I know they is already a predictions thread.
But let's get more specific.
They way CBJ is coaching this team up, I feel that we will upset atleast one team, maybe more..
My upset of the year will be Florida..
It's in the Swamp, they will be ranked, we would have just lost to the Ducks,
Haven't heard any good things about thier offense.
Of course haven't much about ours either.

Your assuming we get beat by the Ducks. They also have turn over and a new coach. We can only assume they keep thier identity and don't change their style of play. I am one that believes we have the talent to match up with anyone, our guys are being coached up by a legit coaching staff. Until the Vols lose a particular game, I believe we have a chance to win all games on our schedule. No one would have predicted ATM beating Bama, any given Saturday. This team deserves our unshakeable support and belief that thy can win. Just my thoughts. Go Vols!!

We are likely underdogs against Missouri and Vandie. I would say both are considered upsets......

If we can't win an sec game at home what makes you think we win at the swamp?

Is the last win at the swamp the time we through a miracle hail Mary? Without a hail Mary in that game
we likely lose. I hope we win in the swamp and if we do bUTch deserves coach of the year in sec talk.

Since this team has so much youth and inexperience at the skilled positions they will get better later in the season. So, I don't think they win against Oregon or Florida, not that I think we had much chance anyway. But might have a chance later in the season against UGA or USCe and especially against Missouri, Auburn and Vandy. I'm still thinking 6-6 or 7-5 with a slight chance of 8-4.

Nothing to this point in camp (and this can change) shows me we have anyone on our D and especially our secondary that can contain Oregon's QB (Mariota) and RB (Thomas).

I would like for it to me a real upset, not a hollow one. If Florida struggles this year and we beat them, i don't want to hear people talk about how Florida just wasn't that good. I say a real upset would be Oregon, Georgia, or Alabama.

When is the last time UF has played a non conference game during the season outside the state of Florida? Ummmm yeah...that's what I thought.

Why does people think we are a underdog to Missouri? Most preseason mags picks us ahead of Missouri and they were 5-7 last year also... yeah they beat us but Akron should have too with our weak ass 3-4 Sunseri Defense.

Come on now, unless you have been to several practices, and have years of experience at this level of football, I don't think you can tell "the way CBJ is coaching this team up." In actuality we have to wait till this team plays some games to judge how Butch is coaching them up. Coach interviews and the occational practice video mean exactly jack.

I trust the words of Johnny Majors and other former Vols who played at a championship level for HOF coaches. Even with Dooley....while making politically correct statements did take place with some, there were many rumblings of Dooley's tactics and treatment off former players. VN just didn't want to listen.

Put a circle around the Oregon game Vol fans.

It's going to be CBJ's and Team 117's coming out party. We may not win, but this mid-pack SEC team is going to put the fear into the Ducks in Autzen.

We match up well with the Ducks. We have the talent to beat them. For the first time since 2008, we have the coaching to do it too.

With FSU on the schedule every year, UF doesn't need to schedule OOC games outside of Florida. Our SOS is always solid and our recruiting base is primarily in-state.

If you're charged with running an athletic department fueled by football and basketball revenue, you play in the nation's toughest conference and your in-state rival is a national power, what sense does it make to schedule a home-and-home with Michigan?
