AP Poll #17

[Just a VolinTears]

So we drop 6 spots for losing at Bama. Makes no sense man

Losing on the road in a self imploding fashion doesn’t warrant a drop in the polls? Lmao. People must still be drunk or hungover or just dumb.

 

[KeyVol14]

Fair ranking. We can get to 10-2 and still make the playoffs. Perhaps McCoy is back if we have something to play for

 

[Carl Pickens]

GA Tech, VA and TT are not better than the Vols

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

They must have watched the game.

 

[MEDVOL]

Actually not too bad imo.

We're not making the playoffs.

Actually, surprising but then again, a lot of Top 25 teams lost as well this weekend

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Fair ranking. We can get to 10-2 and still make the playoffs.

 

[UTFranklinVol]

IMO it could have been way worse. UT looked embarrassing last night. humiliated.

 

[BradstarVols]

Not bad considering

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Just win Vols! Get fired up!

 

[IndianaVol]

Only thing I scratch my head about on this poll is the distance back from ND.

Makes perfect sense with the way we played and the margin of loss. If we win out we will be in the top 10 at end of regular season.

I think they are looking at the remaining schedule and realizing OU, UF, and Vandy are all up for grabs too. We lost to the 2 good teams we played. 2 unranked teams took us down to the wire. 8-4 is more likely than 10-2. This team isn’t getting better week to week.

I think it makes perfect sense. In fact, after how we played against Arkansas and how we played last night, I think we're lucky to be on the AP Top 25 List at all. Kudos to Vandy for winning their way into the top 10.

“Here we are again, talking about the same things!”

TN needs to win out and cheer for the teams who beat us. Not a great feeling just past the midway point, but this year was supposed to be an easy schedule and next year is going to be much more difficult.

 

[KeyVol14]

We're not making the playoffs.

Guess no reason to watch the rest of the year then

Projected to Duke Mayo bowl vs….. DUKE. Rather play Belichick but bowl eligibility may be difficult for the Tar Heels.

Belichick isn’t even going to make a bowl lol. I’d love to give him a whipping but hard to do that when he’ll be lucky to even win 3 games at this rate

You’re correct. I don’t see any improvement at all. We have to accept we are what we are and possibly take the “orange glasses” off. Possibly, we might improve and get some key personnel on the field, but none of our upcoming games are a cakewalk. I’m holding out with hope as being a long time supporter, but again, we haven’t improved thus far

 

[MtnVol]

That #18 team is why we're not elite. Golish was Heups secret to success. Since he left things haven't been the same.

That's up to you

Heupel playing for a chance to have a tub of mayonnaise dumped on him for winning a game should be a fireable offense to be honest.

Agree. Fair ranking. I thought we’d be in the 20 range.
