I agree that Tennessee appears to be in trouble right now. No, I don't have any "facts" either, but the lack of discipline and character exhibited regularly by the Vols shows a breakdown. That Peach Bowl loss was an embarrassment to the entire conference, and who cares if they "wanted" to be in that bowl game? When a team with character goes to a bowl, they try to win it.
True about the Georgia Shortage of players, and all those players have been heading to Athens(besides Calvin Johnson) which I think is a great thing, keeping in state talent. And Georgia I believe is rated as the #4 state in the country for High School talent behind California, Texas, and Flordia.
