Don’t think we deserve that. It’s a gift. Now let’s earn that ticket into the playoffs

Looks like I was right. I figured we be at 8. Too many top teams took an L last night to drop too far.

 

[Behr]

I would have guessed 14-16.

Take it move on and beat the gaters.

Just a weird year, everyone is losing.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Fortunate. Now gotta get back to who we are. All the plays against UTC and all the other teams should be in use. Get some shorter route trees with plants come backs etc

No way we were falling that far with Bama,MI,MO,TN,USC all losing

If half the top ten hadn’t lost I would think we would’ve fell further. Bama loses to Vandy, Missouri gets handled by A&M, Michigan and USC go down. Losing to Arkansas isn’t nearly as bad as a loss to say NIU.

Weird how the voters don’t agree with Vol fans that we are trash now…

 

[IndianaVol]

Drop 4 spots is about right...pollsters are waiting to see how we respond.

Lose to Florida and we'll drop to sub 20. Win in a close one and we might still drop a spot or two.

 

[DowsaTV]

Down, but not out! Big week coming up.

We’re not “trash”. We have some things to figure out quickly or we’re going to lose next weekend to the lizards. Blueprint is there for everyone to see how to beat this team.

 

[HoptownVol]

We ain't that good.

Obviously I just considered the worst. Sometimes the polls punish us a little more than I expect so I expect it. Lol.

Arkansas is honestly two plays away from being undefeated. They're not as bad as they're record is....still no excuse for last night's performance. That offensive line needs to get it together

 

[BigALWiLson]

I think we had the belief in the room we were going to waltz in and they were gonna lay down. Rat poison for two weeks of how great we were. Hopefully this is a kick in the nuts to the MEN on the team. I expect pissed off,laying the wood confidence next week. This is what a good team does with the right leadership. Let's see how we respond

 

[McDad]

We ain't that good.

Can you make an appeal to the AP and get us reranked to a lower number?

 

[SamuraiVol74]

I figured 8-10.
With the other top teams losing as well, I didn't expect a drastic drop.
Missouri and Bama's loss was much worse in my opinion.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

I like us as the underdogs. Wish they would have dropped us more, make us play with more urgency.

 

[VolTom1]

They cant have us fall too far, they gotta promote the UT vs Bama Game here in two weeks.

 

[HoptownVol]

I'm not complaining, but #8 does not reflect reality.

 

[DaddyChad]

I mean if it makes you feel better it was an ugly ugly loss. We lost to their backup qb basically.

I agree, their losses are worse, but I'ts the way we lost that would bother me more... Well I guess not Missouri, if we lost like that I'd cry.

Too generous

 

[Behr]

We ain't that good.

I believe we're better than we were last night. I've got my opinions, but what's funny is when we have a losing record and someone says "we're better than 1-4". Somebody always say "you are what your record says".
