VOLS REACH 100-WIN MARK; ASSURED OF BEING SEC'S BEST
Tennessee's 100th series meeting against Kentucky Saturday resulted in the Vols' 100th overall victory in the last 10 years -- a figure that leads the SEC.
The Vols are 100-24 since the start of the 1995 season and assured themselves of ending this season as the conference's top team over the last 10 years for the second year in a row. Tennessee went 99-26 in the 10-year period that ended last season.
Florida sports the second-best record in the last decade at 96-29, followed by Georgia at 87-35 and LSU at 81-39. Auburn, Tennessee's opponent Saturday in the SEC Championship Game, is 78-42 over that span.
Other SEC schools in order: Mississippi 69-49, Alabama 69-51, Arkansas 69-52, Mississippi State 52-64, South Carolina 49-64, Kentucky 43-71 and Vanderbilt 25-87.
Congratulations to UT for the 100 wins but look at the rest of the conference. The team about to be formerly coached by both TT and Cutcliffe is two games ahead in the losss column (baseball slang) of bama for the last ten years. And Shula's set for life, all he has to do is beat whatever 6-5 big ten team shows up in the bowl and he will exceed the 10 year bama standard. Way to go mickEy
