Good.

 

[madbamahater]

We should be at 5 or 6. Miami should be right in there with us. No way they aren't top 10 or better right now.....

Just win. It's that simple. Sucks the Vols have the schedule they do, but it is what it is. If you're gonna be a top 5 team, have to win games like the upcoming Oklahoma game.

Not ready to say Oklahoma is a must win, but it may as well be. Drop this game and the margin of error gets razor thin, so it's as close to a must win as it gets.....

Can't see Oregon at 6. And someone ranked the Vols 15? I thought Spurrier retired.

 

[Hydro556]

I want us to be under respected as opposed to the alternative. All season long.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I want us to be under respected as opposed to the alternative. All season long.

Not me.

To me, that seems like a self-doubting approach. Relying on stealth to sneak up on our opponents. That kind of thing.

I always want us respected as one of the best teams in the land, if not the very best. Always. Off-season, pre-season, during the season, and post-season. Always.

And then prove it's justified, over and over again, week in and week out.

Because that where I want our team to live, and I want no one in the country to have any doubt that's where we are.

Go Vols!

What game isn’t a must win?

 

[volbound1700]

Oklahoma went up, Nice! I want our opponents to be ranked high.

 

[LittleVol]

It’s week 3.

And we have 3 Top 15 teams on our schedule-left to play .

Win ‘em all.

 

[WillisWG]

We're likely 7th in AP when released

 

[perico]

We jumped 2 spots since last week in this poll. Probably a correction since they had us with less movement last week

 

[FranklinVFL]

I am a Miami hater, but they appear to be very underrated in this poll. They look the part to match their preseason hype this year. AND are in a conference without much, if any, power in it.

 

[DaddyChad]

Here comesssse Notreeee Dammmmeeee!!!!

I’m shocked, flabbergasted, flummoxed, astonished, astounded, and surprised that they’re moving back up in the polls?!?? It’s almost like they’re going to jam their ass into the playoffs no matter what.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

For Tennessee, the poll is meaningless until we have played someone better than a good AAA high school, or pretentious ACC champion wannabe.

 

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

The Oklahoma game will be a strong indicator of how good we really are. They do not lose at home very often, regardless of the kind of season they're having.

 

[Nationdom]

Beat Alabama. Save the kitchen sink for Alabama. I could not stand to lose against them two years in a row. Must protect Neyland.

Need to beat Florida first to keep that ref bias BS out of the equation. Bama got some calls last year that I don’t feel like they would have if Tennessee was undefeated. Conference always tries to get as many teams in competing for the title as possible. Tn screwed themselves by losing to a crap Florida team.

I think Oklahoma would be fortunate to keep it within 3Tds

Saw some clown on Youtube either CBS or Fox and he didn't even have UT in his top 12 for the playoffs.

Well, you know, brake pumping.
