08:21 AM ET 12.26 | For Butch Jones, will successful stops in Central Michigan and Cincinnati serve as a predictor of success in his biggest job yet? [Some] detractors point to Jones following in the career path of Brian Kelly, who went 19-16 at Central Michigan and 34-6 at Cincinnati and now has Notre Dame playing for the national championship in his fourth season there. At both CMU and Cincinnati, Jones took over the season following Kelly-led conference titles. ... "I think it's accurate that I've followed him," Jones said. "I have a tremendous amount of respect and he's a very close friend of mine, but I think that's the furthest thing from the truth. I think he'd tell you that, too. Every team is different, and every team has its own personality."

UTk has to beat Bama, UF, UGA, and SCar then the best team in the SEC West just to get a shot at a BCS game. Just look at those teams' rankings. Up hill climb.

Meh... It is still Vandy. Franklin has them 4th in the East on one of their best seasons. UF, UGA, and SCar are all better and will be.

In all reality UTk vs Oregon could get ugly fast. UTk's defense had a lot of issues this year changing to 3-4, they will probably go back to the 4-3. The secondary had problems catching Trey Burton.

No they sucked. UK's former coach is now UF's WR coach.

Hey, anything is possible!!! The Vols could catch the Ducks napping, but damn it is very hard to play Oregon at Autzen Stadium. :-)
