[Volador]

What do you think* will be the number of Wins UT will post this year excluding a potential bowl game? (*not "want")

sorry - learning the new site. See POLL thread. thx

 

[checkerboards09]

8-4

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I think we win 1 or 2 we shouldn't and finish 7-5.

 

[Catfishvfl]

8 and 4 is very possible

 

[Jack Burton]

I think 6 because we’re not as deep as the biggest competition. With a tough schedule our guys will get hurt leading to inexperienced and undersized players getting the bulk of playing time. I hope I’m wrong.

 

[Nocleats]

5

 

[Give_All_Vol]

8 and 4 is very possible

Probably about as possible as 4 and 8

 

[FLVOL_79]

6 is the ceiling. Expecting 5 or less mainly because while the team returns a bunch of players its returing a bunch of players from the worst team in 121 years of Tennessee football.

 

[gnm53108]

Going with 8

 

[Ten_Titans]

All the wins.

Both are very possible.

We will beat UTEP, ETSU, Charlotte, Vandy & Ky. Lose to Missouri, West Virginia Mountain Queers, O'Bama, Florida, Auburn, Georgia & South Carolina
Unsettled Q.B. position. No real depth on defense. New scheme on offense & defense

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I always said this team would win a minimum of 8 games.

Tennessee upsets WV in a close one, calling it now!

 

[Manning Up]

5 wins. If this team manages to win 6, Pruitt should win Coach of the Year.

 

[Rudy123]

I think we win 1 or 2 we shouldn't and finish 7-5.

I think we lose 1 or 2 that we shouldn't lose and finish 5 - 7.

Look at our history! We have more upset losses than we have upset wins in the schools history.
Lost to an inferior Florida team at least 12 times. Lost to Wyoming. Lost to an inferior O'Bama team about 10 times. Lost to Ky. twice, since I have been an avid fan. Lost to Vandy about 5 times in the past 10 years. Lost to a couple of inferior Missouri teams. Lost to an inferior Penn State team 3 or 4 times.

Beat U of Miami in Sugar Bowl. Come from behind win against LSU with Rick Clausen as Q.B. Beat UGA a couple of times when we were the underdog. Beat Ohio State with Eddie George, Terry Glenn etc. etc.

 

[VolEngineer]

8-4. We'll beat the three cupcakes, and by the end of the schedule we should ve in a rhythm to beat Vandy and kentucky. I think we beat south Carolina and florida and then lose one of missouri or west virginia, plus the three hard ones.

 

[82_VOL_83]

15.....I'm all in!

 

[checkerboards09]

5 wins. If this team manages to win 6, Pruitt should win Coach of the Year.

A coach at UT should never win COY for 6 wins. It’s better than last year, but still not even close to where we should be.

 

[Denton'sGhostGBO]

6 is the ceiling. Expecting 5 or less mainly because while the team returns a bunch of players its returing a bunch of players from the worst team in 121 years of Tennessee football.

I once saw an Auburn team that finished 3-9 go 12-2 the next year and lose in the national championship game. Sometimes it isn't the players, but the environment and coaching they are receiving... Our Head Coach was on the team that beat them..

Now realistically I say 8-4 with a bowl win in Nashville to make up 9-4.

 

[Sudden Impact]

There is at least one upset this year. Pruitt gets his signature win in first season...

 

[Pruitt Will Do It]

8 wins regular season and 9 after the Bowl Game

 

[Catfishvfl]

Probably about as possible as 4 and 8

Very true lol

 

[Cartervol]

6 hopefully. Team needs a bowl game. Could realistically start 2-6, and that would suck.

 

[OleRockyTop]

Heart: 8-4

Head: 6-6
