Believe it or not, we actually went DOWN in rank after beating a ranked team.

[Gandalf]

How can we have actually gone DOWN in rankings after that awesome win? From #61 to #67

Florida almost loses to Vandy and they are actually up 1? That's ridiculous!

130-team S&P+ rankings

As usual, the ratings HATE us.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Important stuff right here. I was hoping we would at least crack the top 60 lol

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Fake news

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Who cares. Would have to upset Bama and then win the next two to even consider being ranked. Anything beyond the top 25 doesn't matter.

 

[VoLBall86]

I don't care about the actual ranking but I would be lying if I said us losing 6 places after beating a ranked team isn't a bit of a head scratcher. Anyone care to explain how that works?

That's just one guy's opinion or simulation. And it doesn't matter. At all.

It’s just something that would happen to us. Normal

It’s just something that would happen to us. Normal

Does it really matter this year though

 

[VFL-82-JP]

It's probably mathematical, and has more to do with WVU and UGa's losses than anything we did ourselves.

Wouldn't worry about it at all.

 

[FlVols]

That has to be a joke poll. Can’t matter at all. Auburn is still in the top 25 in that? Ha

 

[vol-un-tear]

Does it really matter this year though

Not for next week that’s for sure

 

[Carl Pickens]

So the Vols beat Auburn on the road.... Auburn falls 5 places and the Vols fall 6.... conclusion..... this poll is full of ****

 

[DiderotsGhost]

At least we moved up a meager 6 spots in Sagarin.

We were #70 and now we're #64, which also moves us from next-to-last in the SEC to next-to-next-to-last (ahead of Arkansas and Vandy).

 

[NEVolFan]

Something stinks... we are 2 spots ahead of Nebraska (0-6).

 

[wmcovol]

Who cares.

 

[MAD]

Rankings hate us.

Saw that. And they rose two spots from the week before, while we dropped six.

Dumb.

At the time, sitting at the restaurant eating with my family, no unfortunately I didn't read it line for line and was hoping someone might actually contribute a useful response. Solid post though my dude.

I prefer the FEI ratings to S&P. I don't think any of the models (or even human polls) are strong until enough data gets in the system, 7 or 8 games.

FEI has not been updated this week; we were 108 last week.

Haha. Funny because I didn't understand it so I thought I would open the link and see if I could help you out. After about 10 seconds I was like "he didn't fawking read it"
Lol.

I don't care what we are ranked this year, just keep giving us games that are thrilling to watch like what we saw at Auburn. Did anyone else not know how to act? I was telling a co-worker I felt like I should turn it off because it felt too good to be true. That team changed at the Barn before our eyes.

Yaaa, I was just sorta scrolling through the forums and saw that and was instantly like wtf but the wife gives me enough hell already about being on my phone thus my short message asking for le insight. Now that I'm home and have had time I understand.

"...hates us" should get the bant hammer

 

[peerless98]

I would rather win and go down, giggity, than lose and go up!
