Who is more overrated?

[checkerboard_charly]

what do yall think? both had big aspirations. and neither has come through.

 

[General Jack]

VOLS.

gator have the ability to score and play decent special teams.

We have neither.

 

[duckman398686]

i choose us. we had national title expectations. florida might have had these expectations 2 for some people, but they had a new coach coming in. we were supposed to be at least experienced.

3 to probably unranked says it all.

yeah.

Tough one. If the vote is for underachieving, I'd go with UF. For overrated, its too close to call. Your schedule is brutal. UF has Ga. next week. Shockley-less?

Would have been nice if Ark. had pulled that game out. Then UF, despite its shortcomings all year, could have taken the SEC East lead with a victory over Ga.

 

[tvolsfan]

tenn underachieves more then gators lawgator. i have never seen this much wasted taent on offense.

 

[USAF_Vol]

I voted for us. Please do not strip my orange. We have been embarrasing.

 

[GAVol]

CBC, sadly this is a really good question. I think it's a wash, but we look worse because of who we've been playing.

 

[Chingchongchang]

This is lame. Florida beat our sorrry a$$e$. We are 2-3 and easily could be 1-5. We are a joke.

Close call.

Florida's expectations were to come in this season and compete for a division and possibly a conference title. Fell short, but didn't look too bad on the way. The offense needs more work, but then again Chris Leak lacks about every asset Meyer wants in a QB for his system. So it's okay for Florida, Meyer is in his first year and has time to get on his feet.

Tennessee, however, was touted as having some of the best talent in the country, possibly even second only to the Men of Troy themselves. While not heavily favored, our guys were believed to have an edge in taking the SEC as we were supposed to be the only team in the SEC without any glaring problems. That promise has since turned into a floundering conference record and the offense has gone from a supposed slightly above par to terrible. It feels like Arian Foster is the only talented offensive football player enrolled at UTK.

So, both were pretty big dissappointments but I think the Vols have definitley been among the most dissappointing teams in the country. Not quite as bad as Oklahoma, but along there with Michigan and the like.

Nope, it ain't TN - it's the swamp lizards. You guys are giving everybody a good game - the lizard's came into the season claiming to be the "second coming" - the only problem is their coach never coached in the SEC - around the Orlando area most Tide fans call them the "urban decay"

Roll Tide

Milo...dont write the Gators off yet. We still have a shot at both of those. If UF loses next week it's over for sure though.

With DJ Shockley hurt, all bets are off in the SEC East. UGA is still in control, but it is very plausible that UGA could lose to Florida and Auburn and Florida could back into a trip to Atlanta.

Thinking about that last night made me sick to my stomach, not because its UF, but because UT still had plenty of opportunity if they had won either the UGA or FLA game.

 

[RockyTopEmpire]

i was thinking we were over rated before the season, i hate it when i am right!!!

How long is shockley out for? Anyone heard anything?

 

[GAVol]

They are saying that he won't require surgery, but will definitely miss the Florida game.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Vols! This is the worst UT team since 88.

We could have just as easily been 5-1 or 6-0. Most of us said this could be a tough season when we looked at the schedule before it all started. I don't understand why its such a shock now. We were mislead about the offense ad the special teams, or the breaks just haven't gone our way this year. However you want to look at it. We were in the UF game until about 6 minutes to go, in the UGA game until about 10 minutes to go, and in the Bama game until about 4 1/2 minutes to go. We couldn't ask more of the D, but if the O had done anything at all, we very easily could have been 6-0.
