Since Phillip Fulmer took over as Head Coach for the Vols for a full season in 1993... the Vols have either been ranked in the top 10 (8 times) or not ranked at all (3 times) leading up to the Vanderbilt/Kentucky games.... with the exception of this season.
With a similar record to other seasons with a top 10 ranking.... and a huge win on the road over Georgia.... the Vols are ranked 15th.... now its clear why the Vols feel as though they are getting no respect in the polls.
