I Know What You Did Last Week: A quick look at how Tennessee's remaining opponents performed this past weekend.
Florida Gators
- Week 1: Struggled against Dave Clawson's Bowling Green Somethings but won, 27-14.
- Week 2: Beat Texas A&M, 20-17, which has Alligator Army thinking they're finally seeing Will Muschamp's Gators.

- Joel feels __________ about this game this week: THE SAME ABOUT THE OUTCOME BUT MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE GAME. Which is to say that I standy by my preseason pick that the Vols will win. Won't be easy, and it's certainly not guaranteed by any means, but it will be fun.
Akron Zips

- Joel feels __________ about this game this week: EVEN BETTER. Vols should win.
@Georgia Bulldogs
- Week 1: Beat Buffalo, 45-23. Dawg sports thinks the Bulldogs might be overrated, but will catch up with expectations shortly. You be the judge:
- Week 2: Beat Missouri, 41-20.

- Joel feels __________ about this game this week: WORSE. The Bulldogs didn't look spectacular for much of the game, but they really poured it on late. And if they did that missing a bunch of their players, watch out. Vols lose. But ask me again next week. ;-)
@Mississippi State Bulldogs

- Joel feels __________ about this game this week: CAUTIOUS. I don't think Auburn is very good. Watching this team. Still picking the Vols.
Alabama Crimson Tide
- Week 1: Sheesh, I hate these guys. Embarrassed Michigan, 41-14 in front of a ginormous mirror and a national television audience.
- Week 2: Beat Western Kentucky, 35-0.

- Joel feels __________ about this game this week: EVEN BETTER, and unlike last week, it's not just us. It's you, too.
Missouri Tigers
- Week 1: Beat SE Louisiana Lions, whoever they are, 62-10.
- Week 2: Lost to Georgia, 41-20.
- Joel feels __________ about this game this week: WORSE, ACTUALLY. I know Georgia clobbered them late, but they look scary to me. Not changing my pick to the Tigers yet, but I'm a bit more concerned than I was last week.
@Vanderbilt Commodores
- Week1: Lost in the aforementioned squeaker to South Carolina, 17-13.
- Week 2: Lost to Northwestern, 23-13.

Conclusion after Week One
My predictions remain the same, but last week's increased optimism in the Georgia and South Carolina games has returned to preseason levels of general pessimism. I'm also more concerned about Missouri, but not yet ready to change my pick on that one.
