We open at Auburn, which isn't a walk over, and every SEC jock sniffer had Johnson as a Heisman candidate last year. Louisville isn't a route and their QB destroyed Texas A&M in a Bowl Game last year. Cowherd is undervaluing Clemson's she duke and is handing out backhanded compliments...per usual.

About to go with a TD because of the, seemingly obvious, foreign language, but since you were astute enough to catch it and repair it, you get the TU. Nice recovery from a phantom spelling gremlin.

Orange checkerboard patterns apparently have an hypnotic effect on sports writers.

Think they have 17 starters returning, i may be wrong

But I swear I read that. They had 4 losses all by 7 points or less? They blew games and can't figure out which restroom to use. Guess they feel that mistakes will be corrected. I know I read about the blown big lead to our punching bag okie. And playing bama tough.

Yep, and I've heard similar excuses from usuc fans in past years, too. UT must show me something, before I buy and drink that Koolade.

I don't either. All year we've heard this tripe. My gut says that Tennessee will faulter, as usual. They want to be orange, but their true color seems to be somewhat tainted yellow.

Peoples used to says the same about Clemson faultering eventually in a season - and Clemson would oblige. I'm talking about the annual defeats to Scar and FSU.
People kept waiting for Clemson varsity football team to put it all together and they have done so. It's not too much of a stretch to think that it is Tennessee's turn to get their ducks in a row.
On another note, I think it is just a foregon conclusion that Clemson varsity football wil face Oklahoma varsity football in the year three college football championship. I have to think Boomer Sooner is getting tired of seeing regalia and Clemson Orange.

I agree with his top 10 for the most part. Not used to saying that about Cowherd.

Look at the schedule, more cupcakes on that schedule than at a 2 year old birthday party.

That will play a factor in the end, but I only considered what they have accomplished lately (not much), and they always get those accolades because of past (distant past) history of being top tier elite program. I expect you are more all over it than I.

I don't think the Vols defense is there yet but offense is good and they have a good SEC schedule. They will win the East but don't count out Florida or Georgia. Our destiny rests on our defensive play ...we gave up WAY TOO MANY points in the Championship game ...gotta do better in big games like that.
