#11 not top 10.
They were # 8 when we beat them they dropped out of top 10 after we beat them. So its semantics if you are trying to prove Butch/UT is the worst of all time you conveniently go with the end of year top 10 versus what the team was when you beat them. Who cares anyway we are back sans the injuries.
It doesn't matter where they were ranked in the middle of the season though. They finished out the season in the Top 10. JS.
It only matters what they were ranked when Tennessee beat them. You can't be that dumb. Because they are what they are when Tennessee plays them. You don't project forward or backward.
Tennessee beat the 11th ranked team that day. Where they ended up is irrelevant.
