Not at all, we have many super bowls every year. At least I have heard a few fan bases say we do.

Are you saying Butch Jones has an advantage?

How many 4th quarter leads did you guys blow last year?

We beat Bama, UF, and UGA(again) and pull the modest upset over LSU in the SECCG. LSU's slight talent advantage will be completely negated by Tennessee's coaching advantage.


So a coach that has never even won his own division is a better coach than a guy who has won a national championship, went to another, 2 SEC championships, and 3 division championships? That makes sense continue on.

He's gonna be the 3rd coming of PP/Serr, except he actually posts in threads.

His posting is just blind homerism. Like when he said Hurd > LF/Chubb. Everyone who realistically watches football knows that's false.

I never understood why this was funny or hard to understand. We lost like 16 SEC games in a row. We were so bad and desperate for a SEC win at the time. We would of stormed the field against Vandy.

they stormed it against ole miss.

they carried les off the field after beating the ags. of course, that was back when les was fired and jimbo was going to be their coach.

this year our guys probably won't even bother to carry it off since it's old hat.

The longer the season goes on, FPI seems to be very accurate. I think ESPN put together a very good system in FPI.

But its a bit harder to take serious when there have been no games played.



Considering their formula is based on actual performance on the field that season...

The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.

I didn't post anything that was unreasonable. According to the ESPN list in the very first post we are second to LSU, so according to that its not unreasonable. It's not like I said Ole Miss would win it.

And I say that Butch Jones is a better coach than Les Miles. Two months ago Les was all but shite canned. We gave Butch a raise to show our appreciation and hopefully locked him up for years because you can bet your arse someone is coming try to hire him next year. No one is trying to hire Les Miles away from LSU.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Butch Jones is improving by leaps and bounds why less seems senile now. Yes, Butch Jones is right now a better coach than Les Miles and this year he gets to prove it.
