Would be an upset in SI's view. Although, how can we be favored and they are basically ranked higher than we are? I'm confused.......as usual.

I'd call Florida a minor upset at this point, but that could change if they lay an egg the week before at A&M.

If we are sick of the Vols being viewed as an underdog and loser, how much more so are the players on the roster that have gone through it all? If they are not sick of being viewed that way and losing then it doesn't matter what oddsmakers, football experts or the fans believe.

Here is Sports Illustrated's thoughts on why they ranked them #25 in the country.

Let's take a look at the great Si.com Top 25 poll from last year. These polls are quite the joke. The media is clueless regarding predictions. Any questions,ask a person who does it for a living. lol

Loaded Oklahoma, Oregon*top early 2011 Top 25 Power Rankings - Andy Staples - SI.com

How coaches voted in USA TODAY poll

I posted the final Coach's poll. Who cares what Espn or any of the media outlets say. Remember they don't know s-----------!!!

A win wouldn't be an upset for either team, IMO.

We only have 4 road game for Christ's sakes... And we get our two biggest rivals, Florida and Bama at home... This is the year we should be back and there are no excuses not to be (barring injury). We will beat either Florida or Bama, if not both. We must!

Gators yes. Bama might be a different story.
