It could be "we" remember when the dog wins in such matchups, and don't remember when they don't.

Possibly.
But any consensus on evenly-matched teams is flawed by default, no?
Hasn't the 4-team playoff showed us that there's nothing special about being #1 vs being #4?

I agree that the difference between a #1 ranked team and #5 often is well within any "margin of error" or determinant of a final outcome.  The final results could be quite close to 50-50.  A 3 point underdog wins a good portion of the time, a bit less than half.

I see the CFB polls moved the Dawgs to #2, which means ... nothing.  It's just kind of amusing to see what "they" come up with.

Bama fell to 15 after a competitve road loss to #7 and are the highest ranked 2 loss team.

Vandy is 25 in both polls, I like seeing that.  Guess who they play next Saturday!!!!!!!

A rather weird group of "finalists".

Particularly since they trash at least one of the vehicles. So why include it on the list?

The GMC Hummer EV SUV is the vehicle we hate to love. Corner almost any SUV of the Year judge, and alone they’ll whisper the praises of this bonko-ridiculo Hummer SUV. Put us all in a room together, however, and the hand wringing begins.

“An egregious waste of precious resources, not to be encouraged,” technical director Frank Markus bellowed. Features editor Scott Evans observed, “It’s gigantic and hard to find parking for, it’s grossly inefficient, and it’s all power and no brakes, which just feels like a recipe for disaster.” Head here for the full 2025 Hummer EV SUV SUVOTY review.

I do wonder why car makers make such vehicles, they can't expect to sell more than a few.  Maybe it's just imagery.

I wish they still made station wagons, though I wouldn't buy one.  Minivans are still around some.  Everything seems to be an "SUV" now, or truck.

I recall taking a trip in the backseat of a friend's Deville a while back, it was sumptuous, really, on the freeway quite comfortable.
