10/12/25 AP Poll - Vols #11

[Woodlawn VOL]

Letting the Georgia game slip away will
haunt us all year

BS

 

[Sudden Impact]

Winning these close ones builds character and team.

So, Notre Dame has 2 losses and moved up 3 spots, Texas, that had dropped out of the top 25, beats Oklahoma and moves back into the top 25 at 21. Wonder why people don't have any faith in the polls. Oh yeah, Tennessee made a huge jump from 12 to 11.

BS

If we had won that Georgia game we would be the most overrated team in the country. We look like a 10 to 15 team. Being undefeated would not make us any better.

Why? They have not beaten a ranked team. Yes I know that Clemson was ranked when they played them -- but that win looks different now.

Because they're 6-0 and polls eventually move unbeaten p4 teams past teams with losses.

Georgia Tech may or may not be the real deal but they are where they are at because they beat Clemson when Clemson was still ranked at 12. Good chance they are 6-1 next week as they play at Duke. Duke is actually a slight favorite.

This poll means nothing for the playoff. But rage on, old man

What’s with the “old man” stuff? Respect your elders . Your momma taught you better.

Mostly moved up because of how far Oklahoma fell after the loss to Texas.

Exactly

This is a tough room this year. A ;lot of quality teams.

I don't get why people don't see this. NIL has leveled the field- dudes aren't being hoarded by the Bamas and Ohio States of the world anymore, which is precisely what I predicted while a lot of others were saying the rich would get richer. Logic says why sit on the bench when you could be a star somewhere else and make pretty much the same amount, or even a little less but have the chance to establish your future prospects?

I'll take winning by 3 every week as long as we keep winning.
