Florida at Tennessee

I'm picking UT to pull the upset.

Florida is a 15 point favorite but I'm not feeling it. I'm picking the upset here knowing that Tennessee just got blown out by Orgeron -(Sorry, couldn't resist) I mean Oregon.

Derek Dooley is firmly in control of his program but doesn't have much to work with. Urban Meyer has never been in control of his program and has "indefinitely suspended" Chris Rainey after he allegedly argued with a girlfriend and texted her "Time to die." Not good.

It was rumored in late August that three Florida freshmen, including Ronald Powell, boycotted practice because they were "tired of being yelled at." Florida Center Mike Pouncey was asked about this and responded by saying "we've got some freshmen who just need to shut their mouths and COME BACK and play football." When asked to elaborate on this story by a local reporter at a press conference the day after it allegedly happened, the press conference was abruptly canceled.

Florida is playing good defense and should win this game down the stretch. I'm picking Tennessee anyway.
