IceColdDrPepper_Here	10	Saturday's game was a game between 2 great teams that unfortunately one could win, and Tennessee got the short end of that stick. They'll get healthier throughout the season and don't be shocked if there's a rematch with Georgia in Atlanta.

Zef_Apollo	11	This is my first ranking of the season and I don't know where I would have placed Tennessee prior to this week but they were a missed field goal away from beating UGA. I think this team is surprisingly really good, maybe better than last year. However, I acknowledge the Neyland Stadium voodoo that's apparently enough to make a game close but not guarantee a win. They don't have any super impressive wins and I know, I know - quality loss but Tennessee looked really, really good for a lot of the game.
