Alabama, of course, is the front runner in the rankings. And, they stomped the Tennessee Volunteers arse yesterday (it hurts to see our team drop so many spots). We had 7 starters either not start or play and the fans didn't have much affect even though we have one of the most feared stadiums in the country.
Oh, well. We have a bye week this week and we are no longer in the toughest part of our schedule. I'd really love to win out and play in the SEC Championship (maybe Texas A&M can surpass Alabama and we can play them again).
What do the first place votes achieve ? Does it give them more points ?
