HARDY HAR HAR go ahead and stroke your conference ego. Just like stoops said, the middle of the road SEC isn't any better than any other conference. Of course that is where Tennessee has been the past decade, so your going to take offense to it.

If you think we've been middle of the road the past decade then you haven't been paying attention. We've been middle of the road 3 out of the past 10 seasons and cellar dwellers the other 7. Middle of the road is a couple of seasons away.

percentages of SEC teams represented in the top final top 15 rankings over the past decade as well as strength of schedule rankings don't agree.
I just googled through the years rankings and will say more affirmatively than ever that YOU SIR ARE INCORRECT!

can we get back to the game at hand now?
its going to be tough for the vols but, I look forward to the game

SOS is purely based on opinion, just like polls. Only the SEC and ESPN actually believe that the SEC is the hardest conference to win in. Texas A&M and Misery proved that was a load of bull hockey.

I have respect for a few teams from the SEC, UT being one of them, but there are always 10 teams getting a false boost in SoS because they play in the same conference as LSU and Bama.

Middle of the road would be sooooo awesome right now.
That reminds me....
Thanks Dooley!

Heck I haven't managed to score 100 in NCAA vs bama (w/o extending quarters). My best is 88-0. Doubt we have to worry about being scored triple digits on.

In all honesty, I think I'd eventually get over it and be fine with Oklahoma scoring 100 points on Saturday...

As long as we score 101, that is.

That makes sense, because Johnny Football and Kevin Sumlin were at aTm when they were in the Big XII...

Oh wait.

At some point Vol fans you just gotta open your eyes and look at the rosters.

IF our guys keep it close, perhaps we will have a chance to win in the 4th. We're gonna need a lot of stuff to go our way though. Turnovers, maybe a special teams break down for a td.
They just have to much for our young guys to defend right now. Next year is another story.

We do have something on our side though. OU is notorious for not showing up for big games.
Of course my heart is saying our Vols win. My head is telling me 38-14 OU.

But, that's why they play the game.

Discount those 2 games. The coaches were working on packages and timing. They never opened up the playbook, just played vanilla, just as UT did in their first 2 games.

Stoops had a chance once to 'hang a hundred' on Texas A&M. He called off the dogs at halftime the second and third string still scored 3 more touchdowns before they were ordered not to score again.

Stoops doesn't hate the SEC. What he hates is the media making it look like the SEC is unbeatable. He's done a pretty good job of beating most of the SEC teams he has coached against at OU.

I'm just hoping for no more injuries to key players. Stupid scheduling, and it's right before sec play. We need to have guys healthy for Uga, uf, and bama.

Shut up with this nonsense. Maybe, just maybe, a middle of the road big 12 team exposed that its not that difficult to come into the SEC and contend. Those two programs aren't insanely better now because they are in the SEC. aTm beat Alabama with big 12 players, and Mizzou won the SEC East with mostly big 12 players. But please, spin it how ever makes you feel good.

You are the one with the spin. You said that Stoops was 12-0 at home against current SEC teams. What you failed to mention was that 11 of those wins were against two teams that weren't in the SEC when the game was played. I am so glad you came onto our board and are such a straight-shooter. Your are a joke. Go home.

Don't know about y'all...but this is starting to pizz me off and I hope it is doing the same thing to our players.

...my thoughts are starting to turn on the predicted outcome of this game...in that I'm starting to get that gut feeling that everyone is overlooking TENNESSEE...the overwhelming underdog.

I just don't see a curb stomping...I gotta believe we will have more fight than that.

Convenient SEC logic - leaving off the Bama '13 win. Ole Miss was Stoops first year, and we went 7-5, and they won on a last second kick. LSU and Florida were competitive games, NC games no less, and home games for LSU and Florida, respectively. Bama in '03 was ranked, I believe around #20 when we played early in the year. It's easy to make the narrative fit whatever agenda you're trying to push. Just look at Finebaum and ESPN.

A&M is obviously an SEC "powerhouse", coughwhocouldn'tbeatuswhentheywereintheBig12cough. That SEC patch gives SPECIAL POWERS, so I'll give you that one.

You should combine A&M and Missouri into Stoops' win loss record. They're the same teams the last two years as they were in the Big 12.

Cracks me up how simply being in the SEC completely changes the narrative of those two also-rans.....

The fact that you have to reach that far speaks volumes doesn't it

I can't really speak for Missouri, but A&M being the same as they were in the big12? No way. I said when it was rumored that a Texas A&M in the SEC will be dangerous. To open the door to all those Texas players to have a state team in the SEC made them a football power almost overnight. I also believe both Missouri and A&M both were granted waivers on the recruiting limits to prepare them for SEC play, could be wrong though. It also doesn't help that around this same period the Longhorns hit a downswing. Whether you like it or not, more SEC players make it to the NFL than any other conference ( i believe last year SEC doubled 2nd place) and now Missouri and A&M are getting those players as well. That's the special powers that SEC patch gives.

Here are the reasons that the SEC is considered so dominant in the BCS era:

1998 - Tennessee
2003 - LSU
2006 - Florida
2007 - LSU
2008 - Florida
2009 - Alabama
2010 - Auburn
2011 - Alabama (LSU runnerup)
2012 - Alabama
2013 - (Auburn runnerup)

Same time period for the Big 12
2000 - Oklahoma
2001 - (Nebraska runnerup)
nothing since...

Being in the SEC generally brings up your level of play and probably recruiting as well.

This banter was started by an Oklahoma fan poster who was claiming the Sooners were 12-0 against the SEC at home. Of couse he failed to mention that 11 of those wins came against teams that weren't in the SEC.

I guess Williamette, Centre, and Millsap can claim that they beat an SEC team in 2013 when they defeated Sewanee (University of the South). After all, Sewanee was in the SEC, but not in 2013.

Uh huh no. Their recruiting improved the moment the deals to join SEC was struck.

I'm shocked ESPN isn't saying UT would score 100 points on OU because SEC! SEC! SEC!

OU won't score 100 points. I doubt they even score half of that. It's going to be a good game between 2 storied programs. There's no need by anyone to disrespect either team. At least they had the **lls to schedule each other when teams like Baylor are scheduling low tier FCS schools.

Besides, ESPN said Bama would beat OU by 20+ in the Sugar Bowl. Look how that turned out for them.

Guess OU took it easy on KU last year when they scored a mighty 34 in a 2 TD win. Why do folks even listen to the dumbasses who say things like this? OU put up 50 once last year on a horrendous C-USA team now they're suddenly going to put up 100 on an SEC team, albeit an avg one? Give me freaking break.

Didn't that B12 also-ran, TAMU, rape y'all their first year in the SEC? The patch must've given them powers.
