"Vols are the SEC's most underrated team in the preseason"

[VOL Outlaw]

I never mind the underdog role but is Tennessee really that underrated?

Tennessee's players reps all said versions of the same thing this week. They're using the lack of summer love in various polls and power rankings as serious motivation. Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU and Missouri have all been slotted ahead of Tennessee in most preseason projections across the conference, but only three of those schools have consecutive top-20 finishes like Josh Heupel's program. The Vols plugged a hole in their offensive line with former LSU offensive tackle Lance Heard and refreshed the back end of the defense with other additions.

EA Sports didn’t have them as a top 25 team so yeah they’re underrated.

Yessir. Yes, we are.

But that's okay, we won't be under-rated at the end of the season.

Go Vols!

Intriguing because I keep reading that my Gators are the most underrated team in the SEC, if not the country.

You know what this means -- football season is upon us!

Lmao no one outside of Florida is saying that. If y’all go 7-5 Napier deserves a statue.

The football pundits are wondering if my Sooners can get 7 wins.

Don't care as long as one of them isn't against us

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Rather be starting the season disrespected as to having a target on you right out of the gate. Proving the experts wrong is always more fun.

No mature UF fan expects this to be a premiere season. Next year is the year we have to show major progress.

How can you have the next year expectations with a brand new coach? Saban coming out of retirement?

 

[VOLfrombama]

i love the lack of respect. I hope it makes them hungrier!

 

[JohnWardForever]

EA Sports? Never heard of them. Therefore Irrelevant, and certainly not a game changer.

Major progress next season with a new coach in his first year? Yall are expecting a lot.

The gators will be so so much better than their win/loss shows end of season. Greatest 4-8 team ever type thing. I'm sorry for the schedule.

 

[superdave1984]

The football pundits are wondering if my Sooners can get 7 wins.

I don't understand this. OU is gonna be good, real good. The issue is they got the cast iron schedule. I think 7 wins would be the floor and only if y'all get the injury bug.

Literally every single college football player plays that game. You don’t think this football team is going to see the disrespect and use that as motivation?

I could see that being the top motivator. They want to see EA bump the team after proving they should.

A video game. Get over it. It’s not reality.
Don’t judge reality off a video game. Or if you do, base it off Minecraft. That is real stuff.

This college kids see video games as the gospel. Try to convince them video games don’t matter. There are teenagers making millions of dollars playing video games. That is the reality we live in.

Hopefully. But not long enough to get rid of Billy

 

[VFL9798]

The offense is hard to read. If Nico is what we think he is we are a 10-2 team, if not we are 8-4 7-5

 

[IndianaVol]

My knee jerk reaction here was we are about 3 spots low...but, knowing that basically Nico and the offense is still a relative unknown and the Secondary is going to be beat up, then 7 isn't all that far off.
I would still have us ahead of LSU and maybe even Mizzou.

 

[Volintheswamp]

Preseason polls are stupid. Nobody knows what will happen. Every team is undefeated until they aren’t.
