Tennessee's FPI Outlook and Tough Schedule | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

College football’s off to a wild start, with ESPN’s Football Power Index revealing Tennessee at No. 15—projected for seven wins, a 3% shot at the conference title, and a 21% chance of making the playoff. While aligned with AP polls, the FPI is slightly bullish on the Vols compared to other rankings. Top spots go to Ohio State, Texas, Notre Dame, Oregon, and Georgia. Tennessee’s schedule? Brutal: four top-11 matchups plus Auburn and South Carolina. Week zero results skewed projections—TCU and USC underwhelmed, Florida State looks shaky, but Virginia impressed. These early FPI numbers set the stage for a season full of surprises. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
