Title: AP and Coaches Polls Post by: Tnphil on September 06, 2016, 08:52:38 EDT AP Poll: UT drops to 17 from 9 last week.
Coaches Poll: UT drops to 14 from 10 last week. Title: Re: AP and Coaches Polls Post by: Creek Walker on September 06, 2016, 09:37:57 EDT The Coaches Poll is harder to quibble with, but dropping 8 spots in the AP Poll after beating a team ranked in the Top 50 in EVERY power index is a head-scratcher.
With that said, I don't think even the blindest Tennessee fan would claim that this team played like a Top 10 team last week, so Butch needs to just go beat the dog snot out of VaTech and not worry about rankings. Title: Re: AP and Coaches Polls Post by: Tnphil on September 06, 2016, 10:02:49 EDT Biggest drop in the AP from a team that won since 1989.
Title: Re: AP and Coaches Polls Post by: BanditVol on September 06, 2016, 10:23:34 EDT Biggest drop in the AP from a team that won since 1989. I can't argue with either, really. At this point rankings don't matter, just beat Va Tech Title: Re: AP and Coaches Polls Post by: PirateVOL on September 06, 2016, 10:36:10 EDT Just keep wining, the polls will take care of themselves :powert:
Title: Re: AP and Coaches Polls Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 07, 2016, 12:38:26 EDT Biggest drop in the AP from a team that won since 1989. And that's what happens when you're the only game in the timeslot that anyone is watching, and basically the first game of the year. If we had played the same game on Saturday, we probably drop no more than 2-3 spots. I hope our next AD will take that to heart. Big schools have absolutely nothing to gain by playing small schools on Thursday night. Never again. :frown: Title: Re: AP and Coaches Polls Post by: tshadow on September 08, 2016, 02:09:50 EDT It was a good adjustment. App State had a good record last year but they just didn't play a very laudable schedule. Having said that I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have about the same success this year as they did last year.
