nw____	4	It’s only week 2 but they are looking better and better every week. And they looked pretty awesome in week 1. Starting to look like this may be a scary team for the foreseeable future with Nico + the QB recruiting they’re doing (really they’re killing recruiting everywhere right now).

Due_Connection179	6	Last Week - #19 // W 69 - 3 vs Chattanooga // W 51 - 10 at #23 NC State People need to remember that early season polls are crazy when they see a jump from #19 to #6. This basically happened because I thought Tennessee would beat NC State, but this was never a real game from the start.

70stang	23	Tennessee is second in this tier, dominating both opponents they played, including NC State at a neutral site. Georgia gets the nod purely due to strength of opponent; as a human I value Clemson more highly than NC State, despite Tennessee being my team. Hopefully this serves as an object lesson that when I do have to get involved with algorithmically equal teams, I am as objective as possible. You may also notice that Tennessee beat their FCS opponent by a higher margin, and their P5 opponent by a higher margin. This doesn't really matter, because a blowout is a blowout. Once you cross the 30 point lead line, it doesn't really matter, and the opponent quality becomes more important.
ColombianInIowa24	25	Always overrated. Why did people rank NCSU in the first place? I swear it was just to give UT a quality win. NCSU is bad.

Tornadohunter24	4	[+14] [2-0] For the first (and probably not last) time, I am having to eat crow about a team. The Vols rolled past the NC State Wolfpack in a blowout in Charlotte, completely nullifying any prior doubts I had about them (for now, at least). They'll have another tune-up game against FCS-game loser Kent State this weekend.

CriterionCrypt	5	Tennessee is one of the hottest teams in the country right now and they see a huge jump in my poll this week. They went out against NC State, the darkhorse to win the ACC, and just squared off on them. Tennessee could make a run to an SEC Title if they keep it up.

throwaway_6786	10	Fantastic showing by the Volunteers. Heupel has this offense firing on all cylinders and the defense appears to have improved dramatically from last year. It felt like NC State was sticking with Tennessee until that pick-6, and Tennessee ran away with the game from that point on. Well done to seize the opportunity to not let your opponent up when you've got them down. Look out above, the Vols are rising quickly.

eddietheintern	13	Nico has been improving and Tennessee is finally starting to perform about as well as you'd expect given their talent composite. Very Penn State-like program but they have way more nuclear bomb teams in the conference above them than PSU does this year so they're less likely to make the playoff
