    Has it occurred to anyone else that we have an outside, but possible chance at 8 wins?

    throw in a bowl win, and now you got a stew going.

    Hooker has a QBR of like 189, btw. highest in the conference. and he didn't get to pad it against BGU, etc.

    ESPN’s FPI has UT going 8-4, at this moment

    I think it's much more likely we go 6-6 than 8-4 ( my pick is 7-5), but you cannot discount how improved this team looks regardless.

    aTm's QB kinda sucks. I think we get Bama.

    Let's not get crazy. Alabama will pummel us in the trenches.

    If we beat Alabama I'll run from Nashville to Cookeville in steel toed boots and then crawl on broken glass the rest of the way to Knoxville along I-40 to join the celebration, but it's not happening this year. We just don't have the horses to run with them yet. Plus, I'd imagine with Bammer already having one loss, the SEC will be assigning lifelong Alabama fan boys to referee in Tuscaloosa just like they did in the 2019 game.

    Just beat Kentucky, that’s all I care about. It’s been unbearable living here the last couple of weeks. People are thinking that Kentucky is going to make the playoffs. Even with a loss to UGA, they think it’s a legitimate possibility.

    8-4 isn't blind homerism, it's definitely possible. I think 7-5 is most likely myself

    7-5 after last season and the off-season portal massacre of the roster, and I’m more than content

    Truly think 8-4 is there though. I like our defense better than Ole Miss’, but I don’t like our depth. Hope all the injured that heupel said should be back will be back and at 100%

    Depth is what will hurt against UK and Ole Miss. Alabama and Georgia, it probably doesn't matter. Vanderbilt and South Alabama, I believe the full 2nd string would be fine.
