Vols will do much better in 06

[sjt18]

I really don't think Bama is ready to take that final step back into the elite bracket. They have talent but also holes. Next year they'll be much better across the board with most of their o-line and defense back.

And, I think UT is very much going to step right back in... I am optimistic that they are going to surprise alot of people.

My opinion is that their two biggest opportunities for loss are LSU and UGA. UGA away actually concerns me a little more than LSU in K'ville though I think LSU is the better team.

This could still all go very bad if their confidence gets smashed early but I feel much better than I did.

I don't Alabama is ready either, and I didn't indicate they were. I have Alabama finishing 7-5. However, very rarely does Tennessee beat ANYONE by 21-28 points, much less Alabama.
