Good. Write us off. Tell us we shouldn't have gone to the playoffs. Tell us how our star QB tried to shake us down for money and got shown the door. Tell us how many interceptions the new QB will throw. Whatever makes us angry. Whatever works as fuel. Tell Georgia to count this game as a W. Tell Alabama that they'll get their revenge this year. Tell Florida that they are going to get back in the National picture after they beat us. This offseason has been the only time that I, as a fan, actually felt angry about the whole thing. I want to see our guys out there jacking people up. I want to see people getting up looking out their ear hole and blowing snot bubbles. I want them walking to the sidelines and then have to make sure they walked to the correct teams sidelines.

Dr. Green and White Analysis: How accurate are preseason rankings?

History shows that the teams in everyone's preseason top-five don't always end up there.

College Football Preseason Magazines

Information on college football preseason magazines. Reviews, consensus predictions, and comparisons of predictions to season results.
stassen.com

This page ranks the accuracy of the preseason magazines' conference predictions for 2024, by comparing them to conference finish.

Lower scores indicate more accurate predictions; the lower the score, the closer the predictions were to the actual results. Magazines are sorted by total score for all conferences, with the best predictions (lowest total scores) at the top. The best prediction for each conference/division is highlighted in the list. For information on the scoring method, see the notes file.

Over the past 10 years, a sample of 339 bowl games, the preseason Coaches poll predicted 59.9% of bowl game winners (163-109 with no prediction in 67 games with two unranked teams). The AP poll didn’t do much worse at 58.8% of winners (154-108 with no prediction in 77 games).

To put this in perspective, the team favored by the closing line in the gambling markets won 61.5% of games according to The Prediction Tracker (208-130 with no prediction in one game).

Josh should ask you to give the pre game speech in Atlanta.

I love it . Hell pick us 14th in the SEC. Put a copy in every locker, every weight bench, put it on the score board in Neyland during scrimmages . I’m all for manufacturing outrage and motivation.

Maybe #32 in Offense, sure.

Thanks prognosticators! This team could benefit from some disrespecting, preseason under-rating, bulletin board material in the weight room and on the gate to the practice field.

(I wonder if there are psychological studies on performance differences between proving people wrong or proving people right?)

This should really fire up our football program. I look for a 9-3 regular season.

An old Captain of mine has a phrase for weather forecasts. The same phrase is applicable here:
SWAG

Scientific
Wild
Ass
Guess

Some nerd is drumming up articles to keep us busy until the season starts.
I believe the Vols will be on the good side of that number and then some!!!
