Scout.com: 2011 CFN Rankings - Week 6 I like going to CFN to check out their analysis of the college football landscape. LSU #1. Alabama #2, Boise #9, Arkansas #10, Texas A&M #11 (at 2-2), WVU #12, Florida #16, Auburn #19, S Carolina #20, Georgia #21, Tennessee #25 Also check out their thoughts on Missouri to the SEC...

I could get the logic of TAMU at #11, sorta. But they absolutely lose me at Tennessee SNIFFING the top 25. Tennessee averages NEGATIVE yds rushing per game!! They're AWFUL. They lost their best player (Janzen Jackson) before the season, their 2nd best player (Justin Hunter) against UF, and their third best player (not to mention starting QB) (Tyler Bray) against UGA. They're done. If they find their way to 6-6 (after victories against Montana and Buffalo, mind you), Dooley needs to be in contention for COY. They have zero depth on either side of the ball, and 1 starter returned on the entire defense.
When you get that far down in the order, I think an argument can be made for a number of teams. They do have Nebraska at 40... At least they give their argument, though.
