After back-to-back shite-stomping of Chokelahoma and Florida, Tennessee will jump into Top 5 in the AP/Coaches poll. Volmageddon 2015 will be in full effect.

According to the article, there is a 12 way tie for 5th and Tennessee is included in that tie......this is the dumbest fricking thing I've looked at in a long time

Tennessee is the inside joke of shitty magazines and blogs for 2015.

Just be honest...wouldn't you be glad just to beat Florida after losing 10 straight?

That seems about right for Tennessee.. 7th in the SEC isn't that much of a stretch really.

Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Missouri, LSU should all be way better. Tennessee would be lumped in there with everyone else (except Vandy) with a chance at maybe even finishing 6th.

Oh wait.. you meant of ALL college teams??

I really think that UT will be better than #7 in the East this year. Keep your heads up Vols.

Oh & 10 straight and counting.

The real question is: How far ahead is Tennessee now in the 2015 Off-season Champs rankings? Some other SEC schools are falling behind big time.

Laugh out fricking loud.

Tennessee will have had an excellent year if they win 8 games.

It's a stats site that is actually pretty good. The main thing that goes into how they weight things is returning starters (total not specific), whether or not a team returns a kicker and punter with each counting differently (reason for that is oddly enough returning your kicker has turned out to be more important when analyzing data over all teams than a returning QB - go figure), coaching rating (forget what it's called but basically it assigns a score based upon overachievement (winning games you shouldn't) as well as underachievement (losing games you shouldn't), and your 4 year talent score (basically it averages out talent over the previous four years to get a feel for the talent on any given roster) and a few other items.

They're usually pretty damned good about picking the top teams, in particular but they make mistakes like any other site because teams don't always perform to their talent, injuries happen and in general over the course of a season "shite happens."

IOW, take the whole poll as a general guide not something set in stone but compared to others they have a pretty good record.
