Important week based on history. Top 12 of the week 6 poll probably holds the National Champion.
Edit: I think the last 20 champions are top 12 in this weeks poll.

Right lol The article says this is our third time to be ranked #1, but I thought Barnes had taken us their twice already. We have one under Pearl, and now two under Barnes? I would have sworn we had been ranked #1 under CRB twice already. Whatever, we are a fixture in the upper echelon of college basketball now, and that is rarefied air for UT, which has a fairly strong hoops history as it is, but is now consistently elite. |

That would have been my guess also, but now I realize I’m not sure |

nope. 4 weeks in 2018-2019. That is it for Deacon. We got to #1 in the KP for a minute back in 2023.

10 years ago, would you ever have imagined we'd see the phrase "as expected, Vols new #1 in the polls" on Hoopsville ever again?

I don't know if we are the best team in the country, seems unlikely really. And I sure as heck didn't think we would ever be ranked #1 this year.

Based on what I've seen so far this year, Duke is the best team. I think we're in the next tier down along with Auburn, Bama, Iowa St, UCONN (yes, I think they'll be fine), and Kansas. |
