I still do not get how someone comes on the board after their team was thrashed and some how some way figures their team is the favorite heading into next year's game.

It's a new season. Someone who won 10 games in 06, wont even have a winning record. Some team that went 5-7 will win 10 games. Am I 100% positive that Cal will beat UT? Of course not. Doesn't mean I'm not right. Those that think that ONE GAME tells you all you need to know about two programs clearly haven't watched much college football. | |

I should have gone to Cal and learned me some schooling.
So Tennessee with have a catastrophic drop in talent?
Nice!

So the only possible explanation for Cal getting blown out by Tenn is that Tenn has massively superior talent to Cal? Even if the recruiting rankings say otherwise? Or the polls? Your team is the only one allowed to underachieve every once in a while I suppose. . . | |
