Florida cornerback Jalen Tabor is still tired of hearing the hype surrounding SEC East rival Tennessee. The junior, who has spoken out against the Vols as the division favorite all offseason, joined the Paul Finebaum Show Thursday and, no surprise, continued to throw shade at Tennessee.

“It’s really all you guys (the media) picking Tennessee to win the East…I know I’m just a player but I really don’t see it” – @_31Flavorz

Tennessee was selected to win the East division in a poll conducted at SEC Media Days. Tabor’s Gators were picked to finish second and received 57 first-place votes, which was 168 less than the Vols.
As Tabor noted, Florida holds an 11-game winning streak in the annual rivalry, despite being challenged by Tennessee in the last two meetings. The Vols will get their chance to avenge those loses and Tabor’s trash talk when they host the Gators at Neyland Stadium on Sept. 24.
