TCU lost
Georgia squeaks out one over FCS Nicholls
Appalachian State impressive win this week over ODU

I think we should go up at least 3 spots (Over 0-1 Oklahoma too, they weren't impressive today either).

Nah, IMO they shouldn't. Def played alright but offense looked lethargic when they had to run any kind of real drive. VA tech just shot themselves in the foot more times than I thought possible.

Wouldn't be surprised if we don't move up more than a couple of spots. Other than TCU, no one ahead of us lost. Clemson and Georgia won ugly, but not ugly enough to drop that far.

Okay, yes, if the world were entirely fair, Georgia would drop 8 spots just as we did last week...but the world usually isn't fair, and AP voters didn't have two days, from Thursday night to Saturday, to mull over Georgia's ugly loss before they were distracted by other games. So it won't settle into their minds as strongly.

Nope, I look for us definitely to move up one spot to 16...maybe one or two more, if we really get some love. But that'll be about it.

Go Vols!

Plus, folks didn't have two days, from Thursday night to Saturday, to mull over Georgia's ugly loss before they were distracted by other games. So it won't settle into their minds as strongly.

I wish Butch had more of a killer instinct.

He always does the "respectable" thing and let's up once it's in the bag.

I didn't want them to score another TD, it looks better being 45-17 instead of 45-24.

And why does he always stop scoring at 45?!

I agree with your reasoning. I say 14. We were only behind Iowa by 15 votes, and I think we'll pass Oklahoma now that we've proven we're not useless. I bet UGA falls to 12-13, will likely get passed by Louisville.

I don't give a crap where we are after week 2!
Win 5 more in a row and we will be where we want to be.

Yes, but you have to take the bad with the good and the good with the bad. It just seems to me that many are only looking at the bad.
