This would be a great time for Business to pop into a thread.

Thanks for the link.

Bandwagon filling up again. Like the effort the team displayed and the plays the coaches called. Richt was out coached. Hope this carries on to the remaining games.

2. Ohio State vs. USC for the national title.
I'm not saying it's right, I'm trying to predict. USC still has road trips at Oregon, Cal and Arizona State to make some national noise. This might not be the juggernaut of past years, but it's still a good team that'll finally wake up. The Stanford loss didn't cause enough of a tumble, and the ranking will only creep up with the big wins ahead. Ohio State isn't going to lose at Penn State or at Michigan, but Wisconsin is a tough matchup for this team. The Buckeyes won't be impressive, but they'll be 12-0.

I think he's probably right about Ohio State. The Big 10 will be even easier to blow through this year than usual.

Really though... it's not a question of "can they" it is "will they keep motivated and focused".

If they start thinking it's going to fall into their lap, they'll fall on hard times.

Another interesting quote from the article:

2. Navy will end its 43-game losing streak to Notre Dame on Nov. 3. This is the Middies’ best chance in decades to break through against the Irish, an opportunity that they’ll seize by running the ball right at one of the nation’s weakest run defenses. If Navy can’t get it done this fall, it could be another 43 games

If that happens, the longest win streak in the country will be....




Tennessee's streak over Kentucky.

The entire article to the Tusday Question is available by the link: Scout.com: Tues. Question - 3 Wild Things That'll Happen
I'm just posting what is in reference to our Vols below:


Matthew Zemek

Q: After a wild first half of the year, make three big calls for the second half of the season.

A: 1) Cincinnati wins the Big East. This is a no-frills team that doesn't look like it will buckle under pressure. Speed and physicality to match South Florida, even on the road.

2) Tennessee will run the table. The Vols have a tremendous chance. If they can bottle up what they drank against Georgia, they're the second-best team in the SEC East and could amazingly fend off the same Florida team that beat them by 39.

3) Missouri wins the Big XII North. Long-time doubter, first-time believer. The Tigers seem ready. They appear to have more competitive hunger than in the past, and more

We have to get to the SEC Championship game to run the table. FLA has to lose one or two SEC East games or does any SEC lost count? I always get confused on this subject.

any SEC loss counts. Right now Tennessee wins out and goes to the SECCG no matter what happens to anyone else in the east.

Any SEC loss counts. Division games are used as a tie breaker if needed, as is head to head. (I believe)

Thanks, now I understand. I remember a few years ago there were 3 or 4 teams with similar records and they used division games and head-to-head matchups. I think we ended up not playing in that SECCG and I was pissed.

Ah, yes, 2003. GA lost to LSU and FL, FL lost to TN and Ole Miss, TN lost to GA and Auburn. GA went to the SEC CG to lose to LSU. That was pretty wild. Didn't the SEC coaches vote to see who would represent the East in the SEC CG?
