I think so as well. There's a very real chance that Auburn misses a bowl after looking at the rest of their schedule and Georgia is in complete disarray on offense without Chubb.
On the flip side, Tennessee could very easily finish 5-1 which would mean an 8-4 season. I know that's not what a lot of us expected myself included and it could've been even better without the collapses but looking at the big picture, it's a 2 game improvement over last season. Tennessee will likely be a preseason top 10 team next year if we finish like we should.
Did the decision to delay come after he met with Craig from auburn?
Yeah no chance we are preseason top 10 next year unless we win out, including a nice bowl appearance. Top 20 though, most likely if we go 8-4.
Why not? We would be a 9 win team that closed out the season very strongly and is not only returning almost everyone, but the young players will have a little experience under their belt.
That finish would put us somewhere around #12-#8 preseason.
We would be coming off a bowl win against Duke or somebody of that ilk, which isn't really going to impress voters that much. It'd put us in the top 20, but we wouldn't start in the top 10. I'd say somewhere around #15 at best.
Just look at this year. We had a talented team coming off a strong finish last year with a ton of preseason hype and we were #25. There are a lot of other teams out there returning players that are going to win more than 9 games this year.
Haha man I'm so confused! So he's delaying it to the end of the year or just anot her week or so?

Well, as far as a victory over Duke not being impressive is concerned, a lot of people said the same thing last year after we beat the daylights out of Iowa. But, I would say that at this point, some might be reconsidering how strong that Iowa teams was that we dismantled.
As far as where we are ranked preseason, that is about as meaningless a stat as any I am aware of. All it is, is a bragging point for fans.
This goes to show people that nobody knows. No disrespect you you burnin but every place says something different.Kyle is truly torn from what I am hearing. Also him delaying his announcement is a good sign for us. CBJ and staff are pushing very hard and we are selling him to come and be a part of something special. His dad loves Tennessee and CBJ as has been stated in this thread.
I dont have any clue when he will announce but I do know we are not running third in this race.
