Here you go Gators!!

Tennessee schedules its third neutral site game between now and 2018. What is the future of the major conference home-and-home scheduling in Knoxville, where the Vols have done it better and longer than anyone else in the league?

With Tennessee and Oklahoma playing their home-and-home the next two years, the future has quickly become more about these neutral games than the traditional home-and-home model we've seen forever. Going back to the rise of the modern era of Tennessee Football, here are the home-and-homes the Vols have played in the last 30 years:

UCLA (1985, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2008, 2009)
Boston College (1987, 1988)
Notre Dame (1990, 1991, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005)
Louisville (1991, 1993)
Syracuse (1998, 2001)
Miami (2002, 2003)
California (2006, 2007)
Oregon (2010, 2013)
Oklahoma (2014, 2015)


Phillip Fulmer signed contracts with Nebraska and Ohio State for 2016-19 which have since been broken, as was a long-rumored arrangement for Tennessee and Southern Cal to play when Lane Kiffin was the coach in Knoxville. Other than Mike Hamilton's infamous walkaway from the North Carolina series, the Vols have signed up for anyone, anywhere, anytime far more than any other team in the SEC.

But with Virginia Tech finally crossed off the list and the ACC getting into some of those January 1 opportunities, there remain four schools Tennessee would love to get its hands on, especially home-and-home: the Big Ten's holy trinity of Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State (James Franklin bonus!), and of course Texas

Vols ain't scared!... To lose. They should be getting use to it. Heck, they haven't won an sec game away from home in like five years. But no worries, this is the year, right? Or wait, is it next year?

Call me crazy but didnt Auburn and Oklahoma smack Bama around last year.I have no interest in Alabama football,did anyone else beat them?lol
 
It's all going to change for the better, guys. The new playoff format emphasizes strength of schedule more than ever, and teams are already reacting by scheduling big time non-conference games to better position themselves to make the final 4.

The opening Saturday of the 2016 season will have 10 of the top 30 teams playing each other in non-conference games, and there may be more teams joining them. That is unprecedented for an opening weekend.

Here is what Sep 3, 2016 looks like so far. Talk about exciting!

Alabama-Southern Cal at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas
LSU-Wisconsin at Lambeau Field
UCLA at Texas A&M
Notre Dame at Texas
Clemson at Auburn

I would love to make the short drive over to Cowboys Stadium to watch Alabama vs USC, but hopefully I'll be a few hrs down the interstate in Austin watching Notre Dame vs Texas in the stands.
 
Didnt say they would win,I presented facts they would play anyone,anywhere,anytime.I know facts hurt some peoples feeling.If I were a Alabama fan I wouldnt say anything,seeing they play the 95th toughest schedule this year.That will be enough to keep them out of any playoff!lol!!

Oklahoma Yes...that was embarrassing. Auburn won by a once in a lifetime fluke last second play.

When is the last time TN beat Al?
 
Wow you have to go back a full decade to 2004. Since then Alabama has owned TN by a total score of 255 to 78! LOL

There are young Vols fans starting Middle School who weren't even alive the last time TN beat Alabama, and kids starting highschool who were too young to remember the last time TN won!
 
The last Tennessee win vs Alabama was 2006 in Knoxville. Alabama has won 7 straight. In the last 20 years the series is tied 10-10, although technically Tennessee leads 10-9 because Alabama had to vacate their 2005 win because of the textbook scandal.

Alabama leads the overall series 50�38�7

Bama is behind the gators in the Vols losing streak... But it's easy to get mixed up. 7,10 15 it's all the same. All I know is UF and Bama will add to the winning streak against TN. LOL@VOLFANS
 
I told y'all... Wrangler has topped Twinshooter. Hahaha he makes fun of himself with his own "trash talking"
 
So Tennessee is trying to stack their schedule so when they loose every game they still have a shot at playing in the Commode Bowl?

Didn't they buy out UNC to soften the schedule a few years ago??? I will answer that and a tiny little fact some fans want to forget. I guess the title is incorrect.

Might want to know facts about your own team before you make false claims. I hate being the one to keep pointing this out.

Waiting for this fact to be disputed?????? The AD spelled it out why UT wouldn't play power house UNC in football.... :) Crickets.... :)

The fact that TN will play anyone at anytime means absolutely nothing. What is the point here?

I guess you will have to ask Wrangler.... He kind of lost interest in this post after the UNC buy-out was pointed out.... :)
 
BACK OFF GUYS! I will be force to squeeze the Orange juice into your eyes and surely you will be blind the rest of your lives!!!
I am seriously thinking that since the gators and elephant have been rolling in the tide together, you guys sure have been acting all nasty.
