When I first started watching college football in the 90s we had a series lead vs Auburn, Uga, & UF.
I don't know why, but I took a bunch of pride in that.
Well y'all are in the playoff if you win email all. But if you stub your toe a big win over VOLS will be good for resume, if........... VOLS actually can win some games to make it relevant for you.
My support has nothing to do with making the playoff, etc. It stems from the respect I gained for the program and it's fans this season. Many Sooner fans feel the same way and are pulling for the Vols to beat the dogs.
