Hmm, would have liked to see a bigger jump but that is still good.

 

[omghulkhands]

about what I expected out of the coaches poll. Probably will be ranked 6 in the AP

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

I would have liked to seen a little more jump, but at least we do go in front of Pitt instead of behing them.

seeing kansas st ahead of us makes me angry...they are so overrated

7th in AP. 4 points behind Kansas St

I can't wait till we face UCONN. Another Big East Team taken down by the Vols and another Top #5 win under our belts.

Agreed, they have not lived up to the hype this year. They are likely to get sweeped by Kansas again.

 

[golfballs]

we should be ranked over UConn

Surprising for the coaches poll.

So confusing 2 me we beat Ohio State last year as late in the season as possible for them. They loose there best player. We have almost identical records this year but we have played a much more difficult schedule. My opinion along with most others do away with pre season rankings. Great job C.B.P. hope your with us for many more.

They should lose a game pretty soon and launch us ahead of them. One bad night from Walker and UCONN will be in serious trouble, the offense flows through him.

It is nice to see SDS crack the top 10, a team we beat in march last year.

Mr. Walker meet Mr. Goins.

 

[omghulkhands]

Mr. Walker meet Mr. Goins.

Basically this, Walker is just 6-1, 172 lb., so having Melvin or Scotty on him should pose problems in theory. However Liggins did have serious trouble keeping up with him and he is a pretty solid defender when he wants to be. If Melvin is able to hold Walker to 15 pts or less, he will probably be recognized as the best defender in America regardless of posistion. Melvin, if you are reading this, consider it a challenge!

The player I am worried about at UCONN is Alex Oriakhi, the guy has averaged a double-double with some pretty tough competition

Mr. Walker meet Mr. Goins.

My thoughts exactly, Goins will shut him down

 

[vol4eva]

We're also 7th in the AP

 

[ThatVolGuy]

Something to consider: in calendar year 2010, the Vols have beaten 5 of the top 11 teams in both the AP and ESPN polls.

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

.
It should be a really fun matchup to wathc

massey rankings is a the best way to judge it in my opinion because of all the different polls it takes into consideration
