Vols drop to #6 in week 15

[BigOrangeMojo]

It looks pretty likely unless we move up, 4 teams in front of us will take up Raleigh and Lexington spots, Cleveland is then the next closest.

What are the odds the (7) or (10) in Cleveland would be Ohio State....

It’s not out of the realm of possibility, but I don’t think it would matter. We match up well and if wr can’t beat them at a neutral site we don’t deserve to advance anyway.

True. Just never a big fan of putting higher ranked teams at a geographical disadvantage.....

And it wouldn't be a "neutral site" if we run into OSU, WVU, or Michigan St there (a 3 v 6)...

No matter where we play, outside of Lexington, we aren't going to have an exact 50/50 split with fans, especially as the higher-seeded team. Most "neutral" fans will pull for the underdog.

I'm hoping and thinking this team doesn't care where they play. I'm almost certain they aren't worried where their fans want them to play. We have fared we'll on neutral courts.

They might not care where they play, but outside TBA, it's a crap shoot as to how this team will perform.

Neutral sites. They aren't playing anyone at their home gym

SEC basketball is crazy this year and completely replaced the ACC.

Tourney is gonna be like 9 sec teams.

Good thing we are 3-0 at neutral sites.

Dumb logic

No, it actually made perfect sense. LOSE, and you drop in the rankings. Especially at home to a team ranked 10 spots lower than you. Look like crap in the first half vs team you are favored over by 12, and barely eek out a W? What would you think the pollsters should do? "Dumb logic". No, a Dumb comment on your part; With no reasoning to back it up, just making an insult for the sake of insulting.
