Tennessee's schedule - yikes.
UT plays #2 Oregon, #10 Florida, #4 Georgia, #7 S. Carolina & #1 Alabama in 5 week-stretch. [Butch Jones pounds Maalox]— LostLettermen.com (@LostLettermen) August 1, 2013
not surprised at all that we are unranked. bring it on just put another chip on our teams shoulders. just more motivation to go out and #BEATBAMA
Only team I think is vastly overrated is Notre Dame. As always of course, but they lost a ton and can't be expected to win all those close games again this year.
I think that might be for LSU v TCU.
They played UNC, Ohio State, Penn State, UCF, Miami and 3 FBS schools.
Just kidding...think it's a typo.
When we beat Bama the rankings will go crazy anyway, so it doesn't really matter. A shift in power is about to occur.
Phil Steele disagrees. I also like where he puts the Hokies, when all said and done. And, USCw and VT's 2012 were a little bit similar, but at least VT has their "#1 draft pick" back behind center in 2013.
I don't think you're giving Alex enough credit. She may be the one that brings Shai in:

How is Wisconsin 8-0?
USCw seems too high for me. They had an underperforming year (preseason #1, lost to GiT in the bowl game), mediocure QB, and depth issues (because of lack of scholarships). Think we should've been 23-25 rather than them. Of course Miami is ranked higher than us...because "they're back".
Will be a funny poll when we #BEATBAMA on 8/31 and they are ranked higher than us on 9/1.
At the end of the day, I like being ranked as it gives us exposure with top-25 scores, etc...but it really doesn't matter. I just want to be ranked #1 for one poll...THE LAST ONE!!!
Ummmm..... I know everyone hated that they got into a BCS bowl last year, but Northern Illinois? They are returning 16 starters from that team including Jordan Lynch who is really good.
I think that is what they were going for with both Lane and Cassell. I don't know how many times people walk in and are like "this is it? Looks bigger on TV." Watching the progress being made though, I don't think we'll have any trouble looking like a "big boy stadium" anymore. That thing is going to be enormous.
And 11 SEC teams. The only teams left out were Mizzou, Kentucky, and Auburn.
Also, TCU seems awkwardly high.
Holy hell, there are 51 teams that someone thinks are top 25.
I prefer it this way. Keep the blue collar attitude and make the players feel like they are being disrespected and snubbed. Then tell Gayle and Tyler that AJ was talking bad about their mothers and sit back.
Sadly, I think we will be something like #25 when the AP comes out so that they can hype the Bama game more.
We don't deserve to be on there after a 7-6 season. Then again, neither does USC.
My overrated schools -
-Ohio St - good, but not #2 good.
-Louisville - recieving the patented WVU "surprising bowl-win bump". I worry with a high early ranking and a pathetic schedule, they'll back there way into contention...
-Texas - they're always ranked high... I've sorta started putting them into the FSU and Miami "I'll believe it when I see it" catagory
This is better than Christmas. You two are the tits.
I feel that being within the top 5 "others receiving votes" is a vote of confidence though. There is apprehension after our performance last year, but we still have respect. Our time will come when we #BEATBAMA. Then there will be no doubts.
Have heard the same. He is a rangy cb prospect with great size a la Brandon Facyson.
No, only virgins.
Nothing like waking up on an August morning and seeing this to start your day. I'm so pumped, 30 days! Great job, you guys!
Awesome job guys.
6 week stretch (bye week after Georgia). Still a tough schedule.
