Georgia seems the most likely to me. They're breaking in a new QB and have to play us in Neyland.

Georgia is the easiest answer... we play them at home, and they're the lowest ranked of the four, not to mention they lost Stafford and Knowshon.

That being said, we are capable of beating all these teams IMO, even Florida.

Yeah, it would be nice to split with the top 4 teams on the schedule and go 10-2 for the year.

so out of the ones we play i take it (rather than any team in the top 25...cause i'd take BYU or Iowa)

gonna say GA as best chance

I would take even money on Mississippi and Georgia (in)
and Va Tech, Cali, Oregon, Boise ST, TCU, BYU, and Oregon ST (out)

UGA, for every reason listed before, plus they come off a huge game the week before their trip to Neyland (I want to say LSU?).

The odds are the same with either team. They win or they don't. To say that we have a better shot at one than the others is defeatism.

I hate these type of polls......:eek:hmy: I do, I really do.
