If you look at how the season has played out. Bama doesn't look to tough. They lost at home to UGA then on the road to FL St. They barely beat an Ark. team that is in a tailspin, and barely get by Houston and Ol'miss. Their schedule and what they have done so far is not that impressive to me.

Granted Tennessee hasn't done much either. But they did drill UGA. And also beat a decent Miss. St team on the road. Lost to Cal and UF. Two pretty good teams and beat some cupcakes. But their is no doubt they have looked like a better team than Bama.

Saban is decent coach. Yea, he won half a NC at LSU. But no coach in the SEC will ever dominate. The leauge is to tough. Bama's hopes seem a little high to me.

Tennessee - 31
Bama - 17

In the SEC you can't compare scores against common opponents and get any idea of who will win on any given day. For example, LSU thrashed South Carolina...who in turn beats Kentucky pretty soundly...who in turn beat LSU in over time...Bama will give UT all they want and then some..but I think Bama has a better D than UT.

Bama is young also. We have a lot of growing up to do.
We will lose 7 Sr`s all together on both sides of the ball after this year. We have a total of 11 fr and soph. starters on both sides of the ball as well.

UTs O is much better than Bama's D. Bamas O is a little better than UTs D. Im going 34-17 Vols.

Based on what? Ark. shredded Bama. We gave up a ton of big plays agaist Cal and UF. Again two top five teams (or at least top five talented teams) We shut down UGA. Did Bama?

South Carolina played LSU pretty tough. Lsu got a fake field goal and some turnovers or its a different game. There is no doubt South Carolina, LSU, Kentucky, UF, and Auburn have pretty good teams. Tennessee and Bama still have to prove it.

But from watching both teams play Tennessee is more talented on both sides of the ball. But you are right that doesn't mean a win. You never know in the SEC. I just don't see them stopping Ainge and Foster, Hardesty if they can't stop UGA.

UGA is the only team UT has shut down this year.

**VOL61** · October 18th, 2007, 01:14 PM

Do you think UT wins?

**sup-rbeast** · October 18th, 2007, 01:14 PM

Nope.

**VOL61** · October 18th, 2007, 01:15 PM

I don't think UT wins out but I do think they win Sat. I guess that is why they play'em.

This is a big game in my family. We live for the Bama/UT game. Out of all my family who are football fans it runs right down the middle, half Bama fans and the other half UT fans. Should be a good time of BBQ and refreshments.
