Tennessee loss to UR Florida...SEC bias

I'm curious to see how Tennessee is ranked after a loss to an unranked team. Our loss to Duke looked horrible initially but Duke is a ranked team now. I'm assuming to keep the narrative pure, Florida may be ranked ahead of us this week and Tennessee drops to around 18. Thoughts?

Duke is not Florida and Wallace Wade is most certainly not The Swamp.

Duke would beat Florida this year based on what I have seen to date.

I do not disagree with this assessment.

Florida went 6-7 last year. Lost to vandy and got blown out by Oregon state.
They rank 107th in returning production from that 6-7 team including having lost one of the top qbs in the draft.
Granted the swamp and Wallace wade are not comparable. But they are a long way from the Tebow years.

My thoughts are all over the place. Is there any team you 100% trust this season?
UGA's offense looks terrible under Bobo.
I have NO idea what is going on in Tuscaloosa.
It took Texas 3 quarters to wake up.
Washington and USC look scary but does anybody trust their defenses?
Notre Dame hasn't played anybody.
Ohio State looks BAD at QB.
FSU $H!T the bed against BC.
Tennessee dropped 2 spots last week after a sleep walk win against Austin Peay. They probably end up around 20. Florida was man handled by Utah without Cam Rising. They MAY sneak into the top 25. We'll say 24 for now. I think the Tigers end up around 22 b/c Duke has been really consistent since they beat Clemson and that loss, albeit a BAD loss, was a close game until the avalanche of turnovers buried the Tigers late.
My top 5 this week would be:
1. Texas
2. FSU
3. Southern Cal
4. Washington
5. Notre Dame
I am a HEAVY QB and what have you done so far this season lean. I don't trust Carson Beck and Mike Bobo. I think they are going to cost UGA a game or 2. Also, they struggled in the 1st half at home against a Scar team that got walked by UNC.

Spot on assessment brother. Only thing I would say different is my top 5. I got Ohio in there in place of Washington. Washington looks good though.
Next week will be interesting after everything pans out. Should have a much better understanding of how the season will shape up. We need to take care of business and I really hope that Notre Dame beats the bucknuts

I'm sure the media will say something alone the lines of "Well Tennessee hasn't won in the Swamp for 20 years. So it's not that bad of a loss." Something to gaslight College Football fans.

Florida will not be ranked ahead of us.
Clemson will be ranked at best 23.
Tennessee at best will be no higher than 20.

I was pretty close in my guess. AP has Florida above us

Nailed it. Clemson is in the ACC so they have to suck...

And the SEC is soooo deep. Who cares if they have lost to everyone OOC?
