( From the Guru files. Here is the gold vault file of all-time appearances in the AP poll until the cutoff for the blog list and a longer list of coaches active reflecting the changes, also, since last season before we get under way with the ongoing history in the new one.

Though Pat Summitt's era ended, Tennessee, under Holly Warlick continues to have missed only 14 weeks out of the overall total. )
