SEC Week 4 game picks: Who will step up as Alabama's top challenger? - SEC Blog- ESPN

 

[TheMookieMonster]

You should have seen this coming.

11 years in a row, we haven't played well to start the season, we have choked in the 4th quarter two straight years. It would surprise me if they didn't pick the Gators. We have to beat them to get respect.

 

[YankeeVol]

Zero reason to pick Tennessee.

 

[bignewt]

thread fail

 

[lawgator1]

They pick you, they are brilliant.

They pick against you, they are idiots.

Simple formula.

 

[BearCat204]

How is that disrespect?

 

[CAVPUT]

Respect is earned. What has UT done to warrant being picked this Saturday? 11 year history and three games this season......rhetorical.

But still, they were the ones that hyped us

I'm with lawgator lol. As much faith as I have in this team...Outside looking in? If you DONT pick the Gatahs...You are seeing through orange tinted glasses. With that being said...My eyes only see orange babayyy!

For how much they've hyped us, it's a little odd only one picks us

True looking at UT. But UF's O has hardly been world beaters playing some pretty bad teams. Their D has been lights out against teams that total 2 wins out of 8 FBS contests.

UT has played poorly.... but UF has looked better primarily because of competition.

That "hype" which most everyone had for this team, went out the window somewhere around the 3rd quarter of the Ohio game.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Earn the respect by winning the game.

Correct. They hyped us up. And honestly, with the talent and experience we have there was no reason not to. Maybe #9 was a stretch, but #12-#13 would have been more than reasonable. Now, we have failed to look good all season long so they are naturally reverting to picking against us. It's not a novel concept. If we actually start to play like people expected us to then they will revert to picking us again.

 

[BearCat204]

I think we win Saturday, but honestly I don't know how you could blame anyone outside of Tennessee that would pick UF.

no, it went out the window the second Dobbs fumbled in OT against App st. we dropped 8 spots in the polls.

pre season hype is awesome. it's "paid off" so well the last two years.

And Tennessee repaid that free publicity by struggling to beat two garbage teams and needing a VT meltdown...

Yeah, that's what the hype is all about...

I meant App State.......cant keep up with our poor performances against subpar teams..........

 

[Otis07]

opinions vary, ESPN doesn't make you an expert.....Nobody picked Louisville last week either
