Arky is ranked ahead of us....

That's because the media loves Bret Bielema. Arkansas will finish last in the SEC West

Since when does somebody ranking us #32 mean they think highly of us? :sad::sad::question::question:

The rating was better than I expected. They did say UT was going to get better very soon.

The 2014 Team Is Trending … Vanderbilt. The program hit its ceiling under Franklin, and while it’s possible to come up with winning seasons and bowl games, Derek Mason won’t take the Commodores to another level.

Bet little imyaxle dropped a lugnut over this bombshell.

I loved the first part...buTch Jones is building a powerhouse!

Results will become better and more consistant in 2015 with all the really young players getting stronger and more acclimated to what buTch is demanding!

That's just truth in him saying those things.

I'm actually surprised that anyone ranks us that high when we're so young and lack serious depth.

#BrickbyBrick...VFL...GBO!!!

Arky is ranked ahead of us....

What the mother?

College football is all about getting the right coach/staff/leadership. How can anyone project Arkansas to be better going forward after that debacle last year?

Bielema was an absolute train wreck on the field his first year and has been 10 times worse off it from his "I'm a better coach than Saban" schtick on the booster circuit early on to his "Ive got death certificates" reasoning why there should be a 10 second slown down the offense rule. He's a complete buffoon.

Then compare UT's and Arky's recruiting classes.... UT #5, Arky #29 with only 20 total recruits, and all of 3 4 stars. Talk about a bias....jeez!

Trending the right direction finally...looking for more upsets...maybe even a big'un!..GBO!

 

[Volador]

On paper we are looking a lot better, but we have to prove it on turf. Otherwise, we need to line the field with paper.

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

I love the part where it says we lose four of our starters up front on offense.


Lends credibility to the writer.

 

[orangeluvr]

32 is a helluva lot better than 102. :clapping:

 

[Aesius]

I think UT should be a top 40 team this year. Top 25 in 2015. And top 10 in 2016.

I think UT should be a top 40 team this year. Top 25 in 2015. And top 10 in 2016.

Ditto

 

[lionfoorest]

The way I look at it is we are only 7 spots from the top 25! A few W's on our end and a few L's and we are in the top 25!

Since we've had 3 straight losing seasons, that when!!!!

 

[AboveAllNations]

Where is Florida? If they're in the pre-season top 20, this is a joke.

Didn't notice them mention any other coaches or teams "building a powerhouse". Ranking a 5-7 team at 32 that has big question marks on both sides of the ball... well, that is a pretty bold comment to make. A 32 rank isn't where UT should ever be, but it is our reality, a reality that Butch and co are trying to turn around.

He is correct actually. We did indeed lose four.

 

[SGMVols]

No team riding a losing streak to Vanderbilt belongs anywhere near the polls in preseason.

The win over USCe last year ruined their national title hopes. It's going to be hard to get an even bigger win than that outside of winning the SEC or beating Bama.

All the recruiting stars aside...

If UT wants to get back to T25, they gonna have to average more than 1 road win per year.

They have 5 road victories in the past 6 seasons. The teams they beat on the road averaged 3.6 wins per season.

Collegefootballnews is hit or miss IMO.

And by 'hit or miss', I mean 'mostly misses and the rare decent tidbit'

 

[thebjd]

32 ranking in a poll no one cares about. This feels like The Wall of Gaylord. "I didn't know they made 9th Place ribbons"
