The Old Ball Coach does it again.

Man, how overrated was Tennessee this year. A top 5 team , and they are 3-4 now. Ouch.

**pags11** · 10-29-05, 11:25 PM

Spurrier always plays this guys tough...it was a great game...

Played USC +7 1/2 1st H, should have played them 2nd half. Tenn. at 3-4?

Yep. Bowl hopes are closing fast.

Overated teams this year here's your working list:

Tenn
Purdue (got extreme luck b/c they don't have to play OSU and MICH this year...but it looks like they might go 0-8 anyway)
Arizona St
Michigan St
Michigan
Iowa
Oklahoma
Louisville

**onlooker** · 10-30-05, 12:39 PM

Michigan should top that list, and Oklahoma a close second, with Tennessee thrid. But then again, you can put either one in that order and its legit.

Very good list. Iowa stands out as well. They were supposed to run the table this year. Michigan can be 2-7 then win a huge game and still be in the top 25.

**SBR_John** · 10-30-05, 03:16 PM

Good list BB although I dont think Mich St was over rated. They did not come in as a top 10 team but had some great games. They are a good team but they have been caught sleeping.

Personally I thought Tenn was loaded from A to Z so to me that is the shocker of the 2005 season. I also thought Michigan would be top 8 material. The team that brought everyone back was Louisville and they are a head scratcher too.

True, and as a loyal Buckeye fan I hate Michigan. I see you all have a "Go Michigan" smilie for this forum. I would love to see it removed...hint, hint.

so anyone like S. Carolina this week?...

**Razz** · 10-31-05, 03:33 AM

Set-up game of the week: Tennessee + @ Notre Dame.

Tennessee has more talent than Notre Dame, and is one of the best dogs in the nation. The Vols have revenge, and will be plenty motivated here.
Notre Dame defense is weak, and the Vols will be able to score enough to at least cover, if not win. On the other side, Tennessee still has a dominant defense.
GP will be all over Notre Dame (so I will wait to bet this), and Sunday morning they will be asking themselves how the hell they lost straight up.

**pags11** · 10-31-05, 03:46 AM

yeah, we will probably see +10 by kickoff...perhaps...

I'll be on Tenn and probably a small play on Tenn ML this week.

**pags11** · 10-31-05, 05:48 PM

I'm on S. Carolina here...big game for a bowl berth, 'cause they will have a tough time winning their next two (Florida, Clemson)...Spurrier's a smart coach, he knows this and should pull out all of the stops...
