Tennessee is gonna take down UGA. Just watch.

[Vol737]

Clemson dropped to #25 seems a bit dramatic, but hilarious.
Was assuming Colorado would be ranked even higher.

at least for me the Duke logo doesn't even show up, I wonder if its due to them never being ranked.

Duke jumped in at #21

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Great place to be, as we are in contention, but still feel like we have plenty to prove

 

[Vol737]

What, the Vols jumped LSU and Clemson? Why is that not a shock?

The shock was that they were ranked ahead of us to begin with. These voters/analysts know no more than the avg fan when it comes to preseason and not a single game has been played yet.

 

[TJSVOLS]

What’s our case for being ahead of them? Those teams have looked pretty dang good too. You could swap any of the teams ranked #5-#9 and I wouldn’t argue with it. There’s not enough data right now to argue our position any higher even if you think it should be.

Penn state hasn’t beaten a good team in years, Washington doesn’t play anyone, you’re right there is not enough data, but I believe Tennessee beats both, and since these polls are mostly based on last year why should they be ranked ahead of ut? And I will agree polls this early mean absolutely nothing.

After we run the table and beat Bama, we will be #2 hosting #1 UGA. Once we beat the Dawgs, we will be number 1.

You are a heavy drinker I assume ?

Speaking my language now, buddy!!!

I rarely drink.

I am as sober as you are angry.

So true

Tennessee, Washington, and Penn State all finished 11-2 last year. Tennessee and Penn State both won NY6 bowls. All three had terrific seasons and returned a lot of key pieces.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I think we jumped as high as we did because they finally remembered we beat those two embarrassments last season

 

[vegasvolfan]

No.

No sir.

Now what we do is, we keep climbing.

We ain't "holding on to" squat.

Go Vols!


p.s. Most likely upset of the coming week: #6 USCw could lose to Stanford in a "last time I see you in conference, so here, F U," send-off.

They will be back lol. USC’s away games may be closer than most of their in conference games lol

Naw, you guys got it all wrong> Not one time did I hear the talking heads mention whether Klubnik's parents flew or drove to the game nor did I see the 38 different camera shots of said parents in the stands.

Correct, they only had 30 camera shots.

What good teams did either beat?

Imma need a recount

Then why was Clemson ranked ahead of us if that’s the case? We more than took care of business against them, so we did what we were supposed to do.

This is the solid basis as to why there should not be a preseason, or even week 1, poll.

Take the final of the previous year and play the 1st week. After that adjust accordingly.

Those guys LOVE Klubnik. The way they talked about him during and after the Orange Bowl you'd have thought he beat us by 3 TDs. The same thing last night, Duke's offense all night was hitting on all cylinders and Clemson was sputtering all night and you'd have thought Klubnik was wearing the Blue Devils out.

He was. He kept hitting Duke players right in the hands so their hands have to be tired today.

 

[hUTch2002]

Auburn is gonna take down UGA. Just watch.

Georgia will not 3 peat. I don’t know who gets them (us) but someone will.

Well, obviously, they shouldn’t have been, and I have no idea why they were ranked higher.

I may have misread your post

I may have misread your post

Yea, I think we agree, have a good evening…

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Excellent place to be after one week.

 

[connor]

Glad we back in the top 10 after only 1 game. We deserve this

Stop making sense! There's no room for that in college football.
