I HATE The Ohio State University, the love for them in these polls is so blatant. They have played exactly 1 ranked team (Notre Dame 5 at the time) and the rest have been easier than cupcakes. They will face 3 ranked opponents all season and then will be significantly less beat up/ worn down than other top ranked teams when the playoffs begin.

And will still lose to a quality SEC team.

Based completely off merit we have the #1 resume right now. No one else has 3 top 25 wins.

I get that, but none of those three teams are currently ranked. I saw from another poster that Clemson has two Top 25 wins against teams still in the Top 25. If we keep winning, the polls will take of themselves.

If anyone would have told me the Vols would be #6 marching into the Alabama game I wouldn’t have believed it.

Where we’ve come since the beginning of 2021 is one of the most amazing turnarounds in college athletics. From a decade+ long coaching carousel, the dumpster fire Cornbread left, potential sanctions, a mass exodus of talent…to a 5-0 record, #6 ranking, and a legit Heisman candidate. Feels unreal.

Let’s see if these guys can get us over the Bama hump. GBO.

Not sure why Clemson is moving up. They should definitely move down.

You know they have beaten 2 teams currently in the top 15? Right

If any teams should be moving up it should definitely be Tennessee and Clemson (as much I despise them, it’s still true).

How does Bama drop when they won with a backup QB and how the hell does Ohio St jump to #2 when they’ve played a bunch of nobodies? We beat 3 ranked teams. Their only ranked win is against a down ND team

How is Kentucky still ranked after losing to South Carolina is confusing as well.

Sounds about right. I wonder do we jump to number 2 or even 1 if we beat Bama this weekend.

Well next week is the first CFP rankings. So if we beat Bama, I don't see any way we wouldn't be #1 given we've beat 3 other top 25 teams already, with 2 of those wins on the road.

If that happens Hypes price just went way up and the bidders will be out with open check books.

AD White needs to be ready to open the books should that happen.

When Tennessee beats Alabama and Georgia beats Alabama in the SEC Championship Game Alabama will be in New Orleans or Miami for the Holidays.

Must suck to be a Gump fan, no? Have to settle for the Sugar or Orange bowls... IF they lose.

But where would we be in that scenario?

Are we finally being treated fairly?


Yes ! We have to be. — Some may “hate” having to admit it, but there is NO DOUBT that Tennessee is GOOD this year!

The only way for UT to get recognition from the National media is to TAKE IT!!!!!!

Just take care of business and “Disappoint ALL of the sceptics”!

I'm sure Heup will get a raise/extension if he beats Bama en route to 10/11 win season. But I highly doubt we're gonna have to worry about him leaving. Unless maybe he has his sights set on the NFL.
