Tennessee Volunteers: Best plays of 2006 tournament

SEC Media days are this week, and practice is just around the corner, but we still have a bit of time to kill, so we're kicking off a Best Plays of 2006 bracket-ish tournament.

Starting today, we'll pit four of last season's plays against each other each day, two in the morning, and two later in the day. With each post, all y'all can vote for whichever play you think is better. To vote, you'll need to click on the "Entry Link" link at the bottom of each post. Voting for each match up will remain open until it's time for the winner's next match. Here's the plan:

Best Plays of 2006 Bracket
1 Cal: Hardesty 43-yard rush for a TD              

Florida: Taylor 48 yard pass to Coker for TD 1

  ___           ___  
4 Georgia: Coker 40 yard kickoff return              

South Carolina: Hefney 65 yard punt return 4

    ___       ___

We'll start with the upper left corner of the bracket and work our way around clockwise. The first post will be up as soon as the highlights are finished encoding, and the posts will continue through Tuesday of next week (minus the weekend, unless you think it should continue through the weekend -- let me know), at which time the final two plays will be compete for the designation of RTT's Best Play of 2006.

Tee Martin's 79-yd bomb to Peerless Price in the 1998 MNCG?

That's what I would have voted for.  There were some doozies in that 'tournament', that's for sure!
