Our schedule:

[Grand Vol]

SIAP

And how anyone but ESPN could ever say such a thing...

"Tennessee has the third hardest schedule this year."

"Utah and Purdue have harder schedules than Tennessee."

I'm still attempting to wrap my head around how in the world they can:

A: Hire idiots who can't look at our schedule and see seven ranked teams we've played including three top 10 teams.

B: Make that claim on a prime time broadcast

Purdue: Three ranked teams played, one top 10 team (OSU)

Utah: Three ranked teams, two top 10 teams (Oregon, Stanford)

UT: Seven ranked teams, three top 10 teams (Alabama, Oregon, Mizzou) and a potential for one more (Auburn)

I'm not going to say ESPN hates us, but they seriously need to educate their sportscasters before they go on the air and make a fool of themselves.

They are just reporting, not evaluating

Think I saw we are the first team since 1993(?) to play 7 of 8 games in a row against top 25 teams. ( going back to Oregon)

Takes into account your skill level as well. I think they're saying Purdue's schedule is harder because they play a few decent teams and they are really really really really really bad.
