No other team in the nation has won back to back games against ranked opponents this year. Tennessee is also the only team to have 3 victories against teams that were ranked at the time the game was played or became ranked afterwards.

Tennessee has the nations second longest winning streak. Tennessee has beaten 3 ranked teams during the streak and 1 more that became ranked after UT beat them during the same season (V Tech, 25 current AP poll)

5-0 and still going!

Go Vols!

Tennessee is also batting 1.000 when down by 2 or more touchdowns. The rest of the nation is somewhere around .20 (20%) when in similar situations.

Also A&M has never won at college station when game day has been there. Their fans view it as a curse.

Tennessee is also 12-1 in their last 13 games with their only loss being 19-14 @ Bama.

As far as the polls go, Tennessee deserved to be dropped big after the App St. game. However back to back wins against top 25 teams should move them up even more but it didn't. The reason is a log jam at the top of the polls with undefeated teams and a hot start from Louisville.

Tennessee benefits in schedule though and can play their way into the top 4. Most teams require others to lose to move up or like a Houston they only have 1 game remaining that can even help.

Tennessee truly controls their own destiny.

When we beat Bama And A&M we will be the number one team in the nation and for good reason
