Some teams win championships. Others just talk.

I don't get the LSU love to be honest. I know we return a lot, but we also return a lot that just got their dick beat into the dirt in the 3 games that matter in '15.

My guess is they saw a 10 top win top 15 team this season

that returns almost all of its starters

That plays 2 of the 3 teams it lost to this season at home next season

That should be enough to bolster you into the top 10

Just a matter of if harris improves or not with a full season under his belt

of course the entire idea of a preseason poll is based on assumptions whether legitimate or not

1-17 against Alabama, Georgia, and Florida in your last 18 tries, but you think preseason #6-8 in the country is realistic.

Hell we've won 4 nattys since y'all won the division. Good luck

How much does OM lose? It seems a little low to me.

Good call, the UT team this year will be the same as those teams in the past.

I'm not sure what that record encompassing the past 6 years has to do with the year 2016. When will people realize this? Tennessee lost 4 games by fewer than 20 points combined, and they return basically their entire team. Looking at this year's team and only this year's team and then evaluating what they return compared to what others return as well as their 2016 schedule, yes it makes sense to rank them top 10 preseason.

No man, life is good. It's just tough watching y'all get your hopes up every off-season.

Like if you read this projection, you might think y'all have a better team than Ole Miss or Arkansas. But I think we all know better

why is it tough for an Alabama fan to see Tennessee go 9-4?

what preseason hype did they fail to live up to this past year? I mean since you think past seasons matter to next season. Most people projected an 8 or 9 win regular season for Tennessee going into this year. And that's exactly where they ended up.

I agree but not #3. I think LSU is more 7-9 range.

I believe in Harris, but I just don't see how anyone could trust Les with his ability to develop a quarterback. Since Flynn (9 years ago) he's had 1 good QB. Not to mention it was JUCO transfer who was playing with Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry, Jeremy Hill, La'el Collins, Trai Turner and Jerald Hawkins.
