New coach, new philosophy, most transfers of any D1 school, coming off a historically epic bad year...I think 68 is probably fair.

Goal now is to finish the year closer to 8th than 68th.

I thought even with our new coach and new everything in schemes we wouldn’t be that low.

College Football Rankings 2021 - CBS Sports Ranking

Bowling Green 128 out of 130. Tennessee 68th I do believe. Is Tenn to low in this poll.

Nobody on earth right now can predict who is the 68th best team versus 69th or 70th or 67th, etc. Certainly not the so-called "media" who actually aren't very knowledgeable about real football but just indulge in group think within their echo chamber. List-making appeals to the human psyche, so nonsense like this gets clicks, but this is basically just entertainment, not anything actually related to reality as it will be played out this season. You can safely ignore stupid pieces of pseudo-journalistic entertainment like this, it means nothing.

It may be journalistic entertainment, I thought this poll may be wit the AP poll. I don’t know how CBS ranks them by themselves, but it’s interesting where they have everyone ranked.

We're a top 25 team in talent.
Haven't shown it as of yet.

5 of our former starter went to BETTER programs and are starting there. Even though we were 3-7 with them.

After week 3 everyone will be taking about the Tennessee Vols.

Yeah, I take those rankings with a grain of salt. UT hasn’t been good, but teams like Toledo, San Jose St, UAB, etc ranked ahead is pretty ridiculous.

I don’t think these teams can beat us. I don’t understand why these teams are ahead of us, either. You made a point. I didn’t think to look at that even better.

We'll see as the season goes along.

All I know:
At this point, with the exception of the UT qb commitment, this is the Vols worse recruiting class of all time.

lol
Don't understand all the (thread) Booms every time we get a 3-star commitment???

Well, right now I think that any commit we get is exciting, and warrants a boom thread when they do commit. I’m just glad we are getting some commitments that wants to be here.

The AP poll has head-to-head games and win-loss records to go by. This silly listicle just wants to draw eyeballs. There is no substance to it and nobody can predict such a thing. It offers the illusion of expertise, but actually has no predictive value whatsoever.
