Vols Jump 15 Spots to #10 in ESPN FPI

[VolArmy74]

From Go Vols 247.

"Another rapid-riser in the ESPN FPI rankings, Josh Heupel and Tennessee jumped 15 spots to No. 10 after their opening-night shellacking of Ball State. Tennessee jumped out to a 7-0 lead despite not taking the opening kickoff after an early takeaway was followed by a touchdown pass from Hendon Hooker to Jalin Hyatt and that was just the beginning of the beatdown. The Volunteers battle Pittsburgh (1-0) next in what's expected to be one of Week 2's most evenly-matched showdowns."

Florida isn't on there

 

[malinoisvol]

It's a trap.

They certainly should be top 20. They will only get better too

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Huh, they must not read VN, don't they know we are soft and small and are about to get steam rolled by Pitt and UF?

ESPN loves us.

ESPN are idiots

 

[AllThingsTN]

ESPN…loves us?

 

[GA VOL]

Man....I'm worried about LSU. Hasn't even played a game yet, coming off the chaos of last season, and ranked #12

Florida isn't on there

Neither is Pitt

 

[orangefloyd]

Neither is Pitt

Definitely a trap. We’re being set up.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

It’s funny that the FPI has us favored only 54.1% to win against Pitt but against FL, 70.4%.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Florida isn't on there

How do they beat #7 and not be in there? Doesn’t add up.

 

[deezvols]

Don’t tell some of the posters here….

 

[stolitonic]

Makes little sense.

Did espn really expect mighty Ball State to put up a serious challenge?

Now, I could see going from unranked to 23rd or something. Double that as is week 1 and nobody really knew what to expect from anyone. But jumping 15 spots from beating a cupcake, nope.

 

[Manchester Vol]

Neither is Pitt

Nor Vandy - they have an anchor and are 2-0

 

[Credo2]

Florida isn't on there

And yet Utah is

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

It’s funny that the FPI has us favored only 54.1% to win against Pitt but against FL, 70.4%.

Our projected wins is up to 7.9 from 7.1. That Pitt game basically flipped. Based on the strength of the conference to date, it's probably a good bet.

Florida was ranked #24 on the WEEK1 ESPN FPI list I saw just now on NewsBreak.

Pitt was #25. TAM 21. KY 20. OM 17. MISSST 13. LSU 12.

SEC teams sharing the Top 10 with the Vols are SHOCK! GA 2 BAMA 1

You beat me to it lol

 

[dduncan4163]

Florida isn't on there

They must not think much of Utah lol. Florida should be on there though

 

[Woke]

#24 on ESPN FPI according to NewsBreak

Sounds about right

Lol correct. I mean Death Valley isn’t an easy place to win but LSU looks pretty soft right now.
