They had Scott Ramsey (MCB rep) on 104.5 last week, and he sounded as if they would have a very high interest in Ole Miss if Ole Miss got 6 wins. He seemed more excited for an opportunity at Ole Miss than either Vandy or TN.

Does it really even matter? I mean if we even are lucky enough to get bowl eligible, its gonna be a fifth or sixth tier worthless bowl against a nobody. Aside from getting some extra practice time, there is no benefit to even playing a game like that. It's more embarrassing to the program than anything really.

I understand your point, but I'd still prefer a low tier or mid tier bowl over no bowl. As frustrated as I get with the games, I still look forward to watching the TN games. A bowl game would extend the ability to look forward to watching TN play football in 2012.

I've looked at the remaining schedules of all the SEC teams. If the Vols finish 7-5, there is a good chance they would be in the Gator Bowl.

It'd take some help and Texas a&m would have to fall hard...they're likely not going to opt for a 7-5 UT team over an 8 win A&M, Miss St, or whoever

Looking at A&M's schedule, I think their final stretch is gonna be similar to Missouri's first half.

I was thinking about this last night...to me it looks like Virginia Tech is going to finish 7-5 as well so maybe we could get our revenge against them in the Music City Bowl?

7-5 is very hopeful. I hope we do get a bowl for everyone's sake especially the players, they have worked hard and deserve that experience. GBO

I think it is significantly less embarrassing to be in the Liberty Bowl, than to not even be INVITED to the liberty bowl.

a bowl is a bowl, all you people whining about it being worthless are clueless. it will be a positive for the program and extra practice time and a chance to get another win, and send the senior's out right with a W. something tennessee hasn't done in 5 years. take the positives and move on. GO VOLS!!!

I hope it's the Music City Bowl. It's the only one I could reasonably travel to. I think New Year's in nashville would be incredible. Had tix to the game v UNC a couple of years ago, but had to sell em due to a bone marrow biopsy scheduled 2 days before.

Best of the available options?

I would love to see UT v. Miami/VaTech.

We could go on a 2-0 run against the ACC this year. That is improvement over the last 6 or so meetings. I'll take it, all things considered.

I know there is still a lot of football left. Depending on how our team looks against troy saturday, I think we will win out. The only game that scares me is vandy just because of how last year went. But like I said if we show up against troy like we did against Akron, the next three games could be painful

7-5 or 6-6

does anyone know who we might play if we win 3/4 games? what bowl? favorable match ups? I think once we see an out of conference foe our guys will not be intimidated at all, seeing how we've played 5 top 12 teams this year.

I think some conversation not involving Gruden or a hart announcement is needed at this point.

The season has to play out, but this is a good topic. If we win out and play a good team in the bowl game and win, then a case for Dooley can be made. Especially if we improve our defense.

I do believe that we are bowl bound, 7-5 is still possible if they keep their heads - per the Experts:

CFN: Franklin American Mortgage Music CityNashville, TN LP Field
Dec. 31, 12:00 pm, ESPN
SEC No. 7 vs. ACC No. 6
Projection: Tennessee vs. *Arizona State*No ACC team projected available

ESPN:Mark Schlabach Picks:

BBVA Compass(Big East vs. SEC)
Pittsburgh vs. Tennessee

Brad Edwards Picks:

Franklin American Mortgage Music City(ACC vs. SEC)
Miami (FL) vs. Tennessee

SEC Edward Aschoff Picks:AutoZone Liberty Bowl, Dec. 31: Tennessee vs. Conf. USA Champ

(for the record, Phil Steele had Vols/ Miami in the MCB from last week's predictions; not undated for this week yet)
