Kind of hard to hurt the SEC reputation when everyone already knew UT was bad. OU beating Alabama was much more damaging.

Nope -- everybody knows its just UTk -- no hit to the SEC prestige. Sort of like beating Vandy

See Oregon in the past and why folks were surprised when the Ducks dropped 2. Part was Duck inflation for beating an SEC school, not THE SEC school. Oklahoma should be primed for a similar fall this season, maybe to somebody like Texas Tech, Texas, or West Virginia.

Tennessee is the second worst team in the SEC. No shame in them losing to the best of the Big 12.

Was really wishing that they would have given OU more of a fight. Guess they are just not there yet. OU is my new USCw.

Nope....I think OU is overrated after that game. WV will beat them this week.

The team that was unanimously picked to finish dead last in the West just went to Lubbock and broke their foot off in Techs arse. I think it's safe to say the SEC's rep is just fine.

Not sure they are overrated, but they are usually good for a conference loss. Schedule in there favor. Tougher games at home. WVU in Morgantown MIGHT be a let down game. Hope so.

Tennessee is very bad and has been for 10 years.

That was friggin' amazing, and then I realized we have to go to Fayetville to play them. Long way to go.

Probably not much in the long run, but ESPN has been all day raving about how BGB "made another statement" against the SEC, running his career record vs. the SEC to 5-4. It's weird how the consensus favorite (or at least co-favorite) of the Big XII winning at home over a bottom-tier SEC team somehow makes a statement, but a bottom-tier SEC team winning on the road against a mid-tier Big XII team apparently doesn't mean as much.

100 yd int for td and the fumble recovery that wasn't allowed late in 1st half is a 17-21 pt swing.

ESPN gotta promote playoff contenders. It's all about the Playoffs. Arky butt-kicking TT getting NO talk at all. Typical.

Watched the game yesterday and it could have been closer. Some terrible play calling on the Vols part.
