I love it when analysts say 'This team does not look like the #9 team in the country'. Well, did it ever occur to them that the #23 team is the one that does not look like the #23 team?

And Pepsei... I had my hands on two lower level tickets at face value and couldn't find anyone to go so I had to say no to the purchase. If only I had hit up ATOT first! :p

ok i'm going to have to retract my remark saying "cal is clearly the better team". This isn't an issue of homefield advantage anymore, but rather being outplayed in every way possible.

So will this be chalked up as an overrated team or will Tennessee actually be rewarded? I'll tell you this, it is pretty much the same TN team as last year except that the WR and RB are actually getting yardage after the initial contact. You've heard them comment about how huge the WR are but last year it was catch then immediately tackled or run out of bounds. Cutcliffe has worked some sort of magic here imho.

Well, ranking don't really mean anything unless you end up undefeated after starting off at some lower rank and two other teams go undefeated. Auburn comes to mind. I don't expect this team to go undefeated but the schedule is definately favorable this year as far as home games go.

Pac 10 always looks like crap against the the better conferences (SEC, Big 12, etc). The only ones who show up these days are USC and UCLA.
