Tennessee #12 in USAToday Preseason poll

[hUTch2002]

Yeah, for real. I know some fans feel disrespected by being out of the top 10, but I can remember getting excited about just being in the top 25 during that 15 year rough stretch.

We had an amazing year. Next step of this rebuild of our football program is showing some consistency. We need another couple of good years before people start giving us the benefit of the doubt.

We started outside the top 10 in ‘98. Were fun to watch and capable of beating anyone. I’m good!

That won't happen

Heupel has the team actually prepare for every team we play

Unlike Pruitt.

Explain South Carolina last year.

UNTESTED!!

Both Bama and UGA have 100% totally untested SEC QBs. Neither has stepped on the stage and taken a snap but, guess which SEC QB has not only taken snaps but, thrown TDs, won a bunch 'o' games and, beaten Clemson in a bowl game? Hmmm?????? (Joe Milton...)

Let's make these preseason prognosticators eat their unfounded problematic prognostications, ok?

Go Vols!

Weren’t we ranked somewhere between 12 - 15 to start the 98 season? Just sayin…

11th i believe

"Carson Beck is poised to replace Stetson Bennett after outplaying rivals Brock Vandergriff and Gunner Stockton"

Does UGA only recruit QB's with dbag names?

I thought they signed another 5star Brad Vageena

How is Notre Dame SO overrated EVERY year?

What has FSU done to be 5th?

What has FSU done to be 5th?

They finished 10-3 last year, and the three losses came by a total of 18 points. Now you can argue about quality of their opponents, but they still finished the year playing really well. They return 87% of their total production from last season. That leads the country. Week one against LSU will tell a lot.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Not a chance in PENIS FSU and Washington are ranked that high.

How is Notre Dame SO overrated EVERY year?

They are always overrated, but Sam Hartman might be the best quarterback they’ve had in years. They have a huge game when Ohio State comes to town. I’m sure they’ll blow it, but they could be decent.
