lowes18	11	Faizon Brandon looks ready to play at an elite level right now, frankly with the way he preformed I almost could justify to myself jumping Tennessee into the top 10. Given that they pasted Furman in week one some restraint needs be shown though. Everything about Tennessee looked positive, I was very impressed by this rebuilt offensive line down their starting center, Xavier Gilliam looks like he could potentially be one of the best defensive tackles in the SEC and allowed the rest of that D-line to take over the game, and Tennessee's LB room dominated even missing starting captain Arion Carter. If Tennessee can match an elite Knowles defense with a Huepel offense lead by a potentially elite QB, there is no reason Tennessee can't compete for an SEC or national title this year.

Xy13	16	{+1} [1-0] (56-9) --- 3 QBs with an average of 78% completion rating, 11.4 yd average, and 4 TDs / 0 INTs cumulative. It's nice to have backups, though the started accounted for 5 total TDs. They also managed to rush more than they passed.

Pyromania1983	17	A bit higher on Tennessee than the consensus, the team looked great against a bad Furman squad. They want to stack up wins in the early season as the 2nd half schedule becomes tougher.
