The Vols mens basketball team is predicted 13th out of 14 teams. I do not get with all the resources the Vols have, why can't we compete with schools that have a lot less?  Just a head scratcher.

How about we watch them play a few games before we declare they "can't compete"?  I happen to think this team will greatly exceed that prediction. 

If you haven't noticed, the SEC basketball media is usually pretty lazy with these picks.  Most have UK and UF penciled in as 1 and 2 no matter what, and the rest they just go by recruiting ratings.  Every.  Single.  Year.

I'd also leave Hart off, I think he was more or less neutral, but how in the name of God did you leave off Kiffin and Dooley???

By competing I hope you mean winning instead of just keeping the score close.
