You forgot to add that we beat AL in a rematch in the SEC championship game for the overall conference title.So let’s recap what has to happen here:
Tennessee beats South Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
Missouri loses to either Kentucky this weekend or Arkansas on Nov. 29
Georgia beats Florida on Nov. 2
Vanderbilt beats Florida on Nov. 9
Missouri beats Georgia on Nov. 9
Missouri beats Florida on Nov. 16
Auburn beats Georgia on Nov. 16
Texas A&M beats Georgia on Nov. 23
Here’s what everybody’s SEC record would be at best for them if those things happened:
Tennessee: 5-3
Missouri: 5-3
Georgia: 4-4
Florida: 4-4
South Carolina: 4-4
Vanderbilt: 4-4
Kentucky: 3-5
This is what could happen right? Still hope here!!
The SEC "higher ups" would never let it happen.So let’s recap what has to happen here:

If UK continues to run all over Missouri, this thread could gain momentum.
UPDATE -- if Kentucky holds on to the win (they're ahead of Mizzou 22-0 at the moment), the odds of Orange Defense's wild wish do need to be updated. Two key changes in the formula today:The odds of every single one of these games coming out as needed? 0.00019%. In other words, about two-ten-thousandths of a percent.
- Tennessee beats South Carolina (.388), Missouri (.250), Kentucky (.402) and Vanderbilt (.826)
- Missouri loses to either Kentucky or Arkansas (.458 that they'll lose at least one of those two)
- Georgia beats Florida (.615)
- Vanderbilt beats Florida (.032)
- Missouri beats Georgia (.164)
- Missouri beats Florida (.377)
- Auburn beats Georgia (.593)
- Texas A&M beats Georgia (.176)
That's very close to the same as the odds you will get hit by lightning this year: 0.00014%.
I’m proud of you for just coming up with this. Isn’t going to happen, but damn that must have taken a minute to think through.So let’s recap what has to happen here:

UPDATE -- if Kentucky holds on to the win (they're ahead of Mizzou 22-0 at the moment), the odds of Orange Defense's wild wish do need to be updated. Two key changes in the formula today:
The first result raises our chance of winning out, using pre-game ESPN FPI percentages to about 8% (was 3% before the USCe victory). And it will be even better than that after the ESPN FPI is updated tomorrow or Monday -- watch our chances of beating Mizzou and Kentucky rise, perhaps by quite a bit.
- Tennessee beats South Carolina (.388) turns into (1.0)
- Missouri loses to either Kentucky or Arkansas (.458) becomes (1.0) as well
Before we beat the Gamecocks and Kentucky dropped 22 on Mizzou in the first half, the chance of everything happening in the OP's wish list was 0.00019% (about two-ten-thousandths of a percent). About the same as the chance of getting hit by lightning this year (0.00014%).
Now, though -- we're up to a 0.0011% chance (one-one-thousandth of a percent). That's a HECK of a lot better than your chance of being struck by lightning, and is about as good as your chances of being injured by a toilet (0.0010%).
So, things are looking great thus far, OD! Go Vols!
p.s. I'll update the calculations again tomorrow or Monday when the ESPN FPI chances are revised.

p.p.s. Just glanced at FPI: the Vols line of the OP now looks like this:
From 3.2% up to 12.5%, that's quite an improvement!
- Tennessee beats South Carolina (1.0), Kentucky (.403), Missouri (.362), and Vanderbilt (.862) == 12.5% chance of winning out in SEC play.
