Would beating NC State considered an "Upset?"

[RoaminVol]

I am not in any way calling this an upset victory. Just wanted your input on what other team and ESPN would say. I really don't want ESPN calling this an upset because that would make us a weak team.

No.

for Duke

It sure won't upset me.

[ImportedVoL]

we are favored by 4.. which is extremely low IMO, but still prevents it from being an upset in anyones eyes

Our only "upset" wins this year would be USCe, UGA, and Bama.

Don't forget vandy

Vandy will be stacked this year thanks to Franklin's recruiting. Dooley only brings in 3*s.

Beating ACC teams is expected.

Beating Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, now those would be upsets.
Especially considering what our program has been through the last few years.

Go Vols.

To their fan base maybe

I'm always a bit apprehensive about the season's expectations before it all starts. That being said, I think it would in now way be an upset. I believe we are the better team by far.

Only 13 more days of this crap.

How would it be an upset when we are the favorite and NCST is the underdog?

[MothershipChip]

If you think us beating Cincy last year was an upset, then yes. Otherwise oh hell no, it would just be upsetting if we lose.
