IF we beat KY., will we be #1 in the BCS ...

[PalsPal]

ranking, as the first poll is announced the following Tuesday?

BTW, here's the current projection. This has to assume that GA beats us, and whoever they play in the SEC championship game.

Very well could happen, and how awesome would that be?

I'm excited for them. It's been a long time coming.

 

[GreyGoose]

Only time will tell..Been a entertaining run so far

Kentucky will not be an easy game. Another 90-100 pt game.

Mark Stoops is 5-4 after a bye. 3 of those wins are Vandy.

That makes me feel a little better.

They'll have Ohio State at the top till they lose. Who have they beaten, that was ranked this season now?

 

[Gravey]

Don't overlook Kentucky but would be cool to see them in the playoffs after sucking so long.

 

[UCStandSitter]

I honestly don'tbelieve UGA is as good of a team as the Vols. I think UT wins that game. UK is a real threat as is UGA but, I think we can take both.

No one there best win of the season is against 4-3 Notre Dame.

Can't forget about that 2 loss Toledo team! They are a powerhouse.

Serious question: With the exception of the potential value for recruitment, why do so many fans want their respective teams to be #1 in the rankings? I'd rather see a team peak at the right time than carry the burden...the pressure of remaining #1 week after week. The players, coaches, media, hype, all just needlessly consume mental energy with the #1 bullseye on the program.

I for one think the Vols are in a really good place...just keep playing well and don't worry about rankings. Clearly they're top 4 when it matters most. They made it this far...just keep playing and don't let it go to your head.

 

[Spurhunter]

I agree.

 

[MUP]

TN, at home, big home field advantage, big.

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

"We" LOL

 

[cbhunter]

"We" LOL

Not "we" as in "on the 50"
We as in TENNESSEE

I agree 100%.

I started this thread to rile the few opposing fans who had made the sports forum unbearable the last few years.

But, the first rankings do come out next Tuesday, I think, and if we win Saturday, our resume would be deserving of being #1.

Like you said though, it would probably be better to not be #1 at this point.
