Without looking, I think we go to Lexington week after Alabama and they come off a bye. If they’re ever going to beat us when we’re not in crisis, it might be the time
Mark Stoops has only beaten Tennessee twice, and each time it was in a year our coach got themselves fired. We ain’t losing to those shitbags.
Ceiling 11-1 loss to either UGA, Bama, or TAMU - Milton is everything we hoped he'd be, oline holds up, D takes big step forward. Floor 8-4 losses to UGA, BAMA, and TAMU and one of UF, UK, or USC Milton benched, injuries to oline, D better but can't cover offense challenges. My prediction 10-2
Another interesting question. What would you be willing to give up for a victory over an undefeated Georgia in Neyland?
Hoping for better but I would be ok with this. I think our D is a year out from being the level it takes to get the results we all want.
Eh, Maybe KY or SC. Virginia. Edit: I'm wanting a 2-1 record as a minimum against UF, TAMU, and bammer with this and winning the rest of them.
Are we in SEC title game/playoff consideration with a win over UGA? That's going to play into the equation.
I'm going to say the final record is 9-3, but I can't point to a specific game that's entirely a loss going in. That's major improvement in and of itself from recent years. Two losses from among UGA, TAMU, UF, and bammer. Getting UGA at home is a good thing, but I would be higher on beating them if it was earlier in the schedule. UF is here because it's a road game and I'll believe we're actually over that hump when we string together a few wins. One loss from KY, SC, MO, or maybe out of conference, but a loss to UVA means we could be in for breaking in a freshman QB and adjusting predictions downward. I almost put TAMU in this second tier because it's at Neyland and they sucked last year, but the talking heads aren't that down on them. They also have a lot of talent.
