Vols #1 [Vols officially #1 in CFB Playoff ranking]

[Volzonya]

What we did against bama throughout the game and with 15 seconds left tells me we got this. I'm rollin with that. Never dreamed we would be in this spot. It's been a long strange trip getting here for sure. GBO

Tennessee is definitely due for a win over Georgia.

Surely, you couldn't overcome your Georgia, Bama, Florida curse all in one year.

For Georgia sake, let's hope not. Glad you beat those other two.

Well, I guess you better score more than 30. No doubt that offensive has been super impressive! Like 2019 LSU impressive!

You are deservedly ranked #1.

However, I wouldn't get TOO confident just yet. I think it will be MUCH closer this year, but please remember...

2021 - Georgia 41-17
2020 - Georgia 44-21
2019 - Georgia 43-13
2018 - Georgia 38-12
2017 - Georgia 41-0

Whoo good thing our team from those years isn't playing this weekend. We would be in trouble.

Can you please explain what the former years have to do with this year?

Where have you been the last 40 years?

 

[volfan102455]

To put this in perspective - did any of us really think we would be talking about or even entertaining that our Vols would be ranked number 1 in this first poll, let alone even in the conversation when this season started?

It's great to be a Tennessee Vol at this moment!

 

[Eastknox865]

The players earned it with their play. Only one team has ever won it all with that distinction, but how bad ass would it be to be the second.

I personally didn't want the #1 label going into Athens they got it now they must carry it. No need for any back and forth

It is just good to me that we actually are getting to play meaningful games. For years i have watched every second of every game only for them to just mean a win or a loss. So fun to have a game where it is all on the line in november. Been a minute for this 38 year old for sure! We gonna have to bring our A game. Between The hedges is gonna be nuts!!

 

[SobeVol]

Yes, that Bama win was incredible! LSU, Pitt, & KY meh, don't get me wrong, good wins against ranked opponents but of course Georgia is better than all of those teams.

You mean number 10 likely to beat bama lsu? You’re reaching! Sounds like the dog has his tail tucked

We shall see…. They all said the same thing too, until they walked through the tunnel with an L

Just helping manage expectations, meaning, you might not score 50 points this week.

I think Josh Pate summed it up best for me -

I mean, I'm glad to see Tennessee and our players getting recognition, but nothing about the CFP conversation matters until UT-UGA is decided.

Sadly, when this goes to a 12 team playoff, this game won't really matter. "Game of the century" no more.

How many ranked wins does GA Have? Asking for a friend

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

What were our expectations going into the season vs. Georgia's expectations?

To me, we should have 0 pressure. Even 11-1 and Sugar Bowl is a HUGE win for us.

Georgia dropping the game tomorrow ruins their season effectively. They are the ones under pressure here and we are the underdog.

 

[UTVOLFAN]

HOW DOES THIS FEEL VOLNATION!!!!!

Weird

Is it really a curse? We beat UGA in 2015 and 2016. UGA has had the better of us since Fulmer was gone but I remember some goal posts coming down in Athens in the current century.

I say it's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

I did.

I said after week 1 only Georgia and Alabama were potentially better than us. I had 10-2 being our floor.

No words…. it’s beautifu!

are you thinking UT scores 60?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I would love it if Clemson was our Semifinal opponent .

After Saturday, that makes two, friend.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

LSU was specifically cited as being a good win.

3 of the 5 ranked teams UT beat are still ranked. Clemson still has the same amount of ranked teams, but UT has the better resume in that area

 

[DawgBite]

are you thinking UT scores 60?

Good one!

but really, I say Vols will score in the high 20s.
