Recruiting Football Talk VIII

JP poll has down at 11. Those offensive performances dragging us down on these models.


For sure.

Analytically, we shouldn't be as high as we are in the AP/Coaches poll. Our close games signal future struggles, if not losses. Just getting past the lot of UF in OT, Bama, UK was quite nice. Luckily humans look at W-L much more than W-L margins, however incorrectly, it gives us time to correct ourselves. And with a young QB, we can genuinely hope it comes to fruition. Now the vet WRs need to get their shiz together. New week, new problems 😅

I wonder how the committee will craft the narrative. Will they say Vols are in but any additional loss will bump them out? I just wonder if they will plant those types of narrative seeds to excuse their later moves.
UGA will seal our fate. At minimum we need to fight them tooth and nail like Bama and UGA.
If we have our typical performance with a large loss and then go get into a slugfest with Vandy we likely will be on the outside looking in.

I have confidence, but all roads lead through Athens for the Vols.

From what I remember, they only interview on important weekly topics...teams getting left out...race for the top spot, etc.

We should be very under the radar for now. Don't see any talking about us either direction. Maybe next week ahead of UGA though.

This is the year to get them. They're as bad as they've been in at least 5 years, maybe more.

Everyone worried about rankings. There is a lot of football left to be played. My suggestion: Sit back and enjoy our team and season. Our defense keeps us in every game. Offense has been improving. Lots of variables ahead, but one thing is not variable - we have a dominate defensive line and that wins championships.
