No, just no. If I had to point to one SEC team that is routinely disappointing in OOC games, that team would be Tennessee. I usually applaud schools for taking on challenging schedules, but taking on tough teams is one thing, winning them is another. If Tennessee has a tough OOC opponent, that matchup invariably ends in a loss for the Vols.

Please note that Tennessee is one of my favorite teams other than LSU, and I genuinely want them to succeed. My dad was born there and rooted for the Vols all his life. I just wish the Vols would wait a bit before playing such challenging schedules, and stop playing over their head until they have the roster to meet such challenges.

This is not a flame, just me venting frustration at overly ambitious scheduling. I'll be rooting for the Vols to beat the Sooners, but I won't be surprised if that game turns out badly in the end.
