I'm never so happy to see a good thread die as I am with this one each year. Because that means It's Football Time in Tennessee!

Thank you Yankee and Grand, for this year's countdown. You both did awesome with it.

Go Vols!

They don't normally do preseason ratings, but their in-season predictions have been pretty stellar. They gave it a shot this year and have Tennessee going undefeated and beating Michigan in the national championship. Lol
