I'm just amazed at the odds makers.
Alabama was favored by 37 and won by 38

No, what would have been amazing would have been if they had won by 36.

Last year at this time - people called Harbaugh the 2nd best coach in all of college football.
Some even muttered it at the start of the year.
Whom has he beat - exactly? His numbers are almost exact carbon copies of Brady Hoke's.

Yes, but no one does a better job of looking puzzled/pissed at calls.

the difference between Kentucky basketball and Tennessee football, is that UK is a threat to win a championship almost every year, while UT is not in football. As soon as UT fans realize that, and can face the fact that in most years Alabama is going to beat them, and accept a 9 win season as being good, they might get back on track up there in Knoxville. Until then, a good coach probably isn't going to want the job.
There going to have to have a 9 win season first. Not going to happen this year, and even making a bowl with 6 wins is looking shaky. Tennessee still has games with Kentucky, Southern Miss, Missouri, LSU and Vanderbilt. I don't see them beating LSU, which means they'd have to take 3 of the other 4. That's possible, but I'll believe it when it happens. They'll have to start scoring touchdowns on offense for starters. They should beat Kentucky, Missouri, Southern Miss. and Vandy. I said should, as nothing in the SEC is written on stone.

Well, My WVU Mountaineers almost gave their game away to Baylor. Your Mountaineers and my Cowboys are going to go at it this Saturday in Morgantown. I hope it's an early kickoff. That'll keep the locals from getting too loaded up on moonshine. It'll be a real tough game for us. Not sure what the line is but it wouldn't surprise me to learn WV is favored.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

They should beat Kentucky, Missouri, Southern Miss. and Vandy. I said should, as nothing in the SEC is written on stone. I agree that they should beat all those teams, I'm just not sure they will. We'll see. Tennessee's OT win over Georgia Tech was respectable enough, but their two other wins were over U Mass and Indiana State, who are currently a combined 1-13.

Update: Tennessee lost to Kentucky to go 3-5. This means that they are going to have to beat all three of Southern Miss, Missouri and Vanderbilt in order to get 6 wins for a bowl appearance. They had better beat Southern Miss, but I'm not sure about beating Missouri AND Vandy. We'll see.

What a beautiful thing! All is great in the SEC these days! Bama and UGA at the top of their divisions and national polls! UT right where they deserve to be, at the bottom and trying to figure out how in the hell they're gonna get past Vandy!

UT right where they deserve to be, at the bottom and trying to figure out how in the hell they're gonna get past Vandy! it could well be that the sec championship game will be a proxy for the national championship. as well as it should be. of course anything could happen between now and then, but it's shapin' up to be a barn burner. i'll have to admit that the Tide is an odd's on favorite, but stranger things have happened. the dawgs first year true freshman qb from WarTown is definitely raising some eyebrows.

After a quick review, the SEC is 34-6 vs. non-conference opponents. A winning percentage of 85%. Those teams at the bottom of the SEC standings still have a winning record outside of the conference.

A list of those non-conference opponents would be interesting, as it would be for all conferences.

The answer is that they're not, at least not as much as they were a few years ago. Once upon a time Alabama, LSU and Georgia could beat anybody and Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Mississippi State were not far behind. Now LSU is recovering, and the other three have dropped a notch or two. Still a strong conference, but not at the dizzying heights it once was. Even at the conference's peak Vanderbilt was low on the totem pole and Tennessee hasn't been a national threat for a decade.
