It is time we stop claiming Florida and Pittsburgh as good wins

We pretty much own Florida over the past two decades, so you're right.

Yeah since the Florida team from 2022 and the Tennessee team from 2022 is the exact same coaches and players from 2017...

Honestly...

You are like the reporter who asked Hyatt about how good it was to finally beat Alabama after 16 years and Hyatt immediately pivoted to how he had only played Alabama the past two years in his response.

Pitt in retrospect I can agree with though I think winning on the road in P5 is still a decent achievement.

UF is a mid caliber SEC team which is never a gimme especially with our history against them, that to me is still a good win. They still have a lot of talent.

FL is a good win for TN even if they went 0-12 for the year.

Pitt is a decent team that we played on the road in week 2. We’ve gotten better and they’ve gotten worse. Why are we supposed to be ashamed of that?

Good grief people.

FL lost three games to a Top 5 team, and two soon- to-be Top 15 teams. LSU may end up winning the SECwest. Utah could win the P12 lol

**Edit They beat a potential P12 Champion and lost to KY a good Top 25 team

Both teams suck

Pittsburgh lost to Georgia Tech and is about to lose to Louisville to fall 4-3

Florida is 4-3 and about to be 4-4

Those games are actually embarrassing that we didn't beat both teams by 3+ TDs.

After what this program has been through the past decade, any win is a "good" win. Maybe stop looking for the negatives in all the good happening this season? You are starting to sound like me from a few years ago.

I didn't say that I wasn't exciting, I just think we need to show more humility. It took overtime to beat a mediocre ACC team. Maybe SEC isn't as strong as we think since Pitt was able to slow our offense down, something no one in the SEC has been able to do to date.

You could argue Clemson with wins over Wake, Syracuse, NC State, and Florida State. TCU also won at Oklahoma State and beat Kansas State.

You think wins over Kansas state and ok state are better than wins over Lsu and Alabama? Lol….
Also, you say Clemson win over fsu is good but our win over Florida isn’t?
Both Florida and fsu are 4-3. So why is fsu considered a good win but Florida not? And again, wins over Lsu in Death Valley and against Alabama are better than wins against wake forest and Syracuse.
Seems you’re bending over backwards trying to discredit Tennessee’s wins, but at the same time want to tell us a win over 4-3 fsu is good or wins over wake forest and Syracuse are arguably better than Tennessee’s wins over bama and Lsu and Florida. Kind of embarrassing dude 😂

We’ve beaten everyone we’ve played! I humbly announce we’re 7-0 and have taken care of business one game at a time and come out victorious! Better?

A lot happens during a season. Teams change, circumstances cause team chemistry to be off, injuries happen, and so on. At the time we played both of these teams, they were good football teams, realistically ranked in my opinion and we beat them both and knocked them out of their ranking. I think that matters and, in the case of Florida, it just really doesn’t matter that “we barely won” simply because we had only won once in the past 16 years and last year they blew this team out in the second half.

I am convinced some people are already bored with being good again so they sit at home and try to think of something to gripe about. I couldn’t care less if these wins are considered good wins. We’ve played every game on the schedule and we’ve won them all. As the season goes on, some teams that were good, get worse. Sometimes it’s injuries and sometimes players quit, etc. I don’t care. That Florida team beat a quality Utah team. That LSU team seems better than I thought at the time while Pitt is worse than I thought at the time, so it goes both ways. We’ve won them all and beat at least 2 good teams, with 2 ranked teams coming up and the likelihood of USC jr being ranked. Our resume is better than any one else’s resume.

You should have really thought this through before you posted this ignorance. And what do you mean "WE", which position did you play?

They are not. I don't see them bragging about those being ranked matchups.

I don't see anyone on here bragging about beating Pittsburgh. In fact, you are the only one talking about that game at all. Why are you bringing up two wins from September, when Tennessee has beaten LSU and Alabama in October ?

You come across as yet another Fake Vol Fan troll, who is trying to minimize Tennessee's strength of schedule.
