I honestly believe there's a decade-long cumulative "fool me once ..." effect happening, and I can understand it. Every time "we" were given the super respect of high placement in the polls, Tennessee has, for several years and various reasons, met that vote of confidence with a loud thud.
This is not cool with voters. They are now probably waiting to see if they beat Connecticut, LSU and South Carolina before they're going to go down THAT road again with Tennessee! lol
It is what it is. Hoping for at least one win out of those three. Two would be a dang miracle.
