ESPN still sees no bowl for TN

[Neyland Law Vol]

ESPN predicts the bowls for all the SEC teams each week. They still see TN being one of only 3 sec teams to miss a bowl game this season. No love for Butch.

And yes this post includes the obligatory "ESPN Hates Us".

Can we prove them wrong?

 

[The Orange Pants]

Butch, please.

 

[RockyTop411]

South Alabama and Kentucky are almost penciled in wins. Auburn, Vanderbilt, and Missouri are the key. Can we win 2/3 of those? Right now, I don't know.

 

[EaglesVols91]

I like being the underdog. Makes it that much more fun when we prove others wrong.

auburn going bowling? wth

 

[WoodstockVol]

ESPN thinks Tennessee is sh*t. Tennessee will be going Bowling and it'll probably p*ss off ESPN's College Football experts.

 

[TAF]

Uh...have you heard?

ESPN HATES us!

 

[D.C. Vol]

Why is this so surprising? We've beaten the likes of Austin Pea and Western Kentucky in the friendly confines of Neyland Stadium. We'll find out everything we need to know about Tennessee in the coming weeks whether or not they're a bowl caliber outfit or not.

i see south ala ky and mizz all being easy wins auburn and vandy are a toss up and i like our chances of grabbing an upset so in my mind its hard to not get to a bowl. so yes espn hates us

Auburn beat two suckass teams at Auburn and should be getting the same treatment as Tennessee.

Schlabach says BBVA Compass vs Houston but he also picked WKU in an upset.

Edwards says Music City vs Ga Tech

Washington State>Western Kentucky

 

[TNBV]

Auburn beat two suckass teams at Auburn and should be getting the same treatment as Tennessee.

Washington St has a little more credibility than Western Kentucky right now.

No way Arkansas makes it to a bowl. Had trouble with Samford yesterday. I also have serious doubts about Ole Miss and Missouri as well. I say we have a BETTER shot than those three.

We will all 5 of those games.

 

[Gramps]

We play 5 top 12 teams , per yesterday's ranking. It will be an uphill battle but I think Butch may pull off a surprise win or two and we make a bowl.

I think Ole Miss goes 8-4(They will beat Texas in Austin this Saturday) while Missouri is no better than 4-8. I put Arkansas in the category as Missouri.

Texas is also the most overrated program out there next to USCw

Our schedule hates us!

 

[Stevorino]

nobody is going to change their prediction on TN until we beat a quality opponent.

 

[Dragon18]

Am I watching a different UT team play the first two weeks than the rest on here? I certainly think UT will win 6 games. I thought that prior to the season, but thought that would likely be the ceiling. After the first two games I feel like 7 games is very achievable. I have to think that many of you are shell shocked from the last 4 or 7 years of UT football and just don't want to look at what is going on with this team. Is there work to be done ? Sure! and we certainly have vulnerabilities. But I think this team is better than most of you are giving them credit for being.

If Worley doesn't improve real fast, our season could end in November again.

He needs to be a 200 yds/game type of QB at the minimum. We've gotta have at least some threat in the passing game.

 

[james_govols]

I hope we go bowling too. It's been a while since I got a turkey.

Why is Auburn getting such a break? They were worse than Tennessee last season and their opponents haven't been any better than Tennessee's. USC sucks and that is why They lost to Washington State last night.
