Tennessee football doesn't lack for rivals, but most of its top rivalries lack sizzle because of competitive imbalance.

On this edition of The Volunteer State, Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's John Adams and Adam Sparks debate whether Ole Miss could take on more of a rival role for the Vols.
