Probably also worth noting that 5 of those 12 losses came against Bama and UGA. Both have coaches that had built dynasties with top tier talent in place before Heupel got to UT. Kirby didn't have to play two teams on that level every year. Heupel needed time to build he roster up from the...

College Football News had Virginia ranked 65th in their preseason rankings. Their over/under for wins was set at 5.5. They aren't great, but they also aren't the worst P5 team in the nation. For reference, Vandy and Indiana were both ranked below them in those same rankings. Also worth noting...

Another basketball chant that was used at least in the late 90's: "Around the bowl and in the hole Let's go Peay!"

"is pot distilled from 100% corn" Missed opportunity: It should be sold in a jar.

Depends on which AR shows up. If he plays like he did against UT, then I think Florida wins. If he plays like the USF game, LSU. Overall, I would pick UF in a close one

It was Ga Tech's first game with the interim HC after firing the HC on 9/25. Sometimes that actually let's players play loose and they can play their best ball. Not that they are top 25 worthy now or anything, but that first game after a firing can be dangerous because it can catch the...

He did the opposite with UT vs Florida and picked UT in the preview and UF in the "expert picks". It's just pathetic to pick both in close games like that. Especially multiple times in as many weeks.

I think this is accurate. He went high-risk, high-reward all day. He had to know it increased his chances of getting blown out, but he thought it gave them their best chance to win. How often do you go 5/6 on 4th down regardless of yardage? How often does a long pass on 4th and short actually...

I was coming into this thread to post this same image. I get that you can call holding on lots of plays, and refs have to make judgement calls, but this was ridiculous. Especially when you consider the one holding they did call on TN on what would've been a TD run earlier in the game. The fact...

He didn't pick UT. Not sure how it works, but their in-depth game breakdown picked TN while 2/4 CFN writers picked UF.

UK won't be a pushover, but I did find something interesting on ESPN last night. At the moment, FPI gives UT a better chance to beat Bama than they give UK to beat UT. We can hope...

I moved my family to Murrels Inlet (just south of Myrtle Beach) to take a job at CCU this year. We evacuated back to east TN, and we really appreciate the offer and the distraction. I plan to bring my son and attend.

First year for most coaches doesn't reflect overall success. That is true. Installing new systems and a new attitude causes growing pains. Saban went 6-6 his first year at Bama, Smart went 7-5. I think a fair expectation should be 6-7 wins with at least one coming over a team where UT is the...

Current credentials: A&M Most upside: UT or UF
