PERCEPTION: TENNESSEE, COMING OFF A BYE, IS A TRENDY UPSET PICK TO WIN IN ATHENS
Based on talent and program development under Butch Jones, most of us expect the Vols to win a game they’re ‘not supposed to win’ this season in the SEC East, similar to last year’s nailbiting finish against South Carolina. Quarterback Justin Worley is off to a hot start and Tennessee’s had two weeks to prepare for its conference opener in Athens. If last season’s game is any indication, this rivalry could come down to the wire.

REALITY: GEORGIA IS MORE TALENTED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL AND HAS AN EAST TITLE TO WIN
This one’s a must-win for the Bulldogs if they plan on staying in the championship picture and I’d expect them to play like it. The line opened at 19.5 points which seems a bit high, but I could see Georgia covering since Todd Gurley could have his way against a mid-level rush defense. This matchup’s biggest edge comes at the line of scrimmage where Georgia’s front seven has a chance to feast on Tennessee’s crop of newcomers up front. Leonard Floyd and Amarlo Herrera off the blitz could pose problems.

Sounds about right. If we go down there and win most people would be shocked or at least very surprised.

SDS are a bunch of morons. Don't listen to them.

They have a quota of 97 articles per day and they all say something like "Here's the 5 biggest reasons why water is wet"

Where has Tennessee been trending to upset? Not anywhere I have seen. Plenty of bulletin board material this week for the VOLS. Should be playing with a huge chip all day.

Didn't SDS predict us to win?

Let me clear this one up for all of you. SDS does not hate anyone. As the guy in the video with Cousin Ty who called the upset, a grad of UT and the team's beat writer for SDS, I'll let you know that our staff has differing opinions. But for the record-- and my bias aside-- our staff would rather UT be good again to get more page views than miss a bowl every year. So yeah, I picked Tennessee and my colleagues didn't. It's all a matter of opinion. No one hates anyone...But if you want more pro-UT articles, I suggest clicking the Tennessee page rather than the SEC one

Let me clear this up. I'm looking but still haven't found it anywhere in my post where I said that SDS hates us.

PERCEPTION: WATER IS WET
Water is a liquid, and liquids are the substances we use to describe and define the word 'wet'. If something has water on it, it is considered wet; 'wet' is a definable property of water.

REALITY: WATER IS NOT WET
While the definition of 'wet' is essentially "something covered in water", a water molecule itself is not wet. Something can be made wet by covering it with a solvent liquid - such as water - but in molecular form, water is not 'wet'.

:good!:

I do want more pro UT articles, but I expect all articles to be pro UT articles no matter where I click.

Fix it for me?

Perception: SDS is a knowledgeable and trustworthy source regarding SEC football.
Reality: they are as ignorant, if not more, than the average fan, and usually the writers don't bother to educate themselves on what they're talking about.

As far as bye weeks goes, it all depends on the team and chemistry. Some teams play well after bye weeks and play with a lot of energy. Some teams come out looking a little rusty and not playing at game speed.
