I agree it would be a way bigger statement to all of college football that Tennessee is really a true powerhouse again. winning these games at Neyland is nice but we have to prove we can win the big games on the road.Ending the streak in Tuscaloosa against at Top 10 Bama would be bigger win than 2022
He needs them drop first. Stop coaching scared and not to lose. If you go down, go down swinging.even if we lose a second game down the road, beating Bama in Tuscaloosa will give us enough street cred to make it into the field.
IMO this is easily the most important win of the year and up to this point one of the most important games of the Josh Heupel era. this is a big nut he needs to crack.
Why not?
We’ve been doing it all season. Florida especially is turnover prone.
OU just threw 3 picks to Texas.
You people just say stuff because a school is a big name without doing any research whatsoever.
Tennessee is a big name too.
A two-loss team never made the 4-team playoff.No, it’s not dumb. It is supported by history. Hell, 2-loss teams made it into the 4-team playoff fairly regularly.
A 2-loss SEC has a very, very high probability of making it into a 12- or 16-team playoff nearly every time. There might be an occasion where it doesn’t happen, but it will be very rare.
In fact, I think there is a much higher probability of a 3-loss SEC team making it into even a 12-team playoff than a 2-loss SEC team being left out.
I am a lifetime Vol fan, even though I left the State in 62 to go into the military and never returned (except for short family visits). However, I give the Vols zero chance of making the Playoffs. The team just isn't as good as we thought, when they were thumping the "gimme" games.even if we lose a second game down the road, beating Bama in Tuscaloosa will give us enough street cred to make it into the field.

I agree with you. If we lose to Bama, the best win on our resume may be a 4 or 5 loss Oklahoma or Vandy by the time the season is over. There could be 6 (maybe 7) two loss SEC teams and at least 5 of them probably have a better resume than UT if we lose to Bama. A 2 loss Notre Dame team would jump us. Final bid could go to the winner of South Florida or Memphis. Who knows, we really need this W to make the playoffs. Losing to Georgia when we outplayed them still stings. Otherwise, we need some breaks the rest of the way on how other SEC teams fare.even if we lose a second game down the road, beating Bama in Tuscaloosa will give us enough street cred to make it into the field.
