This realization has become clear over this offseason. Florida has won 2 of the past 4 BCS titles. Bama is the defending national champ, and these 2 teams together now comprise the marquee rivalry in college football today. Both are on top of the college football world.
Meanwhile on the Hill, this is the lowest I can ever remember the program. As if the on-field results haven't been bad enough (and likely to continue/worsen), you have the Pilot robbery, Kiffin departure, Brown fiasco, bar brawl, Hostessgate, and NCAA threat.
Now, while ESPN has basically become All-Alabama all the time, Tennessee gets a quick airtime to basically say they don't want to play North Carolina in future seasons. If things weren't bad enough on their own, when put in relation to the current momentum of these 2 rivals, it only worsens the situation in Knoxville.
For those who jump on and blast me for posting this: get in line. But it is truth, and if something doesn't give in the next 2 years, UT will be left behind.
