This is not posted to create panic; however, the only "measurable" we have to gauge the status of the football program as of Sunday, Dec 16, 2012 is the recruiting rankings. Today, Rivals lists Tennessee at #38. The day Tennessee hired Coach Jones, Rivals ranked the Vols at #24. The Vols are now ranked below every SEC Team except Kentucky (#60). Certainly, a lot can happen between now and Feb 6th, but with the dead period, it will be a climb for sure.

I think before it's all said and done, we will crack the top 15. But consider this at this point and time; Oregon is at 45 and TCU is at 46, Kansas St is at 51 and Stanford is at 57, Miami is at 67 and Boise State is at 69 and Louisville is at 83. There is more time, but if we have a good coach and coaching staff, we will be just fine.
