Fox Sports Knoxville ranks Tennessee games by importance. They rank the UF/UT game number 1. They say Florida is the weakest they have been in a decade. I would say 2013 and 2014 are much weaker. Here are their comments on the UF/UT game.
1. Florida, September 24th, Knoxville, TN
You knew it was coming. The biggest game of 2016 is Florida. According to most Tennessee fans, there’s really no doubt about it. Both teams will likely come in undefeated and it will set the tone for Tennessee’s entire season. The game is in Neyland Stadium and Florida is as weak as they’ve been in a decade, but, let’s be honest, it’s Florida. The 11-year losing streak is deep in Tennessee’s head and this needs to be the year the Vols exorcise their UF demons. If they don’t, things could downhill fast for UT, if they do, Tennessee will likely make a triumphant return to the SEC Championship.
