had to go back and edit the OP.

Vegas win totals are regular season only. So out of a total of 12 games, they're saying 10.5. So if you think we win 11 or more before the conference championship, you'd take the over. If you think we go 10-2 or less in the regular season, you'd take the under.

Regular season is 12 games, so I specified that by saying 10-2. I think we may wind up playing 14 total games and we finish with 11 or 12 wins in that case. But for regular season, I'm guessing 10-2.

Really?

We basically have a 4 game season.

We have the talent. We play our 2 toughest opponents at home (Alabama and Florida). The two road games are against teams with lots of questions (Georgia and A&M).

To say under, you're basically saying we're not better than .500 against teams that matter next year.

I think we go a minimum 11-1 next year.

Most likely 12-0.

But that 4 game stretch comes before an open date. That's what worries me. And when is the last time UT had a quality road win? That shouldn't mean anything to the '16 squad, but history hasn't been kind to the Vols.

Yep, and we basically had a 5 game season last year....and went 1-4. Going .500 against "teams that matter" this year would be a great improvement over going .200 last year. After all, it's "a process".

Goodness gracious. This is yalls problem. Battered and bruised fans. I don't have this problem.

Tennesse has NEVER had a team this talented. So history is irrelevant.

So you are predicting more epic collapses this year?

We went 1-4 because Butch Jones and the staff chocked away 3 double-digit leads. Including 2 in the 4th quarter.

Plus our 5 opponents last year were better than our 4 this year.

I don't expect the collapses. I also expect team 120 to be better than it's 4 big opponents by a wider margin than team 119 was against it's 5 big opponents last year.

Minimum expectation for 2016 is 11-1 IMO.

I'm saying Texas A&M because after we beat Florida and Georgia, we'll be on an emotional high and cocky, and it's the week before Alabama. Lest you forget we still haven't had a bye week either. Further, we're going TO Kyle Field, and we seem to struggle against our other West opponents... A&M may be having some off the field issues, but that doesn't discount the fact that they are still very loaded and Knight is a good QB..

I don't worry about this team getting too high. I think they play better when their confidence is sky high not worse.

I don't expect any slip ups. If we lose in the regular season next year it'll be to a team that simply plays better than we do. And the only team with that ability is Alabama.

Our schedule is top heavy every year and needs to be shuffled , no buffers between the tough games. How do you win half a game. 10.5
