Scout.com: 2015 CFN Preseason Rankings - No. 11 to 20
15. Tennessee
2014 CFN Season Ranking: 49 2015 Prediction: 7-5
3 Best Players: 1) DE Derek Barnett, Soph. 2) QB Joshua Dobbs, Jr. 3) LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Jr.
Relative Strengths: 1) Receiver, 2) Linebacker, 3) Quarterback
Not Quite As Strong ... 1) Offensive Line, 2) Defensive Line, 3) Running Back
The season will be a success if Tennessee wins the SEC East. Yeah, its a big leap for a team that came up with just seven wins last season, but with the returning experience and talent, anything other than a trip to Atlanta will seem a bit empty. Dealing with Arkansas and Alabama from the West wont make it easy, but with Georgia and South Carolina coming to Knoxville, the Vols have their shot to make a massive jump.
I know that this is just another preseason poll but it is good to see our Vols getting some early love.
