Following Tennessee’s 49-13 win over Virginia on Saturday, the Volunteers are up to No. 9 in the latest Coaches Poll. Josh Heupel’s year three team was far from perfect against the Cavaliers, but their physicality eventually took over late in the second quarter. Jaylen Wright and the rushing attack capped it off, moving Tennessee to 1-0 on the year.

Georgia held on to the top spot, followed by Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State and Florida State. The Seminoles were big winners in week one, thrashing LSU and making an early statement in the race for the College Football Playoff.
