Ole Miss has an absolute cake walk to the SEC Championship game. I think their one tough game is uga. Several of the top 10 teams will not be there after week 4.
LSU and/or Oklahoma might take them down before they even get to UGa.
I'm seeing Ole Miss as a 2- or 3-loss team this year.
As usual, we'll have to earn every begrudging ranking from the sportswriters. We moved up one lousy spot? We should've gone to #12.
The pollsters collectively over-reacted to the USCw win over LSU and the Miami beatdown of Florida. Both those teams leapfrogged us.
And I'm pretty certain we're better than both those teams, subject to our DBs proving themselves these next three weeks.
Go Vols!
p.s. Dangit, Titan, you got me thinking about Kiffin, lol. Here's the world according to Kiffinites (some of whom populate vn.com):
2009: Kiffin's gonna take off! He'll prove that mean ol Al Davis wrong.
2011: Lane is gonna light it up any time now, we're about to see the Kiffin magic.
2017: Okay, here we go, it's gotta happen soon! Right? Right?
2021: Any time now, hoo boy howdy, watch close, don't blink, Kiffin's about to set the world on fire.
2024: #6 in the nation, baby, it's all ahead of us!
