Apparently, a bye week doesn’t do any good in terms of retaining confidence.
Maybe people are just restless and impatient. Whatever it is, it caused confidence in the football program to dip just slightly over the past week.
Something tells me it won’t dip again if the Vols beat Missouri on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide (6th) were knocked out of the top-5 after losing starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the season last week. Georgia (4th) and Oklahoma (5th) moved ahead of Alabama.
Baylor (11th) and Minnesota (12th) fell out of the top-10 after suffering their first loss of the year.
