Hope I’m wrong but I get the feeling this ranking is based on the name on the front of the jersey. I’m not sold at all on this being a top 15 team.

I may have put them in the 17-20 range just to start off but that whole name on the front of the jersey thing wore off after we barely made two tourneys.

This has more to do with us finishing 13th last season. That's my take

I think we were picked second on potential as most are expecting breakout seasons from Key and Horston. Everyone think Dye is going to do great things and Burrell looks to be locked in as a senior. I can see why most think our bench is far better than last season. If you look at just potential talent and depth the Lady Vols looks really good this season.

Yes, Holly took care of the name on the jersey ranking thing. I do feel we are a top 20 team with a lot of possibilities and potential. We just have to see how it plays out on the floor.

The name on the front of the jersey meant something when Kellie wore it, not now. But I do agree Tennessee is ranked too high...

I think we're ranked too low.....
I'd put us about 9.
That's my opinion. I don't care if you agree, or not.

"Who are those gals" Best lookin team in women's college basketball.

I’m bumping the Lady Vols up to 12 to start the season. We’re going to beat some ranked teams early in our schedule and move up some more. I’m putting Arizona at #1 and SC at #2. KY down to #15

perfectly said and what I often tell my teams...Until game one, no one has a loss or a win....and after the first game, half of them are still no-loss teams.

As the season goes, consistency and durability begin to factor more...and how you finish the season and its tourneys, determines if you made progress.

I think #15 is about right for us and a great jumping off point. We steadily climbed all last season and I was very proud of that fact. Much more appealing than starting and promptly working the other direction as we were under the previous coach.

Our schedule this season is formidable. Those naysayers can have some humble pie because coach stepped that up a notch. Depending on how the season goes it’s not far fetched that a dozen or more of our games could be against ranked opponents.

A schedule like that is designed for March. We’re going to see some losses to really good teams earlier in the season I’m certain. My only hope is that they motivate this group for March. Sky is the limit for this team, the potential is there for them to be great. Can’t wait! Two weeks y’all!

They were number 13 at the end of last year, gained a great player in Alexis Dye, and brought in the number 9 recruiting class in the country. Jordon Horston and Tamari Key have another year under their belt and Rae Burrell has proven herself over and over again. They have a ton of depth. I don't think the name on the front of Jersey doesn't has anything to do with it considering we weren't even ranked to start last season with a potential SEC Player of the Year candidate in the starting lineup (Rennia Davis). If they stay healthy, this should be a top ten ranked team by the end of the season.
