We are preseason ranked no. 28, which is pretty generous and finishing 3rd in the East. Didn't have a chance to read a lot, but they have EB as preseason all-american 1st team as expected. Also an article "Lame Kiffin? Or is he?" which i have yet to read.

I would say that 28th is too high to start out with, but if we keep it interesting in the UF game and beat Aub (and UCLA) for a 3-1 start I beleive we crack the top 25.

Is anyone else worried about what kiffin is doing to the reputation of the UT football program?

You mean as far as getting it seen and heard about on a regular basis and drawing in the top recruits in the country?...No worries here, I like the direction its going

Our reputation of not being competitive with our rivals?

Seriously. I'm tired of looking at highlight clips of us in the 20th century. Lane has us going in the direction we need to be, granted it won't be immediately this season, but we will be there.

There wasn't much that was magical about it, lucky is more like it. It took a "perfect storm" of losses from our rivals too get to atlanta.

Just like the magical loses it took for UF to win the national championship last season, and LSU to win it the year before, and UF to win it the year before.

Face it, there are only very rare cases when anyone says they didn't need another team to lose to have success.

How many years has UT finished 3rd in the East behind FL and GA?

I can answer your question. since we went to division play in 1992, Tennessee has finished 3rd twice behind Florida and Georgia..

here is how UT has done:

92 - 3rd behind UF and UGA
93 - tied 1st
94 - 2nd
95 - 2nd
96 - 2nd
97 - 1st
98 - 1st
99 - 2nd
00 - tied for 2nd
01 - 1st
02 - 3rd behind UF and UGA
03 - tied for 1st
04 - 1st
05 - tied for 4th behind UF, UGA and others
06 - 2nd
07 - tied for 1st
08 - 5th behind UGA, UF and others..

lot better than you thought Huh? Seems UGA has finished behind Vols much more than Vols behind UGA...

I would have guessed twice. It is historically a two team division. UT and UF.

Hoss, you have completely redefined the definition of "ignorant Internet poster". Seriously.

You don't like Kiffin. We get it.

We (or at least I) don't care for you. Get it.

And welcome to the Ignore List.

Go Vols.

Interesting, I was thinking more in terms of bowl games. Where the SEC east first team is in either the Sugar or Citrus Bowl, the 2nd team/choice is in the Outback, and the third team/choice is in the Peach/Chick Fillet Bowl. Just seems the Peach Bowl is where UT usually ended up.
