Wrong. The question that was proposed was CAN we win a championship. There's a world of difference between asking if you "can" win a championship as opposed to asking if you "will" win a championship.
I guarantee you fans of teams like Florida, Southern Cal, Georgia,Ohio State, Oklahoma, etc are not asking themselves if they CAN win a championship. They know they can. They don't question whether their team is good enough. They know they have the talent, depth, coaching, etc to win. For them it's a question of will they win it. All I'm saying is that we're still questioning ourselves.
Now I'm not saying that Tennessee cannot win a NC because we're questioning it. I'm saying that the mere fact that we are questioning it is because we have doubts about our team's ability. There's a reason we are questioning it. Perhaps the question should've been asked, WILL we win a NC. Of course this team could stun all of us and win a NC. However if say, Southern Cal wins the NC will it really surprise anyone? No, of course not. That's the difference between being good and being elite.
