Worth reading 2.11.19: Vols No. 21 in early 2019 S&P+ rankings

If you read only one thing about the Vols today . . .

. . . make it this, from SB Nation’s Bill Connelly:

Okay, so this preliminary list has Tennessee at No. 21, which will likely come as a surprise. Follow the link, because there’s an entire section devoted to Tennessee’s rankiing. The nutshell version is that the Vols played a ton of young guys last year and therefore have one of the best “returning production” numbers, plus they had a very good recruiting class.

Temper all of that, though, by noting that a No. 21 overall ranking is still fifth in the SEC East behind Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Missouri. Sheesh.
