Apparently the coaches didn't watch UK, USC, Clemson...

OU loses in OT and drops 10 spots. Clemson survives (should have lost) and holds serve

And UK hardly scraping past an awful 1-2 G5 squad

The anchoring bias is VERY strong with pollsters.

Silliness...

The solution is that we go out every damn Saturday and PROVE them wrong…they will eventually have no choice but to submit.

I really got a good feeling about the LSU game. We are gonna have 2 weeks to get healthy and scout LSU. They have to play at Auburn the weekend before us. Bye week actually falls in a pretty good spot.

415 pass attempts - 3 interceptions total @ UT. . . zero ints this year.

1 pick every...118 throws?!?

That is a stat that can only be found on NCAA 14 set to the lowest level.

Manning and JG were great in that regard and they were "only" 42:1 and 47:1 respectively.

Also has the highest completion% in history, by about 6.5 percentage points (Peyton next).

Not when you consider how banged up we will be by the end of the season.

 

[Odiodin]

Still think we should be ranked higher than kentucky, but all that stuff will work itself out.

I've already taken Ole Miss -3.5 for next week. Easiest play on the board and the line has already moved to -4.5.

Don't think they stay there long.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Do they put us top 5 for the Bama matchup? I think they might

If we beat lsu, and we will, we will be five they will be two.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

8-5 is a collapse now?

It sure as hell was then. That was a huge collapse after the run we had been on.

 

[2xVol]

hot take. Defense is better than what volnation thinks it is

Our defense is 24th in the country in EPA (expected points added) which shows that we are really solid at limiting opposing offenses when it matters. Unfortunately our pass EPA is very poor. LSU is actually a little scary for that reason alone, but i’m not sure that their OL will hold up.

 

[rgvol]

Shout out to Darnell Wright he is quietly have a all SEC season. GO VOLS!!!!

 

[vols2345]

#8 Vols got me on high levels of toxicity no one is ready for. Way to go Boys! Well deserved

That would be funny to see. #4 UT vs #11 Bama.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Vols at 8 in AP. View attachment 494334

That’s hilarious for Kentucky to stay in front of us! I remember in 2016 being ranked high and dropping numerous spots for winning but looking lackluster. Kentucky wins and looks lackluster, and they continue to move up. Makes zero sense to me. Whatever! We will continue to do our talking on the field!

 

[Revived2002]

That LSU game will be a down to the wire rock fight

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I think the bell tolls for Kentucky next weekend.

I hope Ole Miss smashes them by 20+ points and exposes them for the fraud they are.

 

[Devo182]

I'll take #8. Best ranking since Fulmer. But ya can't tell me we should be behind UK after their abysmal performance yesterday. 8 votes behind them smh.

And I see at least one team ahead of us losing this week. UK (Ole Miss) and OU (3-0 TCU) and Clemson (#12 NC State) most likely.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Lol who’s got us unranked in their poll? Narduzzi?

Probably. Look which other team's low was NR.

 

[Aesius]

We scored to end the first half and again to start the second half. When is the last time we did that in a meaningful game? It’s such a massive momentum/point swing and is a huge reason we won.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

That LSU game will be a down to the wire rock fight

Personally, I think we smoke LSU.

Who does this? I've never seen it before. I like it.

same. Hooker for Heisman

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Personally, I think we smoke LSU.

Wouldn't mind if it resembled the Missouri drubbing last year in Columbia.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Decent chance the Vols move up a couple spots after the bye week. Michigan @ Iowa, UK @ Ole Miss, Bama @ Ark, NCSU @ Clemson.
