So true. This was the first time we’ve been ranked preseason in forever right?
Didn’t even think about Covid year.I think Covid year was the only exception (due to a handful of conferences saying they weren’t going to play).
Yeah this a solid take. We won't move up much. The narrative will be the FLA didn't deserve their ranking. I'd rather us be under ranked anyway. Keep winning and the number beside the name doesn't mean much by the end of the season.Agree - it will be that exactly. Truth be told, after watching tonight, I think they were overrated because media has overrated QB Richardson so much.
They are solid (athletically talented in a lot of spots) but probably not even top 25
It does for bowls.Yeah this a solid take. We won't move up much. The narrative will be the FLA didn't deserve their ranking. I'd rather us be under ranked anyway. Keep winning and the number beside the name doesn't mean much by the end of the season.
True but if we're sitting at 10-2 at the seasons end we're getting a new years 6 game. I want us to be disrespected in the polls until afternthe TN game. If we're sitting at 10-2 at the end of the season, we'll be top 10 and in a new years 6 bowl.It does for bowls.
Thats reasonable but the way those bozos jumped UF from #31 to #12 after lucking out and winning at home over #7 Utah last week, they will look like even bigger bird brains if they dont do the same for UK esp. after we went in there and beat day ass without CRod and plus all the upsets today!At the minimum jump:
Florida
Utah
Notre Dame
Texas A&M
Pitt
Wisconsin
I will say between 12 - 14

Dont lump me in there. I posed the question earlier if 2 top 8 teams have ever lost on the same day at home v unranked opponents?I don’t think some people are processing the reality of what it means for ND and A&M to lose at home to team mid-majors that lost their respective openers.
Biggest difference is initial rankings are with zero games played. Now, we are 2 games in so that big of a jump is less likely.Thats reasonable but the way those bozos jumped UF from #31 to #12 after lucking out and winning at home over #7 Utah last week, they will look like even bigger bird brains if they dont do the same for UK esp. after we went in there and beat day ass without CRod and plus all the upsets today!
Ill say anywhere from 8-10 or the AP sucks hairy balls.
Will UT (Texas or Tenn) jump UK in the rankings? 🫤
Point taken but is it justified after what this team did after giving up a safety to fall down 16-7 in the 2nd Quarter and kicking to the Gators from our own 20? Only to rally for 19 straight unanswered points and shut them out at the Swamp in the 2nd half without Crod? Plus all the big time upsets today? Ill hang up and listen.Biggest difference is initial rankings are with zero games played. Now, we are 2 games in so that big of a jump is less likely.
And we owe those Vols!I dunno but there is a shot of being 7-0 going to Knoxville. Legit shot.
Well get ready for one because most of the Nation is tired of Bama, UGA and Clemson and Ohio St every yr.If we jump more than three spots it’ll be a revolution in media coverage
Unranked teams don't make the CFP. The lengths you go to be a contrarian never ceases to amaze me. Even in a night full of positives.Do. Not. Care. Unrank us for all I care.
This is definitely spot on, although I think we jump to about 14 while florida falls to 20-22.We'll move up to 17 or 18 and UF will drop to 20/21. National pundits will say they were over-rated.
We will jump to 14 if we jump everyone in front of us (plus Utah) who lost. I don’t see us jumping the 9 teams in the top 11 who won. I think we will jump NC State. Maybe we jump Miami. That would put us between 12-14.Point taken but is it justified after what this team did after giving up a safety to fall down 16-7 in the 2nd Quarter and kicking to the Gators from our own 20?

imo this will happen. it appears utah is legit and we did what they couldn’t.At least give us fl’s spot…#12
Still not convinced Utah is legit. They won big today, but it was against a FCS team who went 1-10 last year.imo this will happen. it appears utah is legit and we did what they couldn’t.
well they have to win out to get back top 10 respect and they probably won’t, but fwiw more than a few people think they are the best team on west coast.Still not convinced Utah is legit. They won big today, but it was against a FCS team who went 1-10 last year.
I’d puke that awful Orange if TN does. We were:Will UT (Texas or Tenn) jump UK in the rankings? 🫤
For sure. With FL out, the hype will all turn on the Vols. It already started on SEC network last night. Very little talk of UK's HUGE WIN at the swamp, but Nokia and his crew were already pumping the Vols as second best team in the East and a real contender to overtake Georgia.Will UT (Texas or Tenn) jump UK in the rankings? 🫤
No problem…Stoops feeds off of disrespect…Watching some TV last night, there was a lot of talk whether Arkansas or UT was the third best team in the SEC. Never mentioned UK. Don’t be shocked if UTs win at Pitt isn’t built as a bigger win than ours at UF. I would guess 14-15 at best.

I do, you damn hillbilly.Who gives a damn, ya'll just beat Florida ha. Great job!! Keep winning and we'll see you in Knoxville in a few weeks! Great win tonight!
Go Vols
Right, but not this early. It matters being unranked vs ranked, but being 15 vs 10 doesn't matter at all at this point in the season. Of course every game matters, that's why this sport is superior to basketball.This isn’t basketball, ranking means everything. Every game means everything.
