While many won't be satisfied unless we go undefeated, I tend to make more conservative forecasts. So, how do we realistically gauge improvement next season?
2017 was 4-8, 2018 was mild improvement at 5-7. So what is your forecast for next season, 6-6, 7-5, 8-4? I personally believe we need to go 7-5 next season to make the marked improvement that we should. That said, where do we find those wins? Here is the schedule:
Aug. 31: Georgia State
Sept. 7: BYU
Sept. 14: Chattanooga
Sept. 21: at Florida
Sept. 28: OPEN DATE
Oct. 5: Georgia
Oct. 12: Mississippi State
Oct. 19: at Alabama
Oct. 26: South Carolina
Nov. 2: UAB
Nov. 9: Kentucky
Nov. 16: OPEN DATE
Nov. 23: at Missouri
Nov. 30: Vanderbilt
I see the "should be easy" wins as Georgia State, BYU, Chattanooga, UAB. That gives us 4. Next, the "we are supposed to" as Kentucky and Vanderbilt. That gets us to 6. So where does the other win come? Miss State? USCjr? Missouri?
What say you Volnation? Give us your expected record, and the teams you expect to beat.

Aug. 31: Georgia State win
Sept. 7: BYU win
Sept. 14: Chattanooga win
Sept. 21: at Florida probable loss
Sept. 28: OPEN DATE
Oct. 5: Georgia loss
Oct. 12: Mississippi State win. They lose a lot
Oct. 19: at Alabama Loss
Oct. 26: South Carolina Win. It's just time
Nov. 2: UAB Tough win
Nov. 9: AT KENTUCKY Win. They lose a lot from a team that was not that good to start with
Nov. 16: OPEN DATE
Nov. 23: at Missouri Win. They have beat Tenn with the possible #1 pick at QB. They drop.
Nov. 30: Vanderbilt win. They lose the QB.
Why do you think BYU will be easy?
UAB went 10-3 and won their conference. They would have beat this team.
It’s a lot worse than you think.
8-4 or 9-3 honestly. Looking at the scholarship breakdowns the SEC will be much weaker next year. Mizzou, Scar, Kentucky, Miss St and Vandy all lose massive amounts of production, UF stays flat, Bama and uga get better. Looking at these historically weaker teams it's no wonder Mizzou with 23 seniors in the 2-Deep beat our freshmen/sop squad learning a new scheme.
It shows a Kentucky as away. Easy mistake to make. I know from personal experience updating the schedule on the site. Lol.I got the schedule from the official UTK site, so if it's wrong, it's wrong on the official vols site.
You are correct. I thought I got it from UTK, but I guess I didn't. Looks like I got it from SB Nation because it was easier to copy and paste. They are still showing it as home.It shows a Kentucky as away. Easy mistake to make. I know from personal experience updating the schedule on the site. Lol.
