Tennessee With 3 Votes in Coach's Poll

[DoyleMcOrange]

Which puts us at tied for 34th. Poised to sneak into the top 25 with an impressive bowl win?

I think if we get a ranked team like Minnesota or Michigan and beat them then yes we may sneak in

We were last ranked in the top 25 in late September of 2017 it would be nice to slip back into the top 25 after a bowl win

Half of all bowl teams will be taking an L. Half will be winners and moving up. Why not us?

 

[alaVOL]

Hope we get a good opponent in a good bowl. Not looking for cream puffs, but I don't want to get a Baylor either.

 

[DowsaTV]

Yep, climbing up the ladder. Let's go!!!

Thanks to godawful competition in November is more like it. I believe Guarantano still has one more great chance to disappointTennessee fans before his illustrious career is over at Tennessee. God praise Eric Gray.

 

[volfanhill]

The last two years, no team with 8 wins, has been ranked.

What? Some excitement and maybe even some unrealistic optimism?...Oh how terrible.

One more chance? You mean this year? Obviously you don't think he's the greatest thing since sex, so why do you hate him so much?

Once there was a man who left a cigarette carelessly burning on an ottoman. It caught fire while he was passed out drunk. He managed to waken in the middle of his home burning and managed to get his family out of the house before the house burnt to the ground. He was hailed as a hero for saving his family. The newspapers never asked how the fire started.

Oh he's coming back baby. This nightmare ain't over yet.

True, but in 2016 2 teams finished ranked with only 8 wins and both were from the SEC.
LSU 8-4 (missed a game due to weather)
Auburn 8-5

Auburn also finished ranked in 2014 at 8-5.

Michigan finished ranked in 2012 in the AP at 8-5.

So where it's highly unlikely to happen there is a chance. Right?

Yes, he is the only one that played the last several weeks.

Sure there is

So simple I actually laughed out loud.

 

[Ty4Vols]

And simultaneously thanks to JG we aren't already ranked and guaranteed a New Years Day Bowl!

Too soon?

Just havin some fun Behr, Go Vols!

No, there is zero chance. Just like there was zero chance we lose to GaSt and finish 7-5 and go bowling with a shot at finishing 8-5. Lol, y'all delusional. I'll have what y'all are having. Crack is not good. I remember my first time sniffing glue.

This implies you sniffed glue in more than one occasion. Should have used gold flake spray paint. It's done wonders on the helmets at Notre Dame for years! They still think they're a good team. Now that's some powerful stuff.

Ah, there's my stalker troll.

Thanks to J'arette we lost to Ga State and BYU, blew any chance of taking Alabama, and currently are not ranked.

J'arette is a scrub.
