USA Today hates the Vols.... 33rd in Preseaon Poll

[JohnD13]

Behind powerhouses such as UNC and Cincinnati....

Hate away...

Meh, who cares. We'll prove ourselves on the field not some preseason poll.

Bingo

Pre-season is just about as important as the half-time score.

 

[TBtheGBwiththeTD]

I mean this list is just dreadful.

Stanford in the top 10. Boise st in the top 5. UT is better than both of those teams.

USA today sent a message to the SEC about how they feel about them with these rankings

Halftime scores are MUCH more important than pre-season rankings

 

[SteelerVol]

Talk about motivation. ..

 

[volfan51128]

Pre season rankings are bull **** anyways. Lets see where were at mid season!

I would rather be underrated than overrated.

Until we start beating quality opponents on a regular basis we don't deserve to be any higher...Jmo

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

Link? I don't see that anywhere

I just took an informal poll of the nation's crappiest newspapers. Good news USA Today, you were tops again.

Pre-season is just about as important as the half-time score.

Given Jones' record when trailing at halftime I hope you are wrong.

 

[SimplyOrange]

Clearly the writer didn't get the "Hype Tennessee to the max" memo.

 

[Aesius]

We would crush Cincy and UNC.

Showing it on the field is for final rankings. Preseason rankings are about projected talent, which makes me think they are slightly under-rating us. I think we should probably be just out of the top 25.

 

[Cartervol]

it just doesn't matter. Win and it all comes out in the wash.

 

[TNnative]

I would rather these silly preseason polls underestimate the Vols than overbuild the hype. No need in getting too worked up until the big wins happen.

 

[photovol]

Team #119 will earn their ranking and USA Today can do whatever they want with their opinion, can't argue with success, no?

 

[ReaderVol]

It doesn't matter. Besides how can you blame any rag for not picking us to do much. Have you seen our program the last decade? If we have the season most of us think we will all of this will go away. Until then we have to have thick skin.

Umm...USA Today published its preseason poll like three weeks ago, Vols were ranked #25.

Things have gotten so bad with this program that im actually happy to see us in a pre-season top 33 poll.

Only a matter of time before were cracking the top 20 in these things.

 

[MT LeConte]

I'd rather start there than finish there.

 

[kunsanvol]

Pre-season college football polls means less than NFL pre-season games. Who cares.

Are you saying the paper has published a second pre-season poll? Can you link it?

He's talking about this story which came out today.
Author calls it a 're-rank'.
