Vols ranked no. 15 in latest AP Poll

[Dallasbowlin]

Think we probably drop 1-2 spots, if we had lost in better fashion we maybe stay the same, but I think the optics with those who vote was probably pretty bad.

Just one or two? I’d say 18-20

Nah, most of the teams right behind us lost at least 1 game.

This. Top-25 didn't fare well this week.

To be honest we couldn’t be ranked for all I care. The committee ranking is all that matters

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Hadn’t really kept up with the top 25, after looking I can see why you’d say that. Didn’t do too good at all.

Top 25 teams get mentioned on national TV and radio sports shows. Usually that's good. Saturday night was bad.

Yes, but relatively meaningless. We're ranked 13th and had our name called in the selection show, but they didn't say a single word about us. AP/Coaches rankings are largely meaningless. And if anything is a distraction

The regular season national mentions are good. I rather the players get a little used to the attention before tournament time. Less likely to play tight if they've already been on Sports Center.

This.

I thought Kansas might drop further and be below UT in the poll.

So this media member voted the Vols as 14 in his vote for the Ap poll. That is after the Bama loss. I find that interesting. I know it is just one media member but he must like the Vols

 

[BurninOrange]

Latest ranking in Ap is 18th

 

[Dallasbowlin]

About what I expected. Figured it could’ve went worse though.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

No way should Tennessee be below Arizona, I also thought SMC would drop more than they did.

Beat the dawgs along with the SC win and they will be top 15 again?

We’d jump Rhode Island for sure

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Close to jumping Purdue too.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

We’d jump Rhode Island for sure

Also St.Mary’s...Clemson is possible as they lost earlier in the week, North Carolina if they lose today to Louisville, Kansas if they were to lose to Baylor and Ohio State if they lose to Michigan.

So if we win today anywhere from 12-16 seems plausible.
