I think we are a much better team today than we were at the beginning of the season. Sometimes we have played like a good football team and sometimes we play like a young inexperienced football team, especially at the QB position. We are very short on talented depth at almost every position and have not been able to cover up that problem. I want to see what happens after the bye week at the positions where we lost players to injury. If we win out , including a bowl game, I think we would be in the top 25-30 teams in the Country. For me, I will have to wait and see before I put them in my top 25.55th? Downright depressing. I think we’re a good bit better right now than the 55th best team in the country.
ESPN FPI has us #34.
Truth is probably somewhere in between.
Go Vols!

If the rankings were the past 5 games we would be in the top 15. But they're not!College Football Rankings 2019 - CBS Sports 130
Here we come slowly up the ranks.
I don't know about "Everyone" and Nebraska, but we had some real experts on this very board, that were willing to insult you, if you didn't agree that Florida shouldn't be a top 10 school, and by mid season they wouldn't even be in the top 20!!!! It's okay, because it lets you know for future ref, who is Not the Expert that they think they are!!The worst part is they put FSU ahead of us. BYU and Ga St have made their case but FSU is just garbage
But I do think it’s funny everyone had Nebraska as a top 25 team to start the season and they aren’t even top 75 in this ranking.

After Chattanooga we were #93! But before Chattanooga, we were #91(week two), as bad as we were, we still weren't as bad as Arkansas! So, we have that going for us, not to mention we've gone from #93 all the way to #55-that's a big, big move up.Arky #119
Believe that is the lowest I have ever seen a SEC team rated. But have to say well deserved from the little I have seen of them.
