Title: Re: CBS Sports ranks every SEC team for 2025 Post by: volsboy on May 20, 2025, 08:19:57 EDT Heupel needs to up his recruiting game and Vols backers need to open checkbooks. Not going to compete with teams with multiple 5* players with his 3*-4* roster. We will be an average SEC team unless this happens. The favorable schedule might make us look better than we are again. Anyone think otherwise?

[/quote That's a pretty sad state of affairs. Why would an athletic department do that? Why would we watch much Vols football if a championship is not strived for, or supported and funded. Do we want that? Football brings in the most revenue. Why not go all out to win? You might not be wrong about it though. Title: Re: CBS Sports ranks every SEC team for 2025 Post by: Tnphil on May 21, 2025, 01:37:21 EDT IMO...we will be inline with Ole Miss...Ark...Auburn...than we will the Bama's....UGA's....Texas's etc. We will be in the mix for the playoffs every few years. Tennessee had the highest budget for recruiting but yet were were down the rankings in the SEC. We will need to adjust to that fact.
Title: Re: CBS Sports ranks every SEC team for 2025 Post by: volsboy on May 21, 2025, 05:57:29 EDT Team (Vols) with four 5* players is not going to beat a team (Buckeyes) with 16 5* players very often. My question is why can't we get more 5* players? UGa, Texas, Bama damn sure can. If we ever get a schedule that has them all on it, it won't be good.

LSU is, as usual, overrated. I have seen enough of that coach in the SEC to know he should have stayed at Notre Dame. :nod: |
