Ranking? 15? 10?

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
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.
 
I don’t think some people are processing the reality of what it means for ND and A&M to lose at home to two mid-majors that lost their respective openers.

At the minimum jump:

Florida
Utah
Notre Dame
Texas A&M
Pitt
Wisconsin

I will say between 12 - 14
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.

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 know the magnitude.

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.

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.
 
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

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.
 
Should be top 10 but I’m sure they won’t put us there
 
Still not convinced Utah is legit. They won big today, but it was against a FCS team who went 1-10 last year.
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.
 
After seeing the likes of ND and Texas AM fall we are better then alot of teams in front of us. Also throw in that favorable schedule we are not worse then the 8th best team in the country right now.
 
We'll be 15.

But frankly, we play better when we are disrespected, so I hope we drop.
 
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.
 
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.

This isn’t basketball, ranking means everything. Every game means everything.

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.
