You are mistaken.
Everyone knows what will be in these threads. Everyone knows what PhatPhil does better than anyone else.
I see a lot of people offering ban bets... you'd have to be an idiot not to see that those particular people are rustled.

They will lose to Oklahoma,theyre run game brutal,ditto with UGA,Bama a toss up they suck vs mobile qbs. Arkansas can still beat them,if Willams wasnt hurt Id say a loss another dominate run team.Run teams keep your offense off field and mess with your mojo in uptempo offense.Defense has shiny pieces but several spots fall off in the twos and threes.O line problamatic and why is Dobbs so great last year in six starts 9 td,6 ints...lets compare that to Jeremy Johnson with a start and a full game,then a start and played till half and one game played 3 qtrs...9 tds 2 ints.Do Tenn fans hang hat on Dobbs cuz of Bama when they let off the gas ? I rewatched Carolina game he is horrible,just had recievers to catch high balls and underthrown balls.He gets praised while Nick Marshall got jeered for it,he doesnt have Marshalls legs or agility either. They will be 10-2 or 8-4 only cuz in east If they had Bamas schedule theyd lose 5 games in west,lose to Georgia,Wisconsin and go 5-7.Alabama plays a mans schedule and Im an Auburn fan.

I'm sure losing their 4 year starting QB, 2nd best rusher, their 3 leading WRs, and more than half of their defense, along with losing all continuity in their coach and his staff...had nothing to do with the fall off after 2009

So... I'm not gonna read the explanation for the points, I'm just gonna fill in what they should say.
You have played Vanderbilt and Kentucky twice under Butch. That's 4 guaranteed conference wins in the last 2 seasons. Y'all only have 5.
Experience is better than youth.
He's 4-2 in his 6 starts, but those 4 teams all sucked, and the 2 two teams he lost to were meh.
He got dominated by Oklahoma and lost to Florida last year. The Oklahoma score was 34-10, but outside of one drive in the second quarter, Tennessee looked completely incompetent. OU should have won by 50, but they let off the gas. The Florida loss was just disgusting. Good coaches don't lose that game.

First off. There is no such thing as a CFB Playoff. Football is one word , it's the College Football Playoff or CFP for short.
But if you think you'll be in the CFB playoff , that's wonderful congrats! What is it?

One of the "meh" teams you are referring to beat you 59-0 and won the SEC, the other won the East. Of the other 4, they are all P5, so he didn't get to pad his stats against teams like ULM, Rice, and Lamar

3 plays accounted for 28 point swing in that game in OU's favor, but yeah.

Um. What? How does that make y'all not suck even more?
Posted on 8/20/15 at 4:39 pm to TeLeFaWx
A fumble in the redzone, and 2 picks in the endzone (including a pick 6) means that without those 3 plays, the game would have been much closer. It doesn't make us suck less or change the result. But it does mean take out those boneheaded plays and this game was much closer

Tennessee Volunteers Are Guaranteed To Make The CFB Playoff

The Tennessee Volunteers are one of the favorites to win the SEC East in 2015, which would/will put them in prime position to make the College Football Playoff. We're not just confident that they will make the CFP. We're banking on it. Here are four reaons why the Vols are guaranteed to make the College Football Playoff this season:
4) Lackluster SEC East
Missouri's sealed the division two years for two years running. That's easy with Georgia is stuck in a never-ending string of underachievement and South Carolina continuing to paper over what has been a dreadful defense with iffy recruits. There's no breakaway threat to run the table in the division, except for the Vols. Tennessee has the biggest boom/bust potential, not only of any team in the SEC East, but of any team in the entire nation. With a couple breaks here and there and a couple massive performances from head coach Butch Jones' cache of blue chip recruits, the Vols will have the whole nation getting in on the "Rocky Top" vibe.
3) Abundance of young defensive talent
The Vols ranked near the bottom of the SEC in total defense in 2014, giving up a gut-punching 360 yards per game. However, a lot of that had to do with the overwhelming amount of first- and second-year players on the unit. Growing pains are to be expected, but the time is now for last year's lessons to become this year's advancement. With almost every single starter and contributor returning, Tennessee's defense will have continuity on its side in 2015.
Plus there's the X-factor -- true freshman defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie. McKenzie has been an off-the-pavement semi-truck in summer practices, using scary speed and dynamite-level explosiveness to bury his own teammates in the turf. Imagine what he'll do to opposing SEC offensive linemen...
quote:
2) The Heisman potential of Josh Dobbs
Dobbs led Tennessee to a 4-2 record over the last six games of the 2014 season, passing for 1,206 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for 469 yards and eight scores. He needs to improve his decision-making on the run, but his athleticism and arm talent are enough to put him on the list as a dark horse Heisman candidate. Tennessee's SEC and College Football Playoff hopes hinge on his progression under center. That's a good thing -- Dobbs has the makeup, work ethic and pure ability to reward the coaching staff's trust with a banner year.
1) Butch Jones, Butch Jones, and more Butch Jones
“Everything we do starts with our culture, and we want to have a program full of like-minded people,” Jones said recently. “We want people who share the same goals, dreams, aspirations. We want people who want to be elite in everything they do, who compete every day against themselves, who constantly push themselves to make themselves better each and every day at everything they do. That’s what life is all about."
Whether it's the instillation of "Fourth and One" classes to school his players on how to balance being both good men and good players, his willingness to accept blame while continuing to press forward, or his ability to bring an entire program and fan base together with a unique mixture of charisma and integrity, Jones IS Tennessee. And because he's such a fantastic fit, great players want to play for him and play HARD when they get to Knoxville. If there's one coach in the FBS who is ready to take the great postseason leap right now (and has the tools to do so), it's Jones.
