6. Tennessee

Last week rank: 6

Week 2 result: (2-0) 45-24 Win against Virginia Tech

With over 155,000 people watching, Tennessee looked like it was going to lose to Virginia Tech. Then the Volunteers turned it around and looked like the team many thought they would be headed into 2016.

Down 14-0 headed into the second quarter, someone must have finally woke the Volunteers up. Tennessee responded with 24 points in the second quarter. The offense finally looked explosive, if not outright unstoppable at times. The defense for the Volunteers looked great, as it should. The Volunteers showed definite improvement from last week, the verdict is still out on how Tennessee will look against a top 25 team. Time will tell.

Tennessee faces Ohio in week 3, the Volunteers have to show up and play and then get ready to face Florida in week 4.

Next Game: Saturday, September 17, vs Ohio 12:00 ET SEC Network

Next: 5. Florida
