We’re the best!

mrmax86 · Dec 11, 2024

Won last night, and were rewarded by being dropped in the NET and KPI. Guess we should have beat them by 25.

mrmax86 · Dec 18, 2024

Forgot to bump thread Monday when I updated. Consider this the Monday Bump.

Still #1 in the AP Poll as well.

I do believe that Auburn is playing the best basketball in the country right now and that their schedule has them destined for the #1 overall seed barring a massive collapse, but the fact remains that Tennessee hasn't lost while Auburn has.

Yikes Auburn is close. They may pass us before SEC play due to our soft schedule.

Which TN basketball game doesn’t count to their record?

They probably will just pass us naturally then we lose our first game. At Florida and at Texas will be a tough back to back stretch.

The exhibition game versus Indiana.

mrmax86 · Dec 28, 2024

Updated after week 8 AP Poll release. Auburn continuing to creep up on us. Can we stay #1 all the way into SEC play?

mrmax86 · Dec 30, 2024

Update 12/30. We lost some votes but still have all 41 first-place votes from last week. GBO!

Thunder Good-Oil · Dec 30, 2024

One more week to go to break the longest ever number of weeks as #1.

4x: 12/9/2024 - 12/30/2024

Updated. We remain the #1 team in the country and picked up 4 more first-place votes. Something I noticed is that there were 62 voters in Weeks 6-8, 61 voters last week, and 60 voters this week. It looks like we aren't losing points, but rather, voters are not voting

Here's our "Points per voter" metrics for the AP Poll since we got to #1:

Week 6: 1544 points, 62 voters, 24.90 PPV
Week 7: 1537 points, 62 voters, 24.79 PPV
Week 8: 1528 points, 62 voters, 24.64 PPV
Week 9: 1504 points, 61 voters, 24.66 PPV
Week 10: 1484 points, 60 voters, 24.73 PPV

Updated. Our AP Rank is now in alignment with our average Analytical Ranking

TrapVol · Jan 13, 2025

Wow. We really got punished for that 30 point loss. Despite that, I didn’t expect us to drop out of the top 5, even if I’m not completely convinced we are top 5.

Combination of getting blasted by 30 and the five teams ahead of us playing extremely well, including the team that beat us.

Down 2 in the AP Poll, to 8th. Up 1 in the computer rankings average. It seems that as far as the computers go, there's a big separation between 3rd and 4th, and between 7th and 8th. This creates a 1a and 1b tier. We are 1b. Solid 2-seed most likely.

Looking at KenPom only...
