Remember last year when the media, myself included, had Auburn as a top-10 team and hyped up quarterback Jeremy Johnson as a darkhorse candidate to win the Heisman Trophy? Yeah, we all know how well that went.
So did we all just make the same mistake with Tennessee this year?
The Volunteers came into the season ranked No. 9, their highest preseason ranking since 2005. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs was getting some buzz as a potential dark horse Heisman candidate if he could lead to his team to Atlanta or even the College Football Playoff.
