Sure Tenn will win this game by 10'ish+ but... this is a Florida team who lost to Eastern Washington. That EW team lost to AAC cellar dweller SMU. By 16 points.
I realize it's a bit of a thin "six degrees of separation" but SMU was on a 14 game losing streak before beating UCF. My point is that if Florida is roughly equivalent to SMU (even though they lost to a team SMU beat), Can you imagine UCONN struggling to put SMU away??
Memphis is light years better than SMU, and without Stokes, Tuck or Stewie, UCONN pummeled them by 46.
I get that Tenn keeps winning, and really, who else are you going to rank ahead of them (maybe only Florida State - they gave ND a better game than Tenn did)? But seriously?? They were losing the game till about 12 minutes left in the 2nd half.
Serious question for any Tennessee fans - is it just playing down to the level of the competition? Lack of focus by the players? Lack of coaching preparation? Given the lack of really strong teams in WCBB, I do think it's fair that Tenn is in the top 10 but are their fans even the least bit surprised/worried?
