If Georgia does, then Tennessee certainly does.

If you're gonna subtract the wins against the lesser East teams and non-P5 teams, then you gotta subtract those games from the total games played. We didn't play 112 total games against teams that weren't in the subtracted categories, we played 65 games, as you just said


My main point was that UT scheduled and suited up to play in 112 games since 2008. Out of those 112 games, only 10 of them were wins against P5 schools not named Kentucky, Vandy, South Carolina or Missouri.

All the itemized records went through this season - except against the other Big 6 teams. Apparently, you wanted to show a zero win percentage, so you ended that stat at 2014 instead of 2016 because we beat Florida and Georgia this season


Look a little bit harder and maybe you'll see it this time. I included the winless stretch from 2010-2014, but I put the record from 2008-2016 first. 4-28 vs other big 6 teams with two of those wins coming from this season. You do the math, if I had left 2016 off, it would've read

2008-2015: 2-27

quote:

Record vs the 5 other Big 6 teams:
2008-2016: (4-28) -- Win percentage: 12.5%
2010-2014: (0-18) -- Win percentage: 0.0%

Taking 4/6 division opponents out of the equation sure is a wise play on your part.


Next you should do P5 teams not named Alabama, probably be even better

Damn, 55 losses. That's a lot of losses to have to watch in just 9 years for a Big 6 school.

The 10 wins against P5 schools outside of the Fantastic 4 in the east werent exactly exciting either...

Mississippi State(2008), Georgia(2009,2015,2016), Ole Miss(2010), NC State(2012), Iowa(2014), Northwestern(2015), Florida(2016), Virgina Tech(2016).

Those are without a doubt your 10 best wins since 2008.

Sure, we are 1-2 and lost both games to South Carolina's best 2 teams under spurrier. One of those 2 losses was a last second TD to Alshon in the back of the end zone against our 5-9 corner while our Thorpe award winner J Banks was covering yalls #2.

Only SEC East team we have a losing record to since 08. Do we play next year? Fitz gonna go in dry again

That's not saying much.

OP must have some time on his hands. I couldn't imagine wasting my time researching a team in an opposite division that we never play.

Keep gobbling dem Big Orange Nuts, OP

You are a state fan, what is it that you are trying to accomplish, feel better about yourself?

Yes!, we have had a horrible team for the last decade, what does it matter to you?

We have a chance to win 9 games two years in a row. So I wouldn't call it a decade, more like 2008-2014.

The Mississippi schools would take 9 wins in a season every season if they could get it. It would be better than 85% of their seasons.

For example, Miss St has only won 9 games or more 7 seasons in its ENTIRE history
