#12 ranking in AP Poll

[TVOLS]

This ranking is voided due to LSU.

It is what it is. Win all the games…take all the awards. I prefer to be #12 with a chip on our shoulder until after we win the SEC and NCAA Championships. Then no one can argue and all debate is over….we #1.

 

[EODVOL]

Clemson, WTF! Plz, someone make it make sense!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

We started last year ranked 24th and the season turned out to be terrific. UT will find itself in the top ten sooner than later. My money is on LSU knocking off FSU. I don't see Texas beating Bama week 2. Additionally, Clemson goes on the road to face a Duke team that won 9 games last year. That could be a dark horse week one upset if Dabo does not have his team prepared. Vols likely finish 2-0 after the second week going to the swamp as a top ten team. GBO!!!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

not sure why the love fest for LSU this year

A lot of returning talent with one of the better QBs in the SEC. Brian Kelly is also a good coach.

Guess for the 17th straight year Texas is back

I'm convinced that people vote for Texas in preseason polls just because it's easy to find on a map. If ever there was a team that should be in the "show me" category . . .

You mean like ND? Oh wait there they are lmao.

Still relevant:

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Remind me again what type of ice cream the family likes or their favorite TV shows.

I forgot, I've got to go and rewatch the game. How far did they drive from Texas? I've got to find that out too....

All opinion based, what’s fact is they lost two out of their last three ball games with a win against Perdue.

 

[Adam Sandler]

I can’t stand Bama. I hope they 90% of their games

Assuming the missing word here is “lose”, my only question is what are the 10% of games you hope they win? I’d be fine with them losing 100% of their games.

 

[a vol n tears]

Ga seems to be the only team that has a great shot at being undefeated. Loser of Mich/OSU falls to #4. That leaves 1 spot for somebody to make the playoffs. Probably an SEC team. Ala, LSU, or Tenn

However, the season is long, upsets and injuries happen, or somebody steps on the team logo in the lockerroom.

 

[UTK]

So Clemson is 3 spots ahead of us. Riiiiiight

True

If only there was a way that could have be determined on the field…oh wait

Is a lot of the returning talent and head coach the same we ran out of their stadium last year?

It is but they also won the SECW last year.

 

[lynnh]

But Clemson has Cade Klubenic.

Yeah.... and until Orange Bowl Cade hadn't lost game since middle school.

 

[GBOTango]

12 is a pretty good spot. Got some respect, and something to work with. I like it.

 

[allenrikvik]

I have Vols at #10. Weighted average of GOOD MILTON (5-7 range) and BAD MILTON (14-18 range), with defense improving

Watching that Fla St / Ole Miss may be over-rated, while Notre Dame / Tx A&M may be underrated.

Ohio State 0 96.84
Michigan 0 92.36
Alabama 0 91.08

Clemson and Washington too high, imo. I also question placement of ND and Utah in their spots. Tulane is interesting.

 

[A2K]

Not much into pre season rankings but Clemson at 9 seems so dis respectful that it feels like somebody just took a shot at us.

Yeah, I think LSU is being oversold at #5. Not sure they'll do much more than last year. That was a pretty nice season they salvaged, but I'm not sure I'm buying #5.
