Zef_Apollo	9	close loss over UGA still looks good for them plus good wins over Miss St and Arkansas who have strengths (but also some weaknesses. Also good win over Syracuse. Honestly had them lower but then I saw Georgia Techs FPI and SOS were like 30 spots lower than Tennessee.

nw____	17	Really need more good wins. A scary average win against Mississippi State (41-34 in OT) and a much-closer-than-it-should’ve-been win against Arkansas (34-31). The loss to UGA was close but it’s not clear to me yet that that’s a good loss—I’m not sure that UGA is a great team.

_THE__BOULDER_	12	Tennessee had a solid 17 point lead a few minutes into the 4th, but Arkansas did not lay down for the count, with UT winning the game 34 to 31 after Arky scored 2 touchdowns in the 4th trying to catch up. Tenn has some wins by good margins earlier in the season, but I think their defense needs to improve to help them win against other top teams. The close wins against MSU in OT and Arky at home don't help their case, and they will need to focus hard to beat Bama in Tuscaloosa this weekend.
