Scout.com: CFN 2014 Season Rankings - No. 51 to 60
What surprises me about this ranking is that they had UT ranked between 25 and 35 for the majority of the season.
60. Tennessee 6-6
2014 CFN Season Score: 8.69 2014 CFN Preseason Prediction: 6-6
Key Note: The Volunteers took that step forward with a young, athletic team that got bowl eligible with wins in three of the last four games highlighted by an overtime victory over South Carolina. The two Quality Wins came right away beating Utah State and Arkansas State, but the team fought well in three close losses to Florida, Georgia and Missouri.
I think it's a sham that the Vols are ranked below USCe in this poll. CFN is usually pretty good for info but I think they dropped the ball on this.
Remember, these rankings are based on the CFN Historical Season Formula, meaning it's how good the seasons were overall, and NOT based on how good the teams might have been. The idea behind this is to figure out which programs had the best seasons, and it has nothing to do with talent.

UT had a tougher strength of schedule (29 to 37) per Jeff Sagarin.

The only legitimate blogs are the ones who say what I want them to say.After years of following CFN, Ive come to realize they aren't any better than your typical blog.
Occasionally they have insight, but they just have too few writers to be able to give enough attention to all the teams in fcs football.
And it doesn't have anything to do with this article. Although I think 60th was way too low. UT has definitely had at least a top 50 season. Top 40 is more like it.
The only legitimate blogs are the ones who say what I want them to say.
or that are right about things. Their game predictions perpetually rank in the bottom half of mainstream prognosticators.
And even if you don't go there for predictions, their posts are often riddled with mistakes. like citing players to make a difference in some game when that player is out for the year, etc
Duh fouq? Dude, I'm not defending CFN, just pointing out the truth. I've been internetting for long enough, and have been to enough of message boards chocked full of tards, that I know that when it comes to sports, most guys will let emotion get in the way of rationality, and thus, the blogs who write what you don't want to hear are "idiots".
Ok
I gave completely objective reasons that CFN isn't better than any other blog out there. It has nothing to do with Tennessee.
So I'm not sure what your reply has anything to do with what I said.
