... of the Vols being 3-5 at the end of October?

If you lose Saturday, I'd put it at 75 percent.

Think about it. If you are 1-2, before the end of October you have Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.

Now, if you win Saturday, I can see you being 6-2 or 7-1.

What does losing to you guys in Gainesville have to with us beating or losing to UGA or USC in Knoxville?

Absolutely nothing in terms of direct impact. More an assessment of where you are. If you can beat Florida at Florida, that's a pretty good sign.

The odds are about the same as the Gators going 8-4 after those trips on the road to play Georgia in Jacksonville and then to LSU and South Carolina.

If you judge schedules by quality wins, the Gators are 0-2.Tebow can't rely on Leak to bail him out this year.I'm not 100% sold on the guy myself.

The chance of FireUrbanMeyer.com being up and running by Oct 7 if Florida loses to the Vols in the swamp this week, even though he won a National Championship last season: 50%

Because it's a good indicator that the Gators will likely be 3-3 after road trips to LSU and Auburn and that 59-31 victory over Troy won't be looking so meaningless anymore.

Ah yes, the tit-for-tat post.

Might I point out that we don't go to Auburn, they come to us? Also, I doubt any Florida fans would be upset if we lose to LSU. Certainly not enough to start clamoring for UM's job.

He's safe as long as he doesn't do something completely incompetent like lead a team with a top five ranking to a 5-6 record.

Oh. Sorry.

The odds are probably higher of meeting Tim Tebow in the Gainesville Airport men's room.

Okay, was wondering if anyone would see the tension between odds and percentages. Rephrased, the odds would be 3 in 4.

Again, you suck at this. If Tennessee loses, UT will still have AT WORST a 50% chance against UGA in Knoxville, a 50% chance against South Carolina at home, and a 40% chance to win at Alabama ... AT WORST for all 3 games.

Sooooooo, 50% x 50% x 60% = 15% chance of losing all 3

I actually think if UT loses, we have a 55% chance of beating UGA, 55% of beating USCe, and a 45% of beating Alabama, so, 45% x 45% x 55% = 11.1% chance of losing all 3.

That's a pretty rediculous statment - at worst, maybe we could be listed as 0-0 not having played any really good teams (tell that to Michigan tho)

As far as Tebow - we'll see what happens :ninja:

What's really ridiculous is the way you spelled ridiculous.
SMU is better than Troy and Western Kentucky combined, whereby we would be 1-1 (since Cal is a top 15 team and SMU isn't that bad).:eek:k:
