I would say Tennessee has a significantly better chance of winning the East than the Gators.

Could have a shot? Sure.

If you lose you still have a shot considering where the east is right now. If you lose you'll probably need to sweep USCe and UGA, but they are not far enough ahead of UT or UF for that not to be possible. The winner is in the mix with a split against USCe and UGA.

Definitely got a shot if defense gets comfortable and offense is as good as it sounds.

Yea I think we beat Florida, but if we lose two SEC games this year we will need help from Some other teams. We either have to beat Georgia and have USCe beat them as well. It will be tough to do with UGA's schedule. But because of their schedule we will probably have to win 10 or 11 to stay relevant in the EAST title chase.

It's a given, the winner of this game has a SHOT at winning the east. Can't believe this is even an article lol.

Although the Florida game is important as far as winning the east, I think the Georgia game is even more important. UGA plays a really weak schedule, and If we lose the head to head with them, they will likely win the east. We still have to play Bama and they don't. We lose to them and Bama, then they would have to lose 3 games since they won the head to head. Not gonna happen with that easy schedule.

I'm ready to be the FAVORITE to win the East and SEC again. I'm sick of being the "surprise team" or the "dark horse" team.

DL916, can you edit your post to change the size of the pic? It absolutely hoses the site.
