CBS Sports Network panelists Aaron Taylor, Rick Neuheisel, Brian Jones and Randy Cross weighed in on the huge showdown on Rocky Top this week.

Aaron Taylor opened the discussion and may have spoken for plenty of college football fans by summarizing it like this: “Everything in my body wants to pick Tennessee.”

He then went down a list of things such as Alabama struggling with turnovers and having trouble defending mobile quarterbacks.

“The key to this game for Alabama is going to be their offensive line, whether Alabama plays or not,” Taylor said. “Tennessee’s defense is better than I think a lot of people think. They’re second in the conference in stopping the run. … Whether it’s (Jalen) Milroe or (Bryce) Young, those boys up front have to get the job done, if anything to play keep away, because if they turn it over, Tennessee will know what to do with it.”

Reluctantly, Jones picked Tennessee because it’s the home team, but admitted he was as torn as Taylor.

Cross and Neuheisel each also picked Alabama, and Neuheisel said he doesn’t expect Young to play because he’s had that shoulder injury Young is dealing with, and hard to come back from that injury.
