Who gives a shite what EA sports says? They have a job to do and a deadline and criteria to meet. Based on how they are ranking it’s no surprise that TN is considered a tier 2 football team.
Everyone that even kinda knows CFB understands that TN football is finally on the rise again. CJH has the offense rolling and Nico certainly looks like he will bring back that magic. That mixed with more talent across the field has things looking better than they have in awhile.
Nothing wrong with being considered tier 2. Hell, it just makes it that much sweeter when you beat someone’s a$$ that you weren’t supposed to. Hopefully that a$$ isn’t my bulldog’s a$$, but even if it is, it will make for great games in the future!
