I think he is way off but I'm hearing this more and more from analyst. Do you think Phil pulls one out of his hat this weekend?

UT-Alabama is not the equivalent of Ohio State-Michigan or Texas-Oklahoma, at least not for a number of years.

Not even close anymore. First Bama was down and now we are.

Exactly.

Its the same reason Florida-FSU or Miami-FSU is just another rivalry game of little consequence.

The guy who picked Michigan State to beat Ohio State last week is picking UT this week. Thats a great sign!

Exactly what I was thinking

Schrader must not have witnessed the Vols this year.

Oddly enough I picked Michigan State too. I don't get paid to give those kind of predictions though. I picked UT to win but I pick them every week.
I think UT can win. Can and will are 2 different things though.

How is Ohio State-Mich still in the same league as Texas-Oklahoma then?

I never heard of this guy before.......Oh now I get it.

if he pulls this off, it won't be out of his hat.

True. It will be pulled from another region

Just a couple of years ago, they met as 1 vs. 2 in their last games of the year. When has Alabama vs. Tennessee been that meaningful lately?

but to do so, he might have to pull is hat from his ass. Might help if he brought the head with it.

I'll be sure to listen for a loud pop at Neyland tomorrow night.

yeah.. That was the year florida jumped over Michigan . A lot of people said it was because the voters didnt want to see a rematch of the osu michigan game.

The closest Tennessee has come to this is when they played LSU in 2001.
Its not exactly the same obviously but its the closest they have been since.

I see your point but that rivalry is going to be awfully one sided for a long time.

 

[volman44]

I don't think it has to necessarily be a 1 vs. 2 match-up to be a big rivalry. Regardless of where the teams are ranked, Tennessee-Bama, Ohio State-Michigan, Texas-Oklahoma, and even Florida-Florida State are always going to be big games to their respective fanbases.

What do you guys (and gals) think about the o/u? It's at 40 now.
