Since I'm already on the subject of *****ing about polls…

One of the AP voters (Whitelaw Reid) has Villanova at #8, but he did not put Tennessee in his top 25. I mean, honestly? Maybe I really don't understand, but that's more than a little crazy.

I guess this sums it up...

Polls mean diddly dick in basketball. Who cares?

From a look through the comments, it seems as though people are getting a little wary of the Vols- afraid to give just due.

Polls in every sport should only come out at the midpoint of the season. Pre-season polls up to midseason are complete garbage.

Yes.

Polls this early are intended to do one thing. This three page (and counting) thread is helping them achieve that goal.

It doesn't matter if we are behind a team we just beat. End of the season rankings and seeding in the tournament is all that matters.

At least we got some props from the AP. ESPN has us at #17 (as I thought they would) and kept both FL (who barely beat a mediocre FSU) and Ken-sucky (who got destroyed by UConn) ahead of us. I'm not one to jump on the 'ESPN hates UT' bandwagon, but here's more fuel for that fire...

Those are the coaches, not the ESPN reporters/broadcasters/bigwigs!

That being said, they really do hate Pearl!

That is a pretty good point there. Pearl is not well liked in the coaching world.

exactly what i was thinking. i dont even worry about rankings until around the mid to end of the season.
