How Far Do We Drop

17-20.


Polls have been waiting for this loss. Tennessee will freefall.

I don't think Freak allows me to say "You're an idiot if that's what you really think", so I have no response to this post.

12th. TAMU isn't a great team.

Lol, i see what you did there

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Who cares it will change back for the better next week when we beat Bammer!!

 

[SolidRockGolf]

I think 11 or 12 is where we go.

 

[GetEmVols]

Probably fall behind Florida even though they didn't play and we beat them.

High teens.

With Houston losing, and us losing to a higher-ranked team in double OT, we honestly only need to slide one spot to 10 at most...but we all know that's not what will happen.

Top 10 teams don't turn the ball over 7 times, sorry. We should drop to 15-18 range

Should not be more than 2-3 spots in my opinion, I'm extremely impressed with Tennessee. You all should also feel good about the future, you've got some young guys getting some big time meaningful SEC experience. What UT is doing without JRM, Sutton, Hurd, Kirkland, etc is damn impressive.

We shouldnt drop more than that but watch what happens. Heck, we dropped almost 9 spots after a win over a decent opponent. Georgia squeaks by Nicholls and bumps up a few spots. Now that we actually lost?

Why? Serious question. What justifies that?

Wrong. Any team can do that. If you actually think there are 15-18 teams better than Tennessee then name them and provide evidence supporting your claim.

Nothing justifies a drop like that, but I think it will happen.

 

[TNJOKER]

We should be ahead of A&M. That's all I know. Lol

Agreed.. If not for the turnovers' we would have won big time.

 

[vollygirl]

Nothing justifies a drop like that, but I think it will happen.

And we took the "number 8" team to double overtime in spite of that. So again, my questions is what justifies a drop of 10 spots?

Yep. Bama turned it over 5 or 6 times in one of their losses to Ole Miss I think. Not saying we are that good, but that point is not true in that form

 

[inTNseVol]

If we dropped when we won. We will free fall with this loss. 15th-17th I would guess.

 

[JohnD13]

15 or so.

Take a look at the individual voters and how they have voted in the previous weeks. There's a core group that consistently rank us 5+ spots lower than everyone else. These same fools have recently voted 2 loss Ole Miss and OK ahead of us...


SO yeah, we'll drop 6-7 spots...

 

[PJ4VOLS]

Should go to 11 , we're the VOLS !!

 

[volfan102455]

Looking at how other teams that have lost to other top 10 teams - the drop should be no more than 4. The two more recent that lost close games the drop was 3 and 4. Stanford had a big drop but they got blown out by Washington.

You don't lose in double OT to the 8th ranked team at their place and drop into the lower teens.

Houston losing to Navy is going to factor into this as will however Miami - FSU ends up.

You're really a miserable dude, aren't you?

Because the polls will drop Tennessee?

Sure?

 

[ETV]

Depends on what the AP writers saw. If they changed channel at 3rd quarter, we'll drop 6 to 8 spots. If they watched the whole game, maybe the Vols stay around 12th or so.

 

[m9000]

Top 10 teams don't make 1/4 as many mistakes as UT made today.
