If Tennessee loses to Alabam will they drop in the polls?

Be careful tugging on that thread.

Why were aren't on an ESPN site?

 

[Surfahgal]

Did Tennessee really beat Florida or did Florida just choke that win away?

The Vol's cheated. How do you think the Fulmer Cup began?

We have lots of sec homers and you're going to invite ridicule and irrational discussion.

SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!

 

[Rebel]

what two loss SEC team is in the top 10?

Soon.

 

[bamafan4evr12]

A 2 loss team in the Top 10? LOL


Well then again... its the SEC

Hell I'm surprised ND with their 4 losses isn't in the top 10 either

 

[KansasSooner]

Does it really matter what happens to UT? I mean Oregon ain't getting back in regardless...

By the way, who the hell is Alabam?

One of the 40 thieves?

If Tennessee plays Ala-Bam close, Tennessee will rise in the polls. This is the nature of the SEC.

Somehow, people don't see they played App State, Ohio, Vanderbilt, and the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles.

Nevermind that Miami whipped App State in Boone NC. Whereas, Tennessee barely beat them in Knoxville, TN.

Nevermind that the Tennessee red zone defense is swiss cheese, and that anyone can run on Tennessee.

If Tennessee loses to [Alabama] will they drop in the polls?

Depends. If they lose in triple-OT by one point, think they'd drop only a little. If they lose by 10 or more, they drop by quite a bit.


So in answer to the title question ...










Yes.

Nevermind that Miami whipped App State in Boone NC. Whereas, Tennessee barely beat them in Knoxville, TN.

And dropped 8 spots in the poll for it.

 

[WestEndVol]

We've beaten #17 VT, #18 Florida and Georgia, and no we haven't played Vandy or TTU yet.

What have y'all done to deserve a top 10 ranking, when your best win is against 2-4 Oregon? Guess that's the nature of the Big 10?

 

[VTgator]

By the way, who the hell is Alabam?

The poster must be Neil Young. He pronounces it that way...

"Ohhh, ohhh, Alabam....."

 

[VTgator]

We've allowed #17 VT to beat themselves, #18 Florida and Georgia, and no we haven't played Vandy or TTU yet.

FIFY

 

[DHoey]

Or stay at #9?

hot damn, I like Rocky Top, I do indeed play it on my radio from time to time, but they are getting annoying. With their lucky wins and the fact they lose a game and don't even drop at all in the polls. C'mon now.

Of course if Alabama loses Tennessee will jump to probably #4 and Alabama will drop to #3. But I am rooting for Alabama in this just to see if the pollster actually drop Tennessee or not. I like ya UT, but you guys aren't deserving of a top 10 ranking.

Rankings are for fhegs and SEC nutswingers anyway....

 

[_rolltideroll_]

The correct answer is YES, they will drop like a rock. ESPN hates UT as much as the rest of the free world. And nobody wants to hear that infernal song again in life.

E$PN will come out with the Annual Top 11, just as soon as an 2 loss SEC team gets in

I believe the objective is WINS. 5-0. As in no losses. How many of the 128 FBS teams are undefeated?

Nebraska started out unranked. Worked the way up by winning. Tennessee started out in the Top Ten. Plays games close, loses a game, still in the Top Ten. The Top Ten ranked Tennessee has struggled with App State and Ohio. When the team is unranked, you are allowed to struggle with teams, when you are ranked in the Top Ten, you shouldn't be struggling.

Do not worry, Nebraska will be exposed in Columbus for sure. The week before in Madison might not look so hot either. October 15 in Bloomington, Indiana, will be a struggle also. Those are all away games played in different states, not like playing an away game in Bristol, TN.
