Tennessee football got no love from the ESPN College GameDay crew Saturday. Everybody on there picked against the Volunteers, and they roasted Butch Jones.

There was no way around it. From the start, the College GameDay crew embraced the fact that they have no love for Butch Jones or the Tennessee football program right now.

We don’t mean no love like they hate the school. We mean no love in the sense that they have little faith in the program…and embrace making fun of its coach.

In light of Butch Jones’s Monday rant toward the media, the crew did a segment roasting him and his comments.

Rece Davis started with some shots. Watch them here.

After that, Desmond Howard got in on the action and took his own shots, noting that while Butch Jones has done a decent job, the standards are higher for the Tennessee football program.

The roasting of Jones was not the only disrespect the crew had toward the program, though. Then it came time for the picks.

And all of them picked against the Vols. Howard went out of his way to note that despite this game being close in recent history, he thinks Georgia will win by two touchdowns.

Guest picker Bruce Smith added that he thinks the Dawgs will win as well, and Lee Corso said Georgia wins in an old-fashioned, ugly SEC-style way.

Kirk Herbstreit said he wanted to think about picking the upset because of all the outside talk. However, he said he couldn’t bring himself to do it because the Dawgs are too good on defense.

Simply put, there’s no respect for Tennessee football from the College GameDay crew. And given what has transpired the past two weeks, nobody can blame them. So it’s on the Vols to go back out and take respect.
