I wondered if the computers wouldn’t like this one. Oh well.

I like looking at the computers stuff, carry over from the BCS days, but haven't figured them out

 

[Godfatha]

Don't get how the computers love Ohio State. They've played no one yet.

Does not say much about the Sooners. We fell in the rankings for beating them and Georgia went up for beating Open Date.

Played 3 Q4 teams, I not sure what those 0s & 1s are looking at either

The AP will treat us better than the power ratings will this week. Not sure that means we move up, but we certainly won’t drop.

 

[NATHAN05]

Did NC State getting their brains beat in yesterday by a mid tier Clemson hurt us?

 

[DiderotsGhost]

More importantly, we are #1 in Defensive Efficiency on FPI. Offense is #16.

We should move up, we have a better win than Ol Miss

Defense still gelling too. NFL dudes all over the field, especially in the front 7. VOLS defense is for real

PFF Grades: Tennessee at Oklahoma | Rocky Top Insider

See the PFF grades from Tennessee football's SEC opening win against Oklahoma on Saturday night in Norman.

www.rockytopinsider.com

Dont’e Thornton (91.3) earned the best grade, Bru McCoy (66), Dylan Sampson (72.9), 24 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown.

Vols went 10 deep on the DL with Daevin Hobbs’ 11 snaps not quite making the list. Tennessee didn’t rotate much a LB Pili (73.8) and Carter (59.9) played the vast majority of reps. Seven of the top 11 defensive players were defensive linemen. Josh Josephs was absolutely fantastic and how about Elijah Simmons making plays?! Speaking of, Jayson Jenkins played just five plays but made the tackle for the safety during it.

One note on Arion Carter, his pass coverage really dragged down his grade. He earned and 81.5 tackling grade and a 91.8 pass rush grade.

I don't know what the metrics say, but I like what I've seen on the secondary thus far.

Much improved over last year. I know a lot of it has to do with the pass rush. Good sign.

Defense does look much improved, but hard to tell when the best offense we've faced is Chattanooga

To my eye, Simmons has had two good games in a row. He bullied the Kent St. center and I thought he played a role in those bad snaps. Happy for him.
