We can argue strongly that we deserve #1, based on strength of schedule.
We have a realistic shot at #3, behind UGa and Ohio St.
In the worst of worlds, we're still no lower than #5, giving Clemson and Michigan the benefit of inertia.
I'm good with any of those, honestly, because (a) we'll be Top 5 for the first time since 2005, and (b) we'll have the opportunity to push up to either #1 or #2 when we beat UGa in a few weeks, having already beaten Kentucky like the little brother that they are.
Go Vols!
