Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[MarcoVol]

Teams on this list that shouldn't be above TN (or on the list at all):
Florida
Miss State
Kentucky
LSU
Auburn

3 of those have coaching staff turnover. 2 of them have significant roster turnover. 4 of them are very unpredictable entering the season. 3 have lost their primary starting QB from 2021.

Only 1, Mississippi State, has coaching staff and roster stability. Only Kentucky and Miss State have retained starting QBs.

Tennessee has coaching & roster stability and is returning the starting QB. Considering they beat UK and Miss State didn't really out perform the Vols last season, I would expect UT to be ahead of all the aforementioned schools in preseason rankings.

Also, preseason rankings are stupid. They should wait until at least the 3rd weekend before ranking anybody.

We went 7-6 and UK went 10-3. And dating back to last season, the media LOVES Levis.

How is Texas getting such high projections?

 

[jakez4ut]

is it 1985 again?

How is Texas getting such high projections?

That's what I'm saying. How is that possible?

 

[Vols410]

One of the reasons we aren't on the list is because we haven't made noise with the transfer portal yet.

Don’t think so. FPI is all past performance. They’re not factoring in portal additions.

 

[Ten_Titans]

FPI is one of the silliest projection algorithms there is, and that goes double at the beginning of the season. It is wildly different from Vegas lines more often than it isn't.

It should not be causing the teeth knashing on Vol Twitter that it is.

I think most would agree 8 is a little underwhelming, 9 would be good.
Just think. If we spent on a $90M coach, we might pick up a .5 win projection.

Wife and I have been watching enough Vols baseball that she suggested we go to a Georgia Southern game. My first time here. Eagles are down 2-0 heading to the 3rd, if you’re curious. View attachment 447508

Eagles get the win, 4-2. Great performance in the 7th and 8th to win it over the hated Georgia State Panthers (ie, the much inferior GSU)

Sure would like to have traded Bama for Ms St, Ole Miss for LSU and Pitt for Louisville. Records reversed.

Hey @drvenner,
My daughter does some choreography. I tried unsuccessfully to get her to incorporate this awesome dance sequence in one of her dances.
See if your daughter will…

I said yesterday that my view is that Kentucky is always overrated because they are only ever compared to Kentucky. Well......
