How the heck does Texas jump Florida?

We beat Texas in a blowout, and Florida takes us to the wire, has only one loss and Texas jumps them. That just doesn't seem right.

I think it is a combination of Florida's loss to you being more recent plus perception is that Texas was out of sync for about three weeks there and you sort of caught them before they got their act together and now they are living up more to preseason expectations.

Texas is playing as well as anyone right now.

 

[jakez4ut]

and didn't TX beat Memphis?

 

[volinbham]

Glad to see UAB getting some love. The beat the stew out of Okla State. I went to the Houston game Saturday night. If you like Pearl you'd like Mike Anderson - he gets more out of less than anyone; maybe even BP.

Anderson is a very good coach. It's interesting, of the three actual candidates for the job last spring, Lutz is the only one not having an exceptional year and Charlotte certainly isn't terrible. Hamilton should be commended for doing a great job in making his first major hire.

:clapping: :dance2: Man, I'm glad to finally see the men's team get some respect! :thumbsup: Two wins over top 10 teams and we played Memphis close. Just hope the winning can continue. With a few more wins the Vols could probably be a 5th seed in the mid-Atlantic. Sure would like to see the Vols play in DC! :dance2: I'd sure try to get tickets.

hmm..... I am not going to get ahead of myself, there is tons of basketball to be played... yes the vols are in the top 20 and I am hella happy about that... but anything can happen in the next couple months.. Lets just hope we can stay in the top 25 for longer than a week this time..

 

[ukvols]

Pearl's old team, UW-Milwaukee, is off to a great start and has a high RPI.

:rock: OWB, keeping glasses full since October of '04!

 

[USAF_Vol]

Texas has a first place vote. :crazy:

 

[tidwell]

How in the world is Louisville still ranked?

 

[CrystalEHS07]

It's nice to see the guys getting some respect. This will be great for recruiting.

I mean, other than the fact that we have someone who actually recruits now.
