USC, Wisconsin,

At first I scoffed at Wisconsin, but their schedule is weak, weak, weak.
But, they do play ND, USC and AT Iowa and AT Penn State. CXoming off a 4-8 record, they will need a lot of breaks to not lose 4 games.

However, they do play Maryland, Purdue, Michigan State, Rutgers, UCLA...6 of the teams they play finished at the very bottom of the B1G. With that schedule, if they lose 3 of those games (ND, USC,Iowa or Penn State) they will not make the playoffs. And they could very well lose 3 of those. 2 are almost certainties.

USC has Oregon, Ohio State and Indiana. Almost certainly 3 losses there. If they stumble in one other game, (And Lincoln Riley typically does stumble at least once) USC will not make it. They are iffy with 3 losses, however, they would be to 3 very good teams, so they might could survive and make it. But one stumble and they are out.

ETA
Wow. I just saw Michigan has Oklahoma, Indiana, Oregon, and Ohio State.
Michigan is iffy, too. However, if they can pull out 1 win out of those they would probably make it. But it will be tough.

Fl. State was cancelled...right?



Musta forgot. I don't pay close attention to games in the future. Odd though...the game in this thread was not showing, but the FSU game still was. :lol:
Well, we all know this can't be right. The Rant said we were only good because we were in the East.

Georgia remains dominant in the SEC even after the league moved away from the divisional format.

Switching them out with Notre Dame or someone like that?

Doubt it. We already have GT and Florida State scheduled.

Seems odd.

We’re not talking about Georgia VS Clemson. We’re talking about Dabo vs Kirby.



Which is like comparing Kalen DeBoer and Brian Kelly, is it not?

Both played for a National Championship and benefitted from playing easy schedules. Both have not done a whole lot since they played for said National Championship. Is Kalen DeBoer... Brian Kelly 2.0?

Dalton Hilliard is one of my all time favorite tigers. Very underrated runningback. Other favorites were Jerry Stovall and George Rice...and of course Bert Jones.

Enjoyed the highlights. :cheers:

It's really Bama and then the rest. From way up here all of you squabbling over second place look pretty indistinguishable from each other.


Well, Oklahoma has 3 more than Alabama so.....

So by your "logic," Georgia will finish in the top 5 eight more times before Tennessee does once, then Georgia will finish in the top 5 eight more times before Tennessee does once, then Georgia will finish in the top 5 eight more times before Tennessee does once, then....Makes perfect sense. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, and always will be.


Not at all. You are using poor logic and misrepresenting what I am saying.

Look. In the last 5 years (The time that Huepel has been at Tennessee, which is your best teams in the last 10-15 years) Tennessee's record is 45-20. Respectable. Georgia is 65-7.

Now. You tell me. Which team do you believe is trending toward a top 5 season?

In the last 5 seasons, Georgia has finished #1, #1,#4, #6 and #6 in the AP poll.
Tennessee has finished UNR, UNR,#6, #19, #9, UNR

Y'all really think Tennessee is closer to being ranked top 5 in the country than Georgia is?


I asked a Vol fan earlier...in your honest opinion, what do you believe Tennessee's record will be this season? I honestly don't know have any idea what you have coming back or your expectations.
I will say, we are expecting a really good year. We have a ton of returning production on both offense and defense. Personally, I will be disappointed if we don't finish top 5 this year.

Out recruiting is getting super lazy when the nerds are out recruiting us right now


They are out recruiting us? I checked and they are ranked #24 with 26 recruits and we are ranked #17 with 17 recruits.

It's awfully early and a lot will change between now and signing day. Some recruits rankings will move up when their senior year starts. Maybe people should sit back and wait instead of hitting the panic button in June. :lol:

My bad forgive me for not knowing Georgias football history


It didn't stop you from commenting on it. Hint: If you comment on something like that, do better research. AI is awful.

That said, it was one of the greatest games I have ever seen. You should either watch the entire game on YouTube, or at the very least watch the link to the highlights. It would be well worth your time. :cheers:

Butch Jones, in my opinion, is the worst coach in TN history.


Derek Dooley was there 3 years and had losing records all three years.

It is $91 million. I have a feeling he was making a general statement. :lol:

This stupid argument that he has never coached in or won a playoff game is dum


How is it dumb? It is a fact. Football is not decided on"Might haves..." or there would never be any upsets. But, upsets happen. Kiffin got Ole Miss there and it is unfortunate how that whole thing played out, but for people to say he has never coached in or won a playoff game is true. :lol:

So it's only a safety or an extra point return, an even slimmer margin.


Uhh...yeah. That's what I said.

We should be able to make that up in *checks your notes* infinity.

Sure, if we don't win anymore. I mean, are Tennessee fans still trying to say that they are trending in the right direction? That Tennessee is more likely to finish top 5 before Georgia? I mean, odds are that sooner or later it will happen, because it has only been 24 years since it last happened. :dunno:

Right on the verge. :lol:

Tennessee COULD do it in two years if you finish top 5 the enxt two years in a row and Georgia is unable to to do it. But since it's been 24 years since you did it last....

Keep in mind Texas was not a program that bought players prior to NIL being an option


This is silly. They all did. Fans may not want to admit it, but all the major teams paid players.

UGA just caught and surpassed TN in this metric in 2021


Which should tell you something about where the teams have been doing the past 30 years or so. I mean seriously. You hanging on to success your team had in the 1930s as proof you are trending in the right direction?

quote:

Given that TN has had two top 10 finishes in the last 4 years I think we are trending up from where we had been.

However when you check out their record in the other seasons you could also argue they are trending downward, couldn't you? Take a look at the records they have had under Huepel and tell me you feel good going forward. Huepel has been there for 5 years. I guess this year will tell us where your team is headed. Out of curiosity...what do you predict UT's record will be? (Honest question, I have no idea how y'all are looking)

quote:

Now the answer is UGA.

Then you should understand what I was saying when I told the other Vol poster that saying it is "only" a FG behind us downplays how far away 3 top 5 finishes actually is.

For the record, I went back to check and unless i missed some thing it looks like Georgia is only 2 top 5 finishes ahead of Tennessee. I find it to be 15-13. Looks like AI may have checked, or i missed one somewhere. Both are very good programs. All of the ranking teams is dumb, imo.

I get where you're trying to go

Trying to go? In the last 5 years we have won two National Championships. :lol:

quote:

better direction than Tennessee but at this point with NIL who even knows,

Do you believe in the last 5 years Tennessee is trending upward, or downward?

quote:

texas tech is a great team now

Texas Tech finished 7th in the country last year. Good, but not great.
Tennessee finished 9th in 2024 and unranked in 2025.

So basically yall just caught and surpassed us?


Well, if you are talking about the last 24 seasons, then yes.

quote:

AP poll has been around since the 1930s and it took 80 years for yall to pass us in this metric

Fair point. Now which direction are the schools going in? Is Tennessee more likely to put up a string of top 5 finishes or is Georgia?
quote:

I don't think Georgia is a heavy portal team and they're going to be really good imo.


You are correct that we are not a heavy portal team.

1offensive player transferred in this season. Canion at WR from GT.
Last year we had London Humphries transfer in and is still with us.

2 starters on defense transferred in this year. So this year we have three total. (4 counting one from the year before)
