Georgia.

I'm not sold on Smart being totally inept just yet. He has assembled a decent staff and he has plenty of talent.

I would think after what happened with CJM at Florida this past year people on here might be a little more cautious about Smart at UGA. Noap.

Our run to Atlanta goes through Athens, not at home versus Florida.

I want to beat Bama next year. But I won't be ready to burn mattresses if we lose a hard fought match in Neyland because we are going to get another shot at them in Atlanta.

Has to be Florida. We'd be on a 9 game win streak before the game and a loss in Neyland to those bums again would absolutely demoralize the team and fans. Plus, it would be the first conference game

Even a loss to Va tech, which I believe will be pretty unlikely, would still be much better than another loss to Florida

This! In my mind it's both Bama and Florida.

Florida and Georgia

Gotta beat the contenders in your division or you're on the outside looking in for Atlanta. Beat them both and ALA game is not a make or break game. Lose one and ALA may become a must win.

if we can't break the streak/curse this year then it may go on for a long time. We should be a ton better than them this year. They are weak at QB and lost a lot on D and I think their coach is overrated. They surprised some people early last year (with a QB on roids), but once teams caught on it did not go well down the stretch. I hope we boat race their as* next year.

Battle at Bristol is a three ring circus that's short two rings. It will get a little hype but realistically can only hurt the Vols nationally. Win and you're supposed to. Lose and you're over hyped anyway. I don't see an upside.

UF is the game that will set the tone for the season.

The arrogance and pessimism from Tennessee fans on this game amazes me.

Florida, because I'm sick and tired of hearing about the curse, how they have our number, etc. So many fans write it off long before it's played. Geeze, people.

So I don't think anyone has mentioned them yet, but I'd be remiss if I didn't.

The team that we need to beat the most, besides every team, is Florida.

It would be nice to give both Florida and Bama their only loses, 1 in the regular season, then Bama's 2nd in the SECCG, and Florida's 2nd in the NC game.

Barring us melting down and losing to App State I expect Gameday to be at Bristol. We should handle VT but their fans will be excited and out in force.

Anybody remember Michigan being rated number 5 and App. State beating them at the big house if we are looking ahead to VT that could be us.:eek:hmy:
