[Manning Up]

247 Talent roster is updated and UT slides in at number 12. 3 SEC teams on the Vols schedule rank higher, A&M at 9th, then Alabama and Georgia. Tennessee is ranked ahead of Auburn (13) and Florida (16). Florida is having a meltdown over it.

Now let's do something with it.

I can only imagine the gator fans right now. I love seeing reports like this.

Not paying one iota of attention to some goofy list of "roster talent" on some website.

The Biggest Takeaways from Tennessee's Recruits Performance at the Opening

Doesnt say that. But does highlight what everyone has been complaining about...and this was at the opening

That was an interesting read. Guarantano didn't play well in real, live 7-on-7 action in the Elite 11 competition, and he still doesn't all these years later.

Would someone please send me a picture of the gators meltdown. That would relieve my virus shutdown depression

Kentucky has a mental hang up with Florida too that, if it wasn't for the fact that Kentucky has a "rivalry" with Tennessee, might exceed the hang up they have with us.

F Florida. Is there anybody that they struggle with? Historically they've owned us, owned Georgia, have the upper hand over FSU (although Bowden did get the better of Spurrier), and are basically even with Miami and LSU.

In the SEC East:

Within the conference, Florida trails the all time series against:
Alabama, 14-26
Georgia, 43-52-2
Ole Miss, 11-12-1 &
Missouri, 4-5
And leads everyone else, with the exception of A&M with whom they are tied 2-2.

Tennessee trails the all time series against:
Alabama, 38-57-7
Florida, 20-29
Auburn, 22-28-3
Georgia, 23-24-2 &
Missouri, 3-5.
And leads everyone else in the conference.

Georgia trails the all time series with:
Alabama, 25-40-4 &
LSU, 13-18-1
And leads everyone else within the conference, with the exception of A&M with whom they are tied 3-3.

Key stat.

Kyle Trask>>>>>>>JG

I mean, of course but, if I were a fan of lizards, I would have NEGATIVE fear of us with JG trotting onto the field.

Imagine how we would feel if the lizards trotted him out against us and we had Trask?

My gut tells me Trask will have a down year this go round.

Oops, never mind, that was just the Krystals.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Oops, never mind, that was just the Krystals.

That's it!

Need to ship Krystal burger to the gator hotel the night before the game. Extra Krystals for Trask.

I was talking about series with rivals, not necessarily a team's record against every conference team.

Florida is just annoying because against their rivals, they either clearly lead the all-time series, are basically .500 in the all-time series, or if they're below .500 in the all-time series it's a function of them having been bad 70 years ago (like their series with Georgia) - they've dominated it for about the last 40 years.

I know, I just love looking at college football history and trends and your post interested me to look at UT vs. UF as far as their records against conference opponents, then I went ahead and did UGA too while I was at it. What few original posts I ever do are often related to history like that. Looks like UF holds a 23-17 advantage over UGA in their last 40 meetings, too bad we didn't play Florida more when they sucked like they did. Also, with the exception of Bama holding a pretty good lead over everyone, most of the SEC series between the traditional powers are pretty close and sway back and forth from time to time.

For example, when I first started following football, UT had a narrow edge over UGA in the all time series, then we lost several match ups with them in the 80's and they took it back and then we went on that run and beat them 9 times in a row (still their longest losing streak to any opponent LOL, giving us like +7 advantage) and then we've barfed the lead back up with all of our recent dysfunction.

 

[VOLinAL]

One of the best in the SEC. 2 mid 4-stars and 2 upper 3 stars. I know people feel strongly on JG, but he was ranked higher than Bailey. He has the talent, if he ever becomes consistent, sky is the limit.

Ive been waiting for 6 years to see this "talent" you speak of.

Florida struggled to run the football last year and teams know it, I think it's possible that teams play a bend but don't break style defense against them this season and that Trask could struggle. He's not a threat to run and if their RBs are not playmakers then Trask will be facing max coverage and complicated blitz packages a bunch. I'm hoping we up our running game as we've been in the same situation for a while now.

 

[CR-vol]

Hopefully we're not a paper tiger again...

 

[KELSOWAVOL]

Where'd Vanderbilt rank?

 

[gunner]

For our ranking to be consistently in the 12 to 16 range since 2015 says what to VOL fans???

What's the issue??

Need a QB that like Dobbs that can make a play when sugar turns to ****.

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Wait so now stars are good???? Im so confused

Come on, man! Didn't you read the handbook??

We are kicking Florida’s and Auburn’s a** this year.

I just don't trust Guarantano. His decision making is terrible and I'm afraid it won't be any better this year. I'd rather go with anybody than him. Just my opinion.

 

[tpsdave]

Now let's do something with it.

We'll see. Guess the games will give us the true numbers...

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

I dont see this team elevating to top 12 status where it matters until they roll over the QB room.

Guarantano is what he is at this point and now they are breaking in a new receiver rotation.

Tough to replace 70 percent of the production in receiving on the fly without an elite QB.

Good for us then as Al, GA, KY and FL all lost most of their production as well.

 

[secking]

18th, you were talking about medical school rank, right?
I couldn’t find them with a search warrant on team talent.

 

[Vol8188]

Why did Auburn pass us?

 

[Boca Vol]

Why did Auburn pass us?

Probably because they've beaten both UGA & Bama (twice) fairly recently.
