10/5 Coach Poll - Vols no.12

[livefaith]

This is fair for us.

Penn State has no business being ranked though, Nico and UCLA are the worst team in FBS.

Well, I'm not so sure they are ... They actually beat some FBS team yesterday.

Scary thought. Nico and UCLA have a higher quality win this season than the Vols!

We are at week 7 and Texas and PSU still haven’t beaten a power 4 school.

And still ranked. Absolutely a joke

And some, even on this board, would say that Tennessee isn't a great team (i.e. playoff worthy) either.

Yes and they are called Negavols lol

All we needed to do to move up was have a bye week. Nice.

Anybody who plays in the SEC can lose on any given Saturday. If we've learned one thing...that's the lesson. While the playoff etc discussion is interesting, the Vols games in the SEC every single week will be a dogfight. Florida looked really good yesterday. Arkansas coming to town will probably look like a different team (hopefully their defense will be the same), Alabama will be a slobber knocker, Vandy will be a bloodbath. OU will be a huge challenge ( I look for the starting QB to be back by then) etc etc. So...being ranked #12 means very little at this point IMO.

Re Texas Tech:
Look for them to suddenly excel in all sports. They have a young billionaire grad who has
pledged to “ pay their way to the top “. Last year he “ bought “ a great softball player from
a very successful program. He will be what Phil Knight ( NIKE ) is to Oregon.

They are already getting top commits. I fully expect them to be swimming in deep waters in all sports soon with all that money being invested!
