Here is the link to ALL of ESPN's position rankings (QB, RB, WR/TE, OL, DL, LB, DB, ST).
2015 SEC pre-spring position rankings - SEC Blog - ESPN
I've taken all the rankings and I've assigned point rankings to them 14 for 1st and 1 for last and everything in between.
I've weighted them two different ways.
(QBx2, OL and DLx1.5 and ST 1.5 all other no weight)
(QBx1.5, OL and DLx2 and STx 1.5 all the other no weight)
(Then an ranking based on no weights)
I had an NFL salary weight but it wasn't much different and I didn't know what to do with ST.
Before we dive into this years results here is what last year's looked like.
Here would have been last years using the x2 QB and 1.5 OL/DL formula
2014
1. Alabama - 121
2. Auburn - 106.5
3. SC - 98.5
4. LSU - 95.5
5. Georgia - 93.5
6. Missouri - 92.5
7. Miss St - 89
8. Ole Miss - 88.5
9. Florida - 88
10. Texas A&M - 78.5
11. Tennessee - 46.5
12. Arkansas - 43
13. Kentucky - 31
14. Vandy - 29
That projected
WEST
1. Alabama (0)
2. Auburn (-2)
3. LSU (-2)
4. Miss St (+2)
5. Ole Miss (+2)
6. A&M (0)
7. Arkansas (0)

1. SC (-4)
2. UGA (0)
3. Missouri (+2)
4. Florida (+1)
5. TN (+1)
6. Kentucky (0)
7. Vandy (0)

Here is what TN's points would have looked like the last four years with this analysis and where they would have fallen in the rankings. We...are...BACK!
2012
79 points (10th)
2013
54 points (11th)
2014
46.5 points (11th)
2015
109.5 points (1st)
OK so I just threw schedules into the mix.
I added or subtracted 15 ranking points based on home or away on every teams schedule for all three point rankings. Some of these matchups were super close, but if you put these rankings into the teams schedules with home and away factored in here are the results....drum roll please.
SEC East
1- Tennessee (7-1) L @Bama
2- Georgia (6-2) L's @TN and @Aub
3- Missouri (5-3) L's @UGA, TN and @Ark
4- South Carolina (3-5) W's UK, Vandy and UF
5- Florida (3-5) W's @UK, OM and Vandy
6- Vandy (1-7) W over Kentucky
7- Kentucky (0-8)
SEC West
1- LSU - (7-1) L @Bama
2- Auburn - (7-1) L @LSU
