rankings are so inaccurate. If you were talking betting a lot of lower ranked teams would be favored over higher ranked teams. Makes no sense.

Polls are stupid. They should let Vegas rank the teams.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

Along those lines, the Vols have moved to an 11 point favorite. No one is betting on Kentucky. And that worries me.

That's just indicative of Josh Dobbs getting more and more awesome with each passing day.
