I see 8-9 wins. They were much better talent-wise than 4-8 last year just very poorly coached starting when Butch hired Larry Scott as OC. The poor coaching had an effect way before the season started. Id say they may surprise and you can chalk Missouri as a win with Dooley as OC...
No sec team is a given
Impossible to predict before spring.
For a team that was 0-8 in the SEC last year and having just hired Pruitt, the Vols would be lucky to go to a bowl game.
Considering reality it's hard to argue this.
Find 6 wins in that schedule. Go ahead, give it a shot.

Some should be.. Especially Vandy, UK, Mizzou and Ark. Rarely do any of them end up top 20-25 in recruiting with any consistency. Those are most years the bottom 4 finishers in the SEC in recruiting. UK more than the other 3 but even then their talent isn't close to the better recruiting teams. They will occasionally get their upsets but most years they should be givens.Just shows how much the oversigning rule has somewhat helped even out the playing field. Or atleast help shorten the talent gap.

In spite of the VN perception that Florida will be tough, I actually think Florida is the one on the "toss-up" list that we should win. They are in a worse situation than us right now and it's going to take them a couple of years to rebuild as well. It's also a home game for us.
