It all changes tomorrow

It all changes tomorrow

If we weren’t so worried about making the playoffs, we’d have a ton of fun with Heupel as our coach. Everyone has to worry when Josh Heupel’s team comes to town.

15 of 22.

If I had this attitude before my team played I'd just stop watching sports entirely.What's the point?

We beat a Top 15 team on the road just last year (#15 Oklahoma). And we beat a Top 10 at home, again just last year (#7 Bama).

We beat #17 Iowa at a neutral site (bowl game) the year before.

We beat #3 Bama at home the previous year. And #7 Clemson at neutral site (bowl game) the very same year.

In other words, we can win on the road. And we can beat Top 10 teams.

This is a carefully bound combination of requirements meant to make it look like we don't have a good football program. We most certainly do.

Trolls, go home.

Go Vols!

There you go again! Bringing facts to an opinion fight.

Probably shouldn't watch it then

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

How many of them are Bama, UGA, and UF?

Probably all of them

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Yep more than likely that will streak will continue tomm night but we will have another chance to end that next month at Florida

 

[volfan102455]

The interesting thing is that Tennessee has played a lot of top 10 teams on the road between 2009 and now. There were a couple of years (2013 and 2014) where we played 3 both those years.

Interesting stat - during the same time frame, Georgia played 14 top 10 teams on the road and was 4-10.

Florida will not be ranked in the top 10 when we play them

 

[volfan102455]

I look at it this way - we are overdue for a win against a top 10 team on the road.

But let's not pretend that other teams are world beaters on the road when playing a top 10 team. They aren't.

 

[zeppelin128]

What is everybody else's record against top 10 teams on the road?

Tennessee doesn't exist in a vacuum, I'd wager the vast majority of teams have a pretty shoddy record against elite teams on the road...

Also, LSU in 2022 was ranked in the top 10 the first four weeks and reached as high as #5 in the playoff rankings before losing @A&M and then losing to UGA in the SECCG.

 

[landscapingvol]

How many of them are Bama, UGA, and UF?

I would guess nearly all of them. Very few teams have beaten Georgia and Alabama on the road

 

[Power_Sweep_Vol]

Indiana being 1-72 vs top 5 or top 10 teams- I forget which it was- before last week's win at Oregon was an all time crazy stat.

I swear it works. Every game that I think that we should win handily (minus FCS opponents) is close. Every game that I think we will likely lose is close in our favor or we win. So in that case, it’s a drury day, we might as well not even show up, etc etc.
