We have to be #1 now.
You should be #1 after this weekend. I can’t imagine that you won’t be. If for some reason they don’t rank the Vols at #1, then it just shows that polls suck, which has been my opinion for a very long time now anyway. However, the Vols are defending national champs, currently 20-0, and just swept the Gators. So regardless of what the polls say, you shouldn’t worry about it! Im fairly confident y'all are in damn good shape at the moment!

Classy post @TigerMan .
 
I wanna ask this question. I know everyone is pumped being 20-0. There’s a good chance D1 will also rank us #1 on Monday, I bring that up because they aren’t the only poll.

If the argument is: It’s harder to fall than it is to rise in the polls, I agree. If the argument is we deserve to be number 1 after this weekend, I agree.

Where we are ranked after week one of SEC play in mid March, matters how?

Doesn’t really matter, except for the feels.
 
It’s just an honest take. And I’ll add to it a little bit as well. I believe LSU is good, but nowhere near #1 good. If I had to guess right now, I’d say we likely only win somewhere between 16-18 SEC games. I’d be absolutely surprised if we picked up 20 or more, but I don’t see that happening. We’re definitely going to take some losses this season, but I hope we aren’t fighting like hell to make the tourney like last year.

I think the Vols are at minimum going to pick up 22-24 SEC wins, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s closer to 26 or 27. When you’ve got the bats like the Vols, you’re going to win a lot of games. The SEC is pretty loaded this year, so it’s going to be fun to watch all season long!

Appreciate your insight and confidence in the Vols. I really liked what I saw this weekend against a quality opponent.
