North Carolina being ranked is an embarrassment to this poll. They have 3 losses and all to unranked teams.

according to sagarin ratings, north carolina strength of schedule is 25, tennessee is 28.

Entirely possible that we win the East and remain unranked. The East is garbage and everyone knows it.

There are about 5 teams who have 3 losses still in the top 25. We should move up the polls the next two or three weeks then when we lose in the SECCG we will drop out of the polls for good. THat would make 4 losses for our team.

 

[Behr]

Well shart. With all the loses yesterday, I was hoping to break into the top 5. Maybe next week after we beat Mizz.

 

[Texas Vol]

"22 Texas A&M 7-3 396 11 "

Now that's a joke.

 

[FlyFishnVol]

UT will be back..........book it.

 

[TNnative]

It's a poll. Being included or excluded effects what? Don't care if it causes knuckleheads to be constipated, name something that matters.

 

[1725gatorhater]

No IS period

 

[Texas Vol]

It matters because, among other reasons, they play football games to win and be ranked with the goal being #1. I doubt there is one player on the team that doesn't know they aren't ranked.

 

[njvols]

Good chance we're 22-25 next week if handle Miz like we should. The odd thing about the rankings is that if we win out, and win a bowl game...and FL beats LSU, I'd think we'll be ranked 15-19 in final pole. If we win out and play Bama, and win bowl game, we'll be ranked lower. I'll take the SEC E championship, however.

 

[Boca Vol]

It matters because, among other reasons, they play football games to win and be ranked with the goal being #1. I doubt there is one player on the team that doesn't know they aren't ranked.

So you think they would go out and give a better effort next week if they were ranked 23rd? LOL

 

[orangeluvr]

Sometimes respect is taken not given.

 

[Orangedogsrule]

No IS period

Like, "You is teched"?

 

[BowlBrother85]

Based on the strength of the teams they have actually beaten and how bad they looked vs Houston and Ohio State as well as how porous their defense has been (just as bad as ours), I would have to say that Oklahoma at #8 is easily the most overrated team in the poll.

I have no problem with Tennessee being unranked. The SC loss was ridiculous.

 

[sona]

We started out ranked and didn't deserve it. All hype. I doubt we are a top 25 team in the country, but I guess that depends on which VOLS decide to show up on a given day.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

according to sagarin ratings, north carolina strength of schedule is 25, tennessee is 28.

Yeah we beat Georgia, they lost to UGA. We kicked your ass and you kicked theirs. It doesn't mean anything anymore, but we should be ranked ahead of UNC.

 

[Texas Vol]

So you think they would go out and give a better effort next week if they were ranked 23rd? LOL

Please explain what effort has to do with ranking? Nothing in my post inferred that. I would assume effort is typically a constant with a few individual exceptions.

I disagree based on last season's performance and what we had coming back. Last year 2 of our 4 losses were to playoff teams where we had a late 4th quarter lead. It definitely wasn't all hype. We would be ranked (and would deserve to be) if we had just taken care of business at SC.

Maybe I misunderstood your 1st sentence:

"It matters because, among other reasons, they play football games to win and be ranked with the goal being #1."

My bad.

For the sake of argument, let's imagine that we move up to # 22 in the polls. Then in the SECCG we beat Auburn/Alabama. That moves us up to maybe #17, Does this have us in the Play offs?
How do we get to the ultimate goal, to be #1 when we already have 3 losses?
