Rank these 2019 opponents from toughest to easiest. These games will be the test of how well our season goes and I want to see what Volnation thinks about our opponents.
1-Florida
5-Mississippi State
6-Vanderbilt
7-Kentucky
3-Missouri
4-South Carolina
2-BYU
9-Georgia State
8-UAB
10-Chattanooga
Miss State
Mizzou
South Carolina
BYU
Vanderbilt
UAB
Kentucky
Georgia State
Chattanooga
Though, I find it difficult to rank most of these teams this year as there's a lot more turnover than usual entering 2019. Miss State lost a lot of starters; same deal with Mizzou. Kentucky was good last year but I feel like they have the biggest talent dropoff of any team in the SEC in 2019.
UAB is better than people realize. That and the BYU games are not "gimmes" even if we're the favorite.
Mizzou landing Kelly Bryant was a big coup. They are further down the list without that.
Everybody ranking UAB way too low imo. If we don’t play very well vs them in Neyland, we’ll lose.
I think we’ll beat em too, certainly should. But people thinking they’re a walkover OOC team along the lines of UTC or ETSU are badly mistaken imo. Better be ready to play and play well or they’ll beat usI know, I've seen you say it several times, once "on record ". I'll go on record right now, and say I think we beat them!
First year back after re-establishing the program they won 8 games. Last year, after surprising everybody the season before, went 11-3 last year, after only 2 recruiting classes.Someone must have been at their practices and know something I dont about UABs second and third team last year, because that's all they got returning...
Next year UAB is replacing his leading passer, his top four wideouts, four starting offensive linemen, all three starting defensive linemen, four of his top five linebackers, and four of his top seven defensive backs. When he was putting together his zombie roster, he predictably leaned heavily into the JUCO ranks — you would, too, because the only other option was to hit the ground with a bunch of redshirt freshmen.
