If so, then we'd finish no worse than second in the Big 10. In fact, I highly doubt there's a team in the Big 10 who's 15 pts better than Illinois right now. |

And in that case, Davidson (Purdue thumped 'em) and Oklahoma (lost a close game in overtime) and perhaps the entire Big 10 conference are viciously overrated as well. |

With the exception of a healthy Michigan State, there's not a team within screaming distance of the top 15. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

I erred in including Ga Tech, Maryland and Baylor originally, and now I would include FSU and Miami.
Judging by what they've done the first 20+ games of the season, UT certainly would finish worse than 4th in the Big 12, ACC and Big 10.
And if their recent performance isn't the worst they can do, then they'd finish even lower.
Also, a ? for Dickens - how laughable is the notion that Clemson would finish higher than UT? |
