Which 2 do you prefer, if we go 10-2?

[VFL-82-JP]

So this hypothetical starts with an assumption: assume we will go 10-2 this fall.

Question is: which two do we beat, of the biggest four challenges?

And by biggest four, I mean: Oklahoma, Florida (just because of the psych factor of that series), Bama, and Georgia.

To get to 10-2, we gotta beat (at least) two of those four. So which would you most prefer?

...

I'm gonna go with Bama and Florida. Biggest rivals of my lifetime, even if Florida is way down lately, and Bama is a bit of an unknown with a new coach.

Naturally, I'm hoping for us to go 12-0, or at worst 11-1. But if we GOT to temper our appetites, which 2 of those 4 would you most want Ws over?

Go Vols!

I mean given the choice you can’t lose to Florida or Bama. Arguments can be made about a Georgia win but I can’t bring myself to hate Georgia as much as Florida or Bama.

Pull up a chair and I’ll talk you into it.

 

[knoxvol52]

Chattanooga and Kent State.

 

[Tman44]

I prefer to keep all options open. So lets not assume we lose any games.

 

[reecetn]

keep it simple 15-0

 

[VolnGermany]

I’ll be happy starting 10-2, say beating OU and the Gators, then beating the other two in the SEC Championship game and in the CFB Playoffs.

 

[chuckiepoo]

keep it simple 15-0

16-0. Ya left out the SECCG.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Whichever helps our case for making the CFP the most. Does a home loss to a what is supposed to be a mediocre Florida team mean more to the committee than beating OU on the road? Florida might be a better team than last year, but they still could go 5-7 or 6-6 bc of their schedule. IMO, we have to beat UF at home and Bama w/ a new coach to make the CFP.

Hating Bama is in my DNA. Admittedly I hate them more with their recent success and the infusion of bandwagon trash fans in state and in the region. They’re unquestionably more despised than anyone else imo.

Florida is second. I don’t know that I have to expound. Piss bombs and jorts to the sound of Gary Danielson verbally making love to Tim Tebow. The snarky douche baggery of Urban Meyer during their run and the constant barbs of Spurrier.

Sorry I despise Georgia and their slobbering butt sniffing fans but it just doesn’t surprise those other two scum of the earth programs or fan bases.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I chose OK and UGA to hand OK their first SEC loss as an SEC school and UGA to put them down a peg.

 

[stolitonic]

I'm gonna go with Georgia and Bama simply for the statement factor.

Beating a bad UF team and a meh Sooners team? I'll take down the big dogs and rationalize a couple of bad losses.

[Brave Volunteer]

OK and Georgia. I'd rather us win our home games and not lose to our 2 biggest rivals.

My exact thought. I may hate florida more than the dawgs but the dawgs are quickly rising up the hate scale. I can not bring my self to put above florida. they are stuck in 4th. Unlike most vols,I hate kentucky more than anyone but the cousin humpers.

 

[Zues1]

10-2 will most probably mean we win in Norman.
Let's start with that one.

We won’t gain ground on GA and AL if we don’t beat them. We will surely help FL and OK recover if we lose to them. Gotta go with the home field wins.

 

[SuwaneeGAVOL]

Amen
I never thought a team could pass Alabama in Florida in my hate factor, but Georgia did it rather easily.

 

[vol94]

Oklahoma as it sets the tone of the year. Plus I’m going to the game, so I’m being a bit selfish. And Florida would be a bad loss, imo.

Losing to Bama and UGA won’t be bad losses and we could redeem ourselves in the playoffs.

 

[Volizona]

Any combination including Florida is the wrong choice. Would be inexcusable to lose to them this year. We need a 1990 style beat down on them this year to get the stench of the last 30 years out. Disgusts me how we find ways to lose to them every year.

 

[VOLfrombama]

Bama and UGAly and its not even close for me

I see you have not met my in-laws.

Don’t care

10-2 works no matter what
