Florida is the most-overrated preseason team in the last 10 years. I understand what they achieved last year. But with what they lost, the conference they play in, to be No. 3 in the country in the Coaches' Poll? They're probably No. 11, No. 12, just outside the Top 10 if you ask me. All of their preseason rankings are based on what they accomplished last year.
With Tennessee's record at 70-30 since winning the title in 1998, and after the last two seasons (5-6, 9-4), if Tennessee struggles again in a tough SEC, how secure is Phillip Fulmer's job? - E.L.
I'm done predicting the security of coaches' jobs. I've seen coaches who, to me, should have been long gone. I remember when David Cutcliffe was at Ole Miss and had just come off of winning 10 games with Eli Manning. The following year they struggle early on and fire Cutcliffe. Where are they at today?
Now the next coach is on the hot seat -- Ed Orgeron -- because they're going to want to get a recruiter. That firing of Cutcliffe has to go down as one of the more moronic firings from an athletic director and president that I've ever seen. Ole Miss was on the verge of being relevant in the SEC, then they fire the coach.
Translate that to Tennessee and that's why I'm excited about the Vols. I know LaMarcus Coker just got suspended, and if some of these players would just grow up a little bit and they actually make the team and play, I think Tennessee is a sleeper. Georgia is being overlooked a little bit, but in the SEC East no one is looking at Tennessee. They have a veteran quarterback in Erik Ainge and this is year No. 2 under the Cutcliffe system. Phillip Fulmer's bio should have an asterisk: when David Cutcliffe was the offensive coordinator and when he wasn't the offensive coordinator.
