I understand where you’re coming from, but year’s been weird in general. We’re 4-0 right now, let’s let the next few weeks play out before panicking too much.Not a good look that we had to go to OT to beat this team. I’ve not understood their ranking all year… riding last year’s coattails. We should’ve beat them by 2 scores in regulation.
It’s pretty simple really - our team is ranked where we should be ranked. You have to factor in two things. 1. Our pass defense super sucks. Allowing every average team to rack up yards and points against us.True enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if they ran off some wins given that the ACC is trash, but this is a putrid loss.
Pitt is much worse than advertised- Florida will be better than advertised.It’s pretty simple really - our team is ranked where we should be ranked. You have to factor in two things. 1. Our pass defense super sucks. Allowing every average team to rack up yards and points against us.
2. Our offense is super good. But, It can barely offset our crappy pass defense - and it’s the best offense statistically in the country.

I truly don’t know how good we are. Best guess is we’re a top 20, maybe top 15 team. But our offense gives us a chance to beat almost anyone. I just don’t know how anyone can glean much from beating this Pitt team in OT and even the Florida game given their talent level and how much our defense gave up. Pumped that we’re undefeated… next weekend is huge. While LSU isn’t great, it’ll be a good road win if they can get it and would mean more to me than the Pitt win for sure, maybe Florida too (aside from the giant mental hurdle we had to get over by finally beating them).I already see some TN “fans” questioning if we are any good because Pitt lost to a bad team. Ridiculous.
