Vols 19, Bulldogs 14
Tennessee has broken the recent “Georgia curse” with a stunning win in Athens, shunning the oddsmakers who predicted a 12.5 point Bulldog victory. In a very sloppy game where penalty-wrought Georgia went back and forth with a Tennessee team who missed three field goals, the Vol defense picked themselves up from last week’s pasting and became a force to be reckoned with.
The Vols played today like a team that wants a rematch with Auburn in December. It’s a long road to get there, so they need to remember the vigor with which they played today. I know my orange blood is boiling with hope for revenge…
Well, as a Virginia fan I hope that the Vols kick Auburn’s butt in a rematch. Because of the stupid BCS system there could easily be 3 or more undefeated teams at the end of the regular season (OU is solid and USC might make it through without a loss … if UVa beats FSU on Saturday then the winner of UVA-Miami has a good shot at going undefeated … and then there’s Auburn, and don’t even get me started on Utah or Boise State or Navy, which could go 11-0 if they beat Notre Dame on Saturday). We really, really need a playoff system.
