Week 2 of the 2026 college football season has concluded. Following Week 2, the latest US LBM Coaches Poll was released.
Tennessee (2-0) is up four spots and ranked No. 14. The Vols defeated Georgia Tech (0-2), 45-24, in Week 2 at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
"End of the day, you can look around the country and understand that every week's its own entity, its own week," Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said after winning at Georgia Tech. "Proud of our team to come here get a win, play the way that we needed to, ultimately to end up on the right side of the scoreboard.
"You know, obviously, there's bunch of things to clean up, special teams early. Offensively, some of the penalties that changed the way the game's played. You know, defensively,
a lot of really solid things and then second half not up to the standard, and certainly the fourth quarter penalties just not very good, so that's multiple phases of the game. Disappointed in that, but I've also learned and understand that you better appreciate every win too."
