KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s game with Florida this Saturday will be evaluated from most every angle on account of what’s believed to be at stake.
Specifically, the winner will be sitting on the pole position in the SEC East Division, an inside track to the SEC Championship Game on the line at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
The Vols (3-0) are ranked No. 14 in the AP Top 25 poll, and the Gators (3-0) are ranked No. 19, but both teams have plenty of questions to answer before either takes the trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game.
