Tennessee is a good team, but they have a very difficult schedule.

Tennessee has to play LSU, Kentucky, Bama, and UGA. I think they go 2-2 in those games and don’t necessarily lose to who you think. It’s possible that they could beat Bama or UGA (but I doubt both). I’m still not sure if Tennessee matches up well with us or not, but I’m glad the game is in Athens. I anticipate a high scoring game. Something like 38-35.

#1 vs. #2 undefeated matchup to decide the east in November.

Or not.

I remain unconvinced. They beat a first year HC, of a team that had already lost, at home. This team also has a young QB who until yesterday had more tackles than he did passing TDs. He had a career day. They gave up a huge lead and the game was in question until the last play.

Not saying they are a bad team, but good team to me implies top 20 and I’m still not sure they will be there by years end.

That's a pretty bad take. They aren't elite, but they are very good.

We are not beating Bama or UGA unless they have a turnover meltdown. Their defenses can stop our offense. We aren't stopping anyone defensively.

A win over UK at Home is Probable.
A win in Baton Rouge is Doable.

Get those and we are a Sugar Bowl team at 10-2
Drop one and we are a Citrus Bowl team at 9-3

TN defense just gave up over 600 yds to a team with now one passing TD on the year.

Pump the breaks on calling them a good team. They need to find a defense before they travel to BR.

They’re a better team than recent years

Yesterday was a very revealing game for UGA. Our defense is talented but young. I don’t blame them for what happened in the first half. Kent St benefitted from multiple turnovers in the first half. But in the second half they continued to move the ball against our D. Our offense is good and Bowers is our best player. We have to get him the ball as much as possible.

Tennner is a very good team, and UGA needs to respect that.

Heupel is legit one of the best offensive minds in college football.

He has a very average and thin roster playing way above their rankings on the offensive side of the ball.

But they have huge question marks on defense that will take a few years to fix, if he can.

They’ll continue to get into shootouts. They’ll win a bunch but also lose several to teams that can keep up and play even a bit of defense.

They’re basically like a poor man’s Oklahoma under Lincoln Riley right now.

No reason to believe they will not beat both. Vols just own Kentucky, and LSU is not impressive.

Experts all rate him very highly. Guys who know much more than me and you and who do it for a living.

He stands in the pocket and delivers strikes. That's for sure.

TN eked out a home win over what's looking like the worst FL team in forty years. And by TN standards that actually is impressive.

Yep. LSU is struggling mightily. Don’t watch our games it’s not worth the effort. Offense is going backwards and defense is getting torched.

Really, it’s happening!
