#8 in AP Poll

I was thinking 9-10, but no lower than that. 8 is about right.

Thing that pisses me off is how overrated the Big 10 is aside from Ohio State (who has played nobody), maybe Oregon, and especially Penn State, whose pathetic schedule insures they will be 11-1 at worst. If any of them played an SEC schedule they would have minimum 3 losses.

7 years ago we would have been stoked about this.

I SAID ITS GREAT TO BE A TENNESSEE VOL. 🗣️

And 7 years ago, we would have immediately dropped to the lower part of the top 25.

The potential is there - hopeful that playing the next game in front of a supportive crow will get the team rolling in the right direction again.

Agree - and Miami is in the same place - going to cake walk through a very easy schedule.

The big winner yesterday was Texas. The way you get respect in the SEC is don't lose games you shouldn't lose and win some that you should lose.

A strong TX throwing their weight and money around does not bode well for the old heads in the SEC.

I just want to point out that there are 3 teams tied for #18.

As well as two teams tied for #11

#8? I for the life of me do not understand why.

Grasping at rankings after what we saw last night is like holding onto a pocket full of fools gold. This team hasn’t earned anything yet.

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

This loss doesn't hurt near as much since this week and others teams have lost and looked terrible. It's still anyone's game. Not much separation from anyone.

He’s making enough to perform better than last night. Why don’t you tell us what the number is there big Al dumb ass. I sure hope it’s worth it. Hes making enough for our AD to raise a 10% talent fee. Money well spent so far? I think not.

The Whorns haven't played anyone at this point. And, no, the Ann Arbor dumpster fire doesn't count.

You might’ve been living under a rock but we now pay collegiate athletes big money. Honestly, I’m one of the ones that are okay with that. But there damn sure are gonna be some expectations attached to those millions whether you wanna cry about it or not.

The AD had nothing to with NICO. That is a Spyre deal and it is based on appearances and signings as well as merchandise. Again you don't know sh1t. It was reported 8 million total value. Hmm yall act like he is the only paid player to ever have an under par performance. He isn't just spewing your garbage ass Venom

They've got OU on a neutral field this Sat and we struggled with them. Do you seriously think they're going to struggle?

The big test is GA, as it is for everyone in the SEC now, and I'd not bet against TX in that game.

I see. Just another fan accepting mediocrity from a university that shouldn’t. These players now make big bucks is the bottom line. I apologize if I overshot the number and Nico is really only getting a measley 2 mil this year. That more feasible? We live in this world now and it’s okay to expect results with the money attached. Very grown up of you to fall back to personal insults when seeing something you don’t like. I know which box you’ll check come November. Carry on.

I would have guessed 14-16.

Take it move on and beat the gaters.

Same here. Really don't think this team is top 10 right now. Too many holes on the roster and with injuries mounting and Nico a bit shaken if not stirred, I'd be happy with top 15 status.
