Texas AM and UGA beg to differ.

They would lose to all 5 of those teams.

Edit: oh I see your point, disregard. Though I'm not ready to say Georgia looked good. It stands to reason that UNC isn't a great team. And as always, UGA had Chubb and that's pretty much it.

This is not even close enough to be believable. Georgia only moving up five spots after beating a ranked team, A&M going all the way to 16th, Ohio St. leapfrogging Florida St.,Ole miss and florida not moving at all????

Florida struggled with the team ranked 128 out of 128 they may move up one or two, but thats it.

They should just take us out all together. That way the fahr Butch crowd will be happy and stop posting.

Let's think for a second. Let's assume we're behind

Bama
FSU
Clemson
Ohio State
Michigan
Stanford
And then let's assume Houston jumps us and makes the top ten like they should.

So, there is no chance we are below 8. Now I expect LSU to drop quite a bit, but the question is how far will OU drop? They could drop in front of us or behind us. Let's say they drop behind us.

Number 10 and 11 Notre Dame and Ole Miss are obviously going to fall, so that leaves 12 TCU and 13 Michigan State. Neither of those teams looked great in their openers as well. I don't see how those teams could possibly jump us.

Now Washington did alright, but I don't see how Washington can jump 5 spots by beating a cupcake.

Now UGA might have a bit jump, but I'm not sure if they are going to get into the top ten. I can see them at 11 or 12.

All in all, best case scenario we remain at 9 or even jump to 8. Worst case we bump a few spots to 11 or 12.

Because our game was on prime time, and on the national stage, we are going to get a lot more backlash than TCU or Michigan State despite their poor performance. So because of that, we may fall just based on everyone witnessing our mediocre display.

The Battle At Bristol is MUCH more INTER$TING if there is a "Top 10 Team" involved...therefore...Tennessee will be 10 or BETTER (due to LSU & others laying eggs)

Makes a lot of sense.

I can see UGA, TX, and Houston jumping us and Oklahoma or LSU staying in the top 10. I think preseason rankings should go out the window after week 1 and the teams should be reranked based on how they looked, not just who won and who lost.

No way in hell Texas jumps to top ten.

I thought we would drop to 15-20 on Thursday night, but after all of the games this weekend it's likely that we stay close to where we are now

That's a knee jerk reaction of a fan. I have never seen a team drop more than 1-2 spots after an ugly win and it's only been when a team or two behind had an outstanding win.

While we may deserve to fall a spot or two, based on the outcome of other games this weekend we will with stay at 9 with Houston and maybe UGA jumping over us... or we move up 1 spot with only Houston jumping us.

Anyone seen the BS espn has on their power rankings? Us at 19, Wisconson and Texas at 10 & 11? In the freaking SEC power rankings they have us below FL at #6.

Just a bunch of a$$hats over there.
