Tennessee has some nice football characteristics.

Passing game is still too iffy for the playoffs

Tennessee is why I love an expanded playoff. Teams can find themselves early in the season and catch fire.
It's definitely a silver lining. Might well embrace the madness in March feel we're about to be getting.

Another thing about Tennessee:

They're officially louder than woke LSU now.

I'm not throwing any shade on UTK. They're a good, solid football team.

They also have a very tough row to hoe. Has aTm given up completely? If they haven't, they're going to get someone, either UTK or Texas. Plus, they also have a weird LSU team. It's not done for them yet.

UTK is good. Very good. But, if you can get a lead on them, they're not built for a shootout. Turnovers matter, and if UTK is off, they can absolutely lose to aTm or LSU, even though I think that they're better than both.

You are correct sir; I read that ESPN block that lists odds way too fast.

It certainly implies that Tennessee opened as a nearly 10 point underdog; that has to be a typo.

They are, but they are undisciplined. Their fans excuse it as "refs shouldnt throw penalties" but if they were disciplined they would have atleast one less loss

Vols must win out. Still has paths for SECCG appearance. Dominated Alabama, lest anyone forgets.

Getting a Utah, BYU, Wake, UCLA, Indiana, or Houston first round in Neyland would be wonderful.

But we got a big game at TA&M to worry about first.

We win out we look the part. We lose another we look the fool. That is the price you pay for losing to shane beamer.

The fact that you of all people write this after last werk UK was the metric you used to support Bama being 8 spots ahead Tennessee is hilarious

No one switches up their stance like you



Resume/season rankings vs power rankings.

Learn the difference.

You can smell the fear.

UT has a top defense again. And will for the foreseeable future.

The next decade belongs to Tennessee. Only Georgia will have a chance to stand against the wave. LSU and Bamela need not apply. They're scrubs.

Yeah, it's definitely the Bama fans that are delusional.. UTn crapping the bed away from Knoxville has nothing to do with how the Vols are viewed. They should only be judged by the UK and Bama games at Neyland, and then only by examining the final score. Spot on.

No disrespect to Kentucky but lets be honest, they over achieved and they aren't the kind of team that has playoff quality players.


I view this as SEC vs non SEC playoff teams. Vanderbilt at 10-2 was legit and deserved a shot. If Kentucky finishes 10-2 they should also deserve a shot. However, not being a football name, and being in the SEC will knock them out.

It will be a battle of the fatties this week.

If Fat Huepel loses to Fat Elko he should seriously consider leaving the profession.

If you don't think Tennessee is likely to be an underdog against LSU, then it's just your delusion.

I hope they win out. I love teams like that who overachieve and win big games they aren't supposed to.

I think it says a lot about putting the effort and work in vs just being talented and getting by on talent.

Has aTm given up completely?


TAMU is definitely the bigger concern. They could for sure pull off the upset, theyre capable. But LSU at home? Pffft.

We had SC at their place. LoserSU has to come to the House of Horrors. Those two are not the same. Mmmkay:?

LSU and Tennessee have roughly the same odds to make the playoffs.

Tennessee's are just slightly better.
