2016 season predictions (Mark Schlabach)

[YankeeVol]

8. Tennessee will win the SEC East (but won't beat Florida).

The Volunteers haven't won an SEC championship since 1998 and haven't won 10 games in a season since 2007. After limping through four seasons under Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley, the Vols have slowly showed progress under Butch Jones, who is 21-17 in three seasons.

But Jones says he believes he might finally have an SEC contender, and the Volunteers look loaded on both lines of scrimmage. With quarterback Joshua Dobbs and tailbacks Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara coming back, the Vols might be the team to beat in the SEC East. They'll win at Georgia and South Carolina, but they'll lose to Florida for the 12th season in a row. Even worse, Steve Spurrier will be there to watch it.

I'd be happy to win the East, but I can't take another loss to Florida.

 

[vollygirl]

We are not losing to Florida.

Schlabach is wrong. I skipped ahead and glanced at the last chapter. Don't worry, he's wrong.

 

[brentwoodvol23]

We're just not going to loose

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I will take an SEC East title over a win against UF all day, every day.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Well good thing this guy is ALWAYS wrong.

 

[YankeeVol]

We are not losing to Florida.

Schlabach is wrong. I skipped ahead and glanced at the last chapter. Don't worry, he's wrong.

I'm right there with y'all, but how long have we been saying this? I mean we have to be right eventually.

 

[omghulkhands]

I just don't think it is likely AT ALL to win the east if we lose to Florida.

Florida would need to lose 3 SEC games in most scenarios that don't involve us beating Bama

No way. Enough is enough. They may have to throw me in the looney bin if we lose to Florida again.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

With 15 wins on the upcoming season, I just don't see how we can squeeze in another Florida loss. Sorry, streaks were made to be broken!.

Word.

 

[Nationdom]

I will take an SEC East title over a win against UF all day, every day.

Backing into the SEC title game after losing to UF would in no way be satisfying and would really piss me off.

 

[ReaderVol]

We're not losing.

You tell'em lady!

 

[NorCalVol67]

He is half correct, we will win the East.

 

[RoxyVol]

Florida streak ends this season and my beloved Vols will not only win the East but the SEC as well..Gotta feeling this team is poised to SOAR!!!

:dance2::dance2:

No disrespect, but that's just sad.

Not losing to Alabama either... go ahead and put a 0 under our loss column!!!!!!!! :rock:

 

[gunner]

As bad as I hate to say it, UT could easily finish 10-2 this season with close losses to UF and Alabama at home.

 

[kcvols1]

I like this writer, but Slackback, you're killing me!

 

[chattavol420]

His opinion is kinda like an azz...it stinks. Seriously, these guys just have to talk cause that's how they get paid but he knows no more than we do. In fact, he probably knows less about our program than we do because he's making predictions for over 100 teams. Those can't all be educated predictions.

 

[Defaultuser]

No disrespect, but that's just sad.

Sad is taking everything literally. SMH

 

[08Vol]

I'm not going to trust someone who predicts 3 of the 2015 playoff teams will be make it again, that's just lazy
