What on earth has either Tennessee done to merit their preseason rating?

Butch Jones has the familiar (to UM fans) 5,7,9 win pattern going into year 4 as head coach. Maybe some voters figure Jones will continue going up in wins. Plus I guess the close losses to Alabama and OU impressed poll voters. I still believe their poll rating is ridiculous.

Chris Peterson was great at BSU. But he hasn't done much of anything at UW to merit his high preseason rating. I guess voters believe his Boise magic will transfer over to UW even though it hasn't yet. Plus voters may figure that a new dynasty will begin in the PAC 12 North since Mark Helfrich at Oregon is seeming a bit like Larry Coker and Frank Solich right now.

With your 2 posts (the other of which is composed of the word "thanks") it seems as if you may be a UW fan posing as a Cane fan.

There isn't a single team that doesn't have significant questions. Alabama lost a lot (though lots of talent behind them & a new QB). Clemson lost a lot on D, FSU is breaking in a new QB & has a lot of turnover, Ohio St. had a TON of turnover...this will be a very interesting, wide-open year.

Tennessee and Ole Miss.

Of course Ole Miss is overrated the year FSU leads off against them, so when they win everyone will crown FSU.
 
Tennessee got a preseason number 1 vote. They are far and beyond the most overrated
