It’s far too cliche to ever call the Tennessee-Florida game a must-win game. There are too many times in which Tennessee football went into this game with SEC and national title implications. It’s always a must-win.
However, this year, the game is a must-win for both teams in a different way. The loser could see their season finished before it started. When’s the last time you thought of that in a Tennessee-Florida game?
This used to be the game that single-handedly decided the winner of the SEC East. Only the Georgia Bulldogs would threaten. But now, it might single-handedly decide who finishes last place in the division.
