Is what the FPI is giving Tennessee over Florida right now.

FPI usually stays around 75% accuracy.

I won't believe it till the final whistle blows Richardson just played a horrible game, but I still see him running all over the field like he did against Utah in Knoxville.

I think the vols are still setting fine though had them 4-1 after 5 weeks still sticking to that prediction.
 
I got tickled last night looking at the new "espn bowl predictions". They didn't even have us predicted to make a bowl (two peoples opinions)


I know the majority of bowls don't matter in the end but to these kids, it's a big deal unless they sit out to prepare for draft or other reasons. From a football standpoint, the extra practices is great for a program regardless.

I personally enjoy bowl games, and the many many kids that are suiting up for the last time do as well. I've never agreed bowl games mean nothing.

I do think they are a few to many, and would be aright if they changed it from 6 win teams to 7-8 win teams get to go bowling

Agree 100%. Was covering my tail for the Negative Nancy's (trying to keep it from going that route)
 
A lot will depend on Richardson ability to run.

If FL didn't run him much against KY because he was dinged, then a lot depends on how healthy he is.

But, I think we can pressure him. He was severely rattled Saturday, and even admitted it. That's not easily fixed.

As mentioned, I'll believe it when the 4th qtr clock ends, and we have one more point on the board than they do. However, make sure there isn't a flag on the field ;) !

I just don't see UF beating TN. Our starting Lb got hurt. Won't know until tomorrow if he misses time. But our offense took several steps back last week

Vols are 48pt favorites in that game. I know they play Akron this weekend most probably won't even watch. think it's only on SEC network plus or something. I will be taking the time to check a few stands and change out some SD cards in the trail cams.

It's not the fans job to make sure the teams are ready for the cupcakes so I don't see the problem talking about a game that takes place in 11 days

I can't see the Vols beating Fla. AR will have a heisman performance and the injured LB will be defensive player of the week , just how it works between the teams. If a player gets hurt against Tn their backup usually does better than the starter. Yes, I have BVS ( battered vol syndrome) . Vols are a 7-5 team and prob not in the top 25. Sure hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.

This is what I see also when it comes to UF & UT football.

UT "Should" beat UF at home against a first year head coach with struggling QB....But I also find it more likely UF comes in AR runs all over the place Defense plays well and UF leaves Knoxville with a 3pt Heartbreaker of a game.

Then UF will probably go on to look horrible most of the year, but will still have bragging rights over TN

I'm 100% with you on the FL game. Richardson will play like a Heisman trophy winner and lead them down the field for a late score to win the game. I think worst case we go 8-4 though. LSU stinks, USC jr stinks, Kentucky is still Kentucky, and Vandy is still Vandy. I just can't see us losing more than one of those games.
 
Checker Neyland for the florida game is now becoming a thing lol that's also a bad omen for Tennessee...

They breaking out the black or smokey grays any this year?

Last time we beat Florida was a checkered stadium. It's official that the Smokey grays will be used in each of the next 3 years (I think it was 3)

I've always heard that the players love the bowl games.
