They'll come back, Vol.  It'll just take some rebuilding and looking for some diamonds in the rough in regards to recruiting.  We all know that in days past they've had some very good teams...give'em time.  As for Kiffin...somebody should've pitched him off the top of Ol' Rocky Top,...he's where he needs to be...on the west coast far from the southeast. ;)

I watched the 2nd half of the Vols vs Vandy tonight.  Vol RB Poole got bounced around like a pinball.  The 4th quarter was exciting.  The Vols finally won a game!  Good for them.  Saw a lot of empty seats in the upper bowl. 

Maybe the Vols should have kept wonder boy Kiffen?  USC seems to be a pretty good team with Kiffen as coach; just beat the Ducks!

It's a sad commentary on the Vols that beating Vandy is considered an upset.

As for Kiffen, the next two-three years should be an interesting coaching challenge - that's when the pain of the scholarship reductions is going hurt. USC will still have a blue-chip starting lineup, but won't have any depth at all. Look what happened to the 'other' USC once Marcus Lattimore got injured.

True, but they finally got another one coached up thats doing pretty good-Brandon Wilds. Which is something they (Gamecocks) should have done in the first place. Everyone knew if it was a running play in went to Lattimore and a pass went to Jeffrey. Georgia sealed up the SEC East yesterday-I was really pulling for Kentucky to win that one and I thought they were going to.

UT and Vandy was a pretty good game ....A little heated towards the end as well.

I love football season nearly as much as swarm season :)

If LSU beats Arkansas I believe a rematch is in order with the tide. Pretty much the best two teams out there.

LOL.  Let’s scrap the BCS and let Yahoo rank the teams for us  :-D

At the moment, here's how the Yahoo users have them ranked:

1. LSU
2. Michigan State  :evil:
3. Michigan :)
4. Houston
5. Northwestern  :?

7. Alabama   :shock:

It's actually looking like there is a chance the two best teams will play in the BCS championship.  A novel concept but we can all hope.

LSU vs BAMA

I'd hate to see a rematch. 'Bama had their chance, at home, and lost. If they beat LSU on a neutral field in a rematch, that just evens the series and makes the regular season game meaningless.

Ever since Nebraska in 2001, I've felt strongly that a team that doesn't win their conference (or even division), shouldn't play for a national championship.

The two best teams should play for the championship.  The two best teams are LSU and Bama ranked 1 and 2.  Bama lost in overtime by a field goal.  LSU didn't win that game ....Bama ran out of time.  The rematch is just an extension of the first game.

The only down side of two SEC teams playing in the BCS championship is one of them will lose and end the undefeated SEC 7-0 BCS championship record.

Actually, Bama did lose the game. They had several opportunities to win the game in regulation and could not get it done. Overtime, new slate & we took it to 'em. Have to call a spade a spade. Just saying.

There has to be a championship with the best two teams standing. It could wind up being LSU and Bama. We shall see.

A win is a win I agree.  My point was that it was a very close game by two very good football teams and either team could have won.  A re-match would be great.  Who would win?  Who knows?  That's why we have to do it again.  Everyone wants to see the 2 best teams play each other and a good game.  I honestly don't see any other programs today that could give either of those teams a run.

You may see a team like OSU or VT jumping into the national chamionship game because of the Bama loss to LSU.  They don't like to play teams in bowl games that already played each other.  Going to be interesting where all the chips fall if last weekends upsets carry over.  Of course you guys never know Bama could also take another loss.  As crazy as things have been nobody is a for sure win especially when more wins now gets you a better bowl game.

I'm just hoping our tigers can kick some razorback butt! If we go down total chaos will ensue. It will become extremely interesting to see who plays who then. Got to love college football!

Good win, JP.  Good ballgame, too.  2nd half was a little one-sided, but.... ;) 

Now if Bama will take out Auburn today in a substantial way we might see #1 and #2 play again.

Good luck in Atlanta.
