[Franklin_Vol09]

the next four games will tell us exactly where we stand. mainly ole miss and kentucky.

You win the Captain Obvious award.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Can you update this, now that SC game is over?

I'd love to be the team that elliminates Bama from the playoffs.

I'd consider that a successful year.

Another added bonus would be UGA dropping one or two. I cannot imagine living here if they were to win it all.

Love to see that 9-win chance creeping up. Heh.

Yes, it's still a very small number. But it's a lot higher than it was a week ago!

GO Vols!

Fair chance to go 2-2 over the next 4 games.

I did during the up and down period. A lot of Barking. Georgia Fans are in my Top 5 for worst fans and close #1. Just absolutely obnoxious. Auburn and Florida ranked in top 5. Vandy fans are pretty bad if they are winning 6 games before Franklin they were bad but they have toned it down since he left. Kentucky will be a tough game and don't expect to be greeted with a smile. Never had a problem going to road games at SC, AL, Mississippi or Mississippi State. LSU can be fun Texas A&M is a great road trip.

GA is pretty close to the Worst if you live there.

I would bet on the Georgia game because the game is in Rocky Top, and the Volunteers will be wanting to make a statement after that irrefutable abomination with the last season in the 2nd Half.
They make a statement by keeping the game vs a great Georgia Bulldogs team close for the whole game, and they defeat a favored great Georgia Bulldogs team.

Let's go 3-1. It starts with the fans.

Nice. So the results from Week 6 are that the probability of winning 7 or more games rose from ~65% (Post 154 here) to ~81%.

Golfballs, you should just create a separate thread and update this weekly with your new graph. I know I'd read it weekly. Would love to see what it looked like after the Pitt game too.

If we win 8 - despite our worsening depth - he deserves consideration for SEC coach of the year.

6 is almost certain
7 is possible
8 is extremely unlikely

I’m happy with 6 and curb stomping teams we are similar to.

6-6 is where we are heading. Hate to say it but this stretch we have coming up will not end well I'm afraid. Hope I'm wrong but I don't see wins against Ole Miss, Bama, UK and UGA. South Alabama and Vandy are givens.
