Every single team we played that season was either ranked when we played and/or finished with a top 20 ranking. Not even top 25 but all in the top 20. Hell Vandy was ranked 10 and Kentucky was also ranked as were every single one of our OOC foes.
Sir,please. Now you are a genuinely good poster and a seemingly decent guy so I will spare you with my lame and often misguided sarcasm.But the assertion that all of the Vols' opponents were ranked isn't even remotely close. Yes, UCLA and Georgia Tech had fine teams as well as Auburn,Florida and Alabama. But Wake Forest,Rutgers and Memphis State were dreadful. And Ole Miss, Kentucky and Vanderbilt all were at the bottom. Now, Tennessee did indeed level all three of them in November. Sadly Vanderbilt hasn't been in the top 10 since 1956. They were ranked #17 briefly in 1984 but going 3-7-1 with a 7-0 win over Chattanooga, losing to Iowa State and going 1-5 in SEC play doesn't tend to get you ranked.

I just looked at the box score and AU held the ball 45+ minutes in that game.
Also, appears AU was still pretty pissed the following week. FSU had two weeks to prepare and was ranked #4 nationally and AU put a 32 point beat down on them anyway.
