What would you rank Tennessee in the SEC? I peg them in a 4 way tie as 5th best team

I think Georgia, Texas, Bama, Ole Miss. I'd put them in a 4 way tie with LSU, South Carolina, Florida.
I'm talking sheer talent. Some of these teams beat others. Like Tenn beat Bama. But I am talking if each of these teams played each other 100 times on a neutral field this is how I'd rank them.
I just don't think they are elite. In my opinion, it is very hard to be an elite SEC team and not be from Louisiana to South Carolina due to sheer demographics.
UPDATE: Man am I right. The ratio was 1 to 8 downvote. 88.8% are dumber than me.

You do realize Tennessee did beat Alabama?

Yep, read my post again. On a neutral field, play 100 times, Bama beats Tenn more than vice versa. Feel very confident about that.

Same concept as if Bama and Vandy played on a neutral site field 100 times, I have no doubt Bama would win over 51 of them. Yet Vandy beat Bama. The lesser teams beats better teams, that happens quite often.

Exactly why I said Tennessee is a 5th maybe 7th best SEC team. They played 2 good teams. Played Florida when they sucked. There's nothing about them that makes me think they could win this game.
I think Florida and maybe SC beat them today.

Bump again. Told you. Nothing about this team screamed elite to me.

Gonna keep bumping this throughout the game. The original downvote when I posted this pre-game was 1 to 8. Meaning so far, I am smarter than 88.8% of this board. Told ya, told ya, told ya.

Another bump for my pre-game post

TN has at least 3 walkons in the 2 deep. 2 on the oline that played most of the game tonight.

Sounds about right from what I saw tonight.

Sometimes walk ons are good.

Dayne Davis is at most serviceable at tackle. Was a liability tonight and in the Arkansas and Oklahoma games.
It is what is because Heupel won’t fire his buddy Elarbee. They have not developed a single oline recruit. Only lineman that they recruited that has started an an SEC game did so after transferring to Arkansas.

personally I think South Carolina beats them.

Most likely because they wouldn’t be able to block the SC d-line. It would be another lean on Sampson game for UT to have a chance.
