I, as a Tennessee fan, wouldn't even bother to do that for my own team, let alone your team. When you think about it, your obsession is beyond pathetic.
It surely is odd, isn't it?
It is nice to engender so much envy.

For some reason everyone on this website is pissed at us because every college football outlet is rabking us high. I dont get what the hell we did? Was northwestern iver ranked? Possibly, wouls beating them 90 - 0 have satisfied the rant? Florida is the favorite on here by akot of fans, how is us throttling noethwestern not good for us but florida getting butt raped by michigan good?
They have this thing now called proof reading.
But your point about UF - They don't even have a QB that has taken a snap in the SEC, is that correct?
Whence the hype - or if you like, why aren't they being hyped as overrated?
UF pretty much collapsed last year. And two QB's who -could- be playing for McElwain departed.
To make the Gator motif, thereby hangs a tail.

The entire point of this thread is that Northwestern wasn't actually the #12 team in the nation.
they actually were the #12 team in the nation, though

but the preseason hype for Tennessee has reached unreal levels,
how so? because they're favored to win a weak SEC East after a 9-4 season and return most of their starters? There are far more people asking why Tennessee is overrated than there are people expecting Tennessee do more than be the favorites in their division, which is totally reasonable

Don't bring logic and a fully functioning brain into this

They beat the #12 team in the nation 45-6 to finish the season on a 6 game winning streak. They return a lot of players including the one at the most important position.
Yeah brutal 6 game stretch for that 6 game winning streak:
Mizzou 5-7 (1-7 SEC)
South Carolina 3-9 (1-7 SEC)
North Texas 1-11 (1-7 CUSA)
Kentucky 5-7 (2-6 SEC)
Vandy 4-8 (2-6 SEC)
*Northwestern 10-3 (6-2 BIG)
*Northwestern did not play Ohio St. OR Michigan St.
*Northwestern also lost to the 2 other best BIG 10 teams, Michigan and Iowa, by a combined score of 78-10
Tennessee finished with a 4 game SEC winning streak by beating teams that were a combined 17-31 overall and 6-26 in the SEC.

So you're knocking Tennessee because they won games they were supposed to win?
