Could we see some Top 25 votes... (merged Vols receive 14 points)

Let's not count on that happening, but in the extreme hypothetical we'd at least be a top 5 team. I mean you're talking about wins at Georgia, vs Alabama, Florida (not ready to say they're back but they've had our number for a while), South Carolina, Ole Miss and Mizzou. That's brutal! Of course we'd have to win the SECCG but goodness we'd have to be Top 5 and, by rule, a playoff contender! And I'm sure a few things could happen to put us at #1

Hypothetically, a win in the SECCG would include wins against all those as well as (more than likely) a dominant TAMU team. I could see that garnering a #1 ranking.

Won't happen, of course.

If we beat Ark St. Pretty handily?

Obviously we would have to deal with Oklahoma right afterwards even if we did. Just wondering what you guys think.

And now it starts.

I wouldn't doubt us getting in the top 25 after this weekend.

Whew some strong opinions around these parts

I'm not really complaining so much as wondering how we are got less votes than Iowa, who struggled with Northern Iowa and Marshall, who almost got upset by Miami Ohio who was winless last year?
