re: Is Tennessee the best one-loss team in the country?

More on Tennessee:

They almost lost to an Ohio team that barely beat a Bowling Green team that had lost to Memphis by 70 points.

They almost lost to a Georgia team that was down 45-0 to Ole Miss before OM put in the walk-ons.

They almost lost to an App State team that almost lost to a crappy Akron team that lost to Wisconsin by 44 points.

The jury is still out on Virginia Tech. It looks like they somehow drew the easiest possible ACC schedule this year so their record will stay inflated.


So all of Tennessee's lucky barely "wins" involve teams that are not too far removed from getting really blown out or almost lost to teams that have been hugely blown out.
