4. Tennessee​

The Vols welcomed their new quarterback Joey Aguilar with the gift that kept on giving in their opener vs. Syracuse – a bruising running attack that piled up 246 yards on the ground and opened up opportunities through the air. Aguilar took advantage to the tune of 247 yards passing and three TDs. The result was an overwhelming overall offensive output in a 45-26 win over The Orange, who didn’t even wear the most orange in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, which supposedly was a neutral site.

At least the SEC network folks are starting to give some respect.
Not sure we are 3rd, but not sure we are 6th either...also still don't get the love for USCe.

Lots of love for LSU. I’m not sold on them or Clemson yet

I see you Alyssa Lang.

What's your problem???

 

[Casual Mustard Yeeter]

I really do like seeing Tennessee top 5 but what really sends this over the top for me is seeing Bama so low. It's been a long time coming and I plan on cherishing every moment of their downfall.

My hatred for Alabama is only eclipsed by my love for Tennessee (and not by much TBH).

Yeah, I do think people are over reacting to LSU BUT that was the best performance by an SEC squad in week one.

For sure. A lot of the reaction has to do with LSU falling on their face in the last 5 openers before this. Clemson hasn’t truly been a great team in 3-4 years now. Maybe this will hold up as a great win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Clemson ends up being unimpressive.

As long as UT stays above UF I am happy...


With only 1 week into the season, I am not sold on anyone. I believe LSU is strong but not #1 strong. Week 3 will tell us a lot.

 

[VOLdo Raine]

I see you Alyssa Lang.

What's your problem???

She’s a SCjr alum.

People overreact to LSU every year.

Welp......we see who the DEI hire is here.....clearly not knowledgeable.

I don’t see any SEC team going undefeated this season. Rather, I see 4-7 teams who could beat one another on any given day. As such, power rankings are kind of pointless when the league is more even than ever.

Think you're right and think it will start to resemble more of what SEC BB has looked like the past few years, where the ultimate top level of the conference just know how to survive week to week, even though a few setbacks.

 

[Voltopia]

Fattening Tennessee's ranking up for the Georgia game. Gotta build that buzz.

LSU is loaded with talent as their D is nasty. That was an impressive win @ Clemson.

 

[volanatic]

She’s a SCjr alum.

Probably why she said she thought Tennessee was the most likely SEC team to be upset Week 1.

Don't think that panned out for her.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Apparently nobody watched UscJR play this past week

I'm surprised chris has them that high.

Brian Kelly is going to Brian Kelly no less than three times season. Their schedule is pretty nasty.

That game was very much in question until the punt return late in the 4th. I put money on SCjr to cover and beat myself up the whole game for it, but it worked out.

 

[james_govols]

I'll be curious how we stack up against Georgia.

I think Texas and Florida are too low in these rankings.

 

[McDad]

I'm surprised chris has them that high.

Makes his Gators that much better when they beat us.

I'm with you. LSU has one major problem that will be hard to overcome .... Brian Kelly.

 

[Other_Guy]

Ah, screw him then. And screw you for ruining my day!

So, you are good if UF is 16th and UT is 15th in the league. Is that right? As long as UT is in the top 4 iin the like, I think all Vols fans will be happy. I say that is a definite playoff spot!
