If schedule strength is the top priority, Tennessee could be No. 1 and just about everyone else will get dinged for it -- even Georgia. Aside from Oregon, Georgia's FBS opponents are a combined 22-26, with only South Carolina (5-3) above .500. (Counterpoint: But the Dawgs look so good!) Nobody has a better win than the Vols, who beat Alabama and are No. 1 in the country in ESPN's strength of record metric, which says the average top-25 team would have just an 8% chance of achieving the same 8-0 record against Tennessee's schedule.
Look at the opponent’s record for Uga. No wonder they have one of the best defenses in the nation.
