I agree. But there's more than a few people (mostly FF) that have I guess gotten tired of Jones hanging his hat on that. "Mediocre Big 10 teams" or something like that.

So, if we had lost to either Iowa, Northwestern (Top 15 at the time), or Nebraska then what would that say about us? We win, so they must be mediocre. We lost and we lost to mediocre BIG10 teams. We can't help who the conference and committee put us up against. But, fact still remains we won 3 straight bowl games. We haven't won 3 in a row since '94-'97 and two of those teams were BIG10. So, there's that.
Vols also landed 3-star wideout Shocky Jacques-Louis earlier this week. Jacques-Louis bumped up his announcement, wanting to secure his spot in Tennessee’s class. The South Florid native nearly pulled the trigger a month ago but wanted to be sure of his decision on the heels of decommitting from Kentucky. Interestingly, thoughts that Tennessee may be done at receiver appear to be a little premature. The Vols still feel really good about where they are with fellow South Florida receiver Jeshaun Jones. Despite the class’s numbers, Tennessee would gladly take Jones if he wants in. The two sides have had steady dialogue this week, especially after Jacques-Louis, a friend and 7-on-7 teammate of Jones, went public on Monday.
