With the Vols' 3 non-conference opponents for 2005 ALL being bowl teams in 2004... and 8-of-11 opponents being bowl eligible teams from 2004 (9-of-12 when counting the SEC title game)... I think that the strength of schedule favors Tennessee if multiple teams go undefeated in 2005.

I'm a 'Horns fan myself. I like to see them do well. Except I can't shake the feeling that one team in the Big XII will knock them off this season. A&M? Okie State? I dunno.
