4 – Tennessee – 4-0 (1-0) – Up Two

It’s hard to believe that the Volunteers are 4-0, but you have to give them credit for their ability to come back in games.

Being down 21-0 to Florida and that defense I turned the game off thinking it was over. I guess I should know better now with this Tennessee team.

I still think there are a lot of problems on offense for Tennessee, but that defense is pretty much impossible to score on in the second half of games.

They don’t get to relax very long though as they have to go to Athens this weekend and Kyle Field the following weekend before hosting Alabama.

It will be nearly impossible for Tennessee to come out of that stretch of games without a loss.

3 – Ole Miss – 2-2 (1-1) – Even

It’s amazing to think about what could have been with this Ole Miss team. They held 21 point leads over Florida State and Alabama before blowing both of those games.

Then they come out last week and absolutely destroy Georgia.

Had they beaten Florida State or Alabama this would still be a top 10 team with a chance to make the College Football Playoffs.

I thought they might fold after that loss to Alabama, but they came out throwing haymakers against Georgia showing they have a lot left to prove.

This is a very scary team going forward, and could wind of ruining some seasons for other teams.

They have a revenge game against Memphis this weekend before back-to-back road games against Arkansas and LSU respectively.

Next: Texas A&M and Alabama
