re: Frick Tennessee

This game feels so weird. Preseason this was THE game that everybody had highlighted as the one real test. Things obviously played out differently (as they often do) and now this game really has very little impact on the CFB season.

BUT, it’s total Super Bowl mode for Tennessee because they have literally none of their other pre-season goals left to attain.

-Win the East - X
-Beat Alabama again - X
-Make the College Football Playoffs - X

The Georgia game is all they have left.

Then for us, it’s coming at the end of a big 4-game stretch after Florida, Mizzou and Ole Miss and two weeks before the big SECCG showdown with Bama.

Just an uneasy spot to be in. In terms of having the team ready and focused on the game, I’d almost rather have the East on the line.
