Or are these guys blind? Ranking top 5 units they used a weird 3 players per position group bar but still. We were only ranked in one special teams number 1 but even then Desmond Howard used Medley as our third which seems weird to me as a certain punter is more highly regarded afaik. D line a no show? Secondary and oline I get but skill position? Even if you don't count Kamara as the third you could eeasily slot Wolfe in there and legit be in top 4. Alabama Crimson Tide, Clemson Tigers, Iowa Hawkeyes rank among college football's best position groups

I'm totally over ratings and predictions. I'm ready for the season to begin.

Is there anything higher than a National Championship? If not, then, no. We are not over rating ourselves.


Just kidding......or am I. :)

No. We're going to obliterate everyone on our schedule this year. It'll basically be a repeat of the 1938 season.

...we're going to finish the season undefeated but only reach the #2 spot in the main final rankings?

(Not to mention Auburn, Alabama and Vanderbilt were really close games that year).

The eventual NC almost always gets an extra share of good luck that season: with injuries, mistakes by opponents, beneficial bounces (like a fumble recovered against Arkansas to turn a loss into a win), as well as some key personnel coming off the bench to perform better than anyone expected.

With bad luck, we could be a repeat of last year; with good luck we could be SEC champs; with great luck we could be NCs.

But it won't become a movie script until after the season. Until then, it's just reality playing itself out.

September 24 Florida in Knoxville
October 1 Georgia in Athens
October 8 A&M in College Station
October 15 Alabama in Knoxville

We are a very good team, but that has to be the toughest 4 game stretch in college football this year!!! If we go 3-1 during this stretch then the season was a success (must win is Florida).

Some are. You should win the SECe easily but until an eastern division team shows it can get it done against the west i think you have to asume that's the upper limit for now.

We're actually UNDERrated.

We'll win the national title rather easily. 2013 Florida State style.
