re: Why do Tennessee fans think beating Northwestern was such a big deal?

Pretty much. Last year, in their 5 game winning streak to end the regular season, they beat:

5-7 UK
3-9 USCe
1-11 North Texas
5-7 Missouri
4-8 Vandy

Regardless, they handled their business and won the games they were supposed to. I do think they are somewhat overrated with regard to their ranking. I'd like to see them prove they can beat a top team before ranking them in the top 10.

Should definitely be another great UF/UT game this year.
