Truthfully, I don't expect a blowout, but at least a 10 point victory for UT |

| It should have been worse last year.
And about the respect, it isn't handed out. You have to earn it first. |

So in your opinion is there a 0% chance that tenn could lose to Cal and still be near the top in the SEC by the end of the season? You couldn't be very unlucky? Or maybe your oline and WRs aren't going full speed by the first game. . . |

Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, LSU, and maybe Auburn too all have a better shot to win the SEC. If we can't beat you, what makes you think we could beat the first four teams who are all better than you, 3 of who are on our own side of the division. If we don't win in your hut, we have no chance at beating UF in Gainesiville a couple weeks later. |

or
b) with you inexperience at certain positions maybe you improve considerably from the first game of the season to the 4th or 5th. edit: happens all the time btw. Besides last year when's the last top ranked opponent you have had in the first game of the season? |
