James Madison, Toledo and SMU - AP Poll

[DocVol]

#25, #24 and #23

Meanwhile Tennessee wins and falls out of the AP completely

Tell me again how there’s no bias.

 

[Volbrando]

Wow

 

[volfanbill]

two of those teams went undefeated in their conference and only have 3 losses collectively. the other only has one loss and it was on a last second play. So ummm,, combined, they have the same amount of losses that we do.

 

[DocVol]

“So…umm….” line up JMU or Toledo against TN on a neutral field and then get back to me.

That’s how rankings work. Not based on cOnFeReNcE rEcOrDs

Be better at life.

 

[loservol]

Just back to the SEC cellar with the Heupel regime. Ending the season unranked is going to hurt recruiting.

 

[Boston Vol]

Tennessee was fortunate to be ranked after the UGA thumping. AP and coaches polls are meaningless nowadays.

 

[Orange&White]

We will still be ranked in the CFP on Tuesday. That’s what everyone goes off of now anyways.

Season over? No Bowl game. 8-4 wasn't the plan but it isn't the cellar.

it's really not how rankings work in the last 25 years.. But I'll certainly work more at being "better at life". That's such a strong defense. I hope your mom is proud of you.

That’s not how rankings work either. Some voters do vote on who they think the better team is, but a lot vote on who has had the better season.

 

[DocVol]

Umm, it most certainly is

It’s also why the Playoff Ranking System now exists.

 

[EconVol92]

I thought 10-2 would be the ceiling on this team and 8-4 would be the basement.

Florida state will be ranked in the top four when the rankings are released on Tuesday. Do you honestly believe that the committee thinks that they are truly one of the top four teams without Jordan Travis? Or are they’re ranking them there because of the season that they have had thus far.

I bet recruits were lined up watching ESPN waiting for the release of a meaningless poll.

To unranked App. State, unranked Illinois, #12 Oklahoma, and unranked TCU. Not a single win against a ranked team among them.

We don't have a ranked win either, but it's likely we would have beaten all of the teams they lost to except Oklahoma, and it's extremely unlikely they would have beaten any of the teams we lost to, except perhaps Florida.

[Boston Vol]

Why would FSU jump Washington after beating a horrible Florida team?

They won’t jump Washington. They’ll jump Ohio State who was ranked 2nd and lost yesterday.

 

[UTK]

So our streak of being ranked in the AP ends after a W huh. lol. I’m okay with not being ranked, we have 4 losses. But we will be ranked in the playoff poll which makes the AP irrelevant when it comes out

 

[Run-da-ball-vol]

I mean I don’t really understand how we’re acting surprised here.

I was a bit surprised we were still ranked this past week. With that being said I'm not sure why they drop us out of the top 25 after the Vandy win.

 

[ENGRVOL]

This is what happens when you fail to cover against vandy

 

[VolMarine1371]

Just back to the SEC cellar with the Heupel regime. Ending the season unranked is going to hurt recruiting.

The CFP and coaches will have us ranked, and win after bowl game then UT will be ranked in all the final polls.

 

[VolMarine1371]

This is what happens when you fail to cover against vandy

Missed covering by 3 points. If we played the starters the entire game they more than cover. After Nico went in the game calling got ultra conservative.

I was surprised we were still ranked after Georgia.
