discussed reflect the conversation at recording.
