247Sports took the national disrespect for the Tennessee Vols to a new level this week.

The national sports publication ranked the top 10 college basketball and football coaching duos for the 2022 season. When I opened the article, I didn't really expect to see Rick Barnes and Josh Heupel on the list.

Barnes has been solid at Tennessee, but he hasn't found much success in March. And Heupel has only been on the job for a year.

I wasn't going to raise much of a fuss if they weren't included.

But then I saw who WAS included.

And oh man, the disrespect is real.

247Sports put Kentucky's John Calipari and Mark Stoops at No. 8 and Arkansas' Sam Pittman and Eric Musselman at No. 7.

How are Barnes and Heupel not on par with those coaches?

For starters, Stoops is 2-7 against Tennessee football. He's 0-1 against Heupel at UT.

Barnes is 9-7 against Calipari and Kentucky.

As for Pittman and Musselman?

Pittman has done well, but he's still only one game over .500 at Arkansas — the same as Heupel. Musselman has done well too — he led the Razorbacks to an Elite 8 appearance last season. But his resumé is still pretty short. He doesn't have the track record that Barnes has. Plus, Musselman is 2-2 against Barnes (not counting the outcome of Saturday's game in Knoxville).

In what world is the Vols duo not at least in the mix here?

At this point, I don't think the disrespect for the Volunteers is ever going to stop.
