Nothing is guaranteed but I like PSU's chances against the SEC.

Tennessee isn't a fast team, so people were just picking up on the talk left over from Florida/OSU the year before. Southern speed refers to the Florida schools, Georgia and LSU more than anywhere else.
And it's just that I think that the big SEC schools (this year Bama, UGA and UF) have a slightly better defense than OSU and offenses leaps and bounds ahead of the Buckeyes. It would take in the high 30's to mid 40's for PSU to beat any of those three teams and I've seen nothing that would indicate that they could score more than about 17 on anyone with a pulse.
