Vols move up to #8

Is Bama still ahead of us

 

[BigALWiLson]

Indeed. Just win. Period. Nothing else matters.

 

[TrueOrange]

Is Bama still ahead of us

They’re 15th.

Right ahead of KSU, Missouri, and Ole Miss. Right behind BYU, Indiana, and Texas A&M.

 

[TrueOrange]

Also: both ranked Army AND ranked Navy.

Plus: ranked Vanderbilt.

 

[Volswin98]

Also: both ranked Army AND ranked Navy.

Plus: ranked Vanderbilt.

My boys and I were talking about those 3 more than TN and Ala.

 

[Godfatha]

Some of these Big10 teams will have to play each other at some point.

 

[bpalmer28]

Why isn’t Vandy ahead of Bama?

 

[TrueOrange]

Some of these Big10 teams will have to play each other at some point.

Yes, but not as many as one would expect. The only remaining matchups between Big 10 teams in the top 25 are:

Ohio State: @Penn State, vs Indiana

Oregon: vs Illinois

Penn State: vs Ohio State

Illinois: at Oregon

Indiana: @Ohio State

 

[91Vol]

Why isn’t Vandy ahead of Bama?

Vandy ranked!

 

[Shocker0]

Ohio State: @Penn State, vs Indiana

Oregon: vs Illinois

Penn State: vs Ohio State

Indiana: @Ohio State

Penn St has the easiest imaginable schedule every year smh. Besides Ohio St maybe.

 

[hillsborovol]

Why isn’t Vandy ahead of Bama?

Because they lost to Georgia State (2 wins 4 losses).

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Why isn’t Vandy ahead of Bama?

This is pleasing, even if the national polls won't do it:

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

What I expected. We'll be top 5 headed to Athens....

 

[RDU VOL#14]

LSU at aTm Saturday night . Big game

 

[onthehill71]

Some of these Big10 teams will have to play each other at some point.

That was Oregon vs Buckeyes...Oregon won.

 

[CPVOL]

Why isn’t Vandy ahead of Bama?

Because the ass wipes who vote think this is Nick Saban’s Alabama and he’s gonna magically jump from the College Gameday set while Ms Terry films and he’ll restore order to college football.

 

[deatojl]

Good to see we moved up as much for beating Bama as we dropped for also beating Florida…

 

[VolBricks]

Nice, so we get another 2 top 25 wins when we beat GA and Vamdy

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Of those ahead of us. I think we could take Miami and Penn State for sure, maybe LSU. The rest would be tough, but not impossible.

LSU at aTm Saturday night . Big game

LSU will lose.
Kelly isn’t a big game guy.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

LSU will lose.
Kelly isn’t a big game guy.

With USC in a free fall that 2nd loss would make their resume less appealing in December.
