SEC East Champion scenario...

UF and UGA can, and likely will lose multiple games next season. Thus if UT can pull off those upsets, it can still win the East even if it losses a few games to West teams because of the head to head tie braker.

Go Vols.

UT upsets Florida in Knoxville, blows out UGA again and wins the SEC East! Dooley makes his mark in Year 1! Mark it down.

very unlikely. However, OP's point is that it is more likely that the East champion will have several losses this season, then the typical season because of the wide open SEC East Race. Since it's likely that UF and UGA will have several losses next year, that makes it possible for UT to win despite several losses to west teams / non conference games if UT can win the head to head matchups with UF and UGA.

I like the thoughts but is it ok to book this one on the dry erase board?

Another huge point is that this scenario, although far fetched, is more likely next sesaon then it would be in a typical sec season because 2010 is one of those rare years when UF must play Alabama in the West rotation adding to thier usual LSU matchup.

To summarize we need some good head on head so we can sneak it in the backdoor... Madden would say we'll need good penetration at the line and proper use of our tight ends to achieve it! We need shirts for the title game...Choke on our Vols

I have my Atlanta hotel reservations and tickets on order for the SEC championship just in case. The East should be more balanced this year and the Vols can do it. Go Vols!

Florida will have more losses than they have recently. We still have no chance of winning this division.

I love your positive attitude and future telling abilities. This team is at least as talented as last years, IMO. The big losses are EB and DW. If UF falls back a bit and SC and UGA remain status quo.....it isnt likely we win it at all, but you cant act like its impossible.

The big losses are 4/5 of our line, our coach, and our entire backfield. Luckily, we have a much tougher schedule than last year which should make it easier for us to get to the SEC Champ...oh. Wait.

Florida should lose 2-3 SEC games after losing all that talent. UT can win the East with an upset!

I am seeing we have posters saying we only win 4 games,posters saying 10(I have thought 9 wins and a bowl). But fact of the matter is NO ONE knows where we will finish. We can finish 14-0 just as easily as we can finish 0-12. Its amazing what a few breaks in a game can cost you or help you. Maybe General Neyland is watching from up above and is going to give us a few breaks this year after all we have been through the last 2 :).

When you look at the Oline on paper it may seem that there will be a huge drop off in production since we are losing 4/5 starters.

But when you analyze it deeper and realize that 2 of the 4 we are losing were walk on talents and that one of the starters last year was transitioning from TE you can make the argument that it may not be that bad. Douglas will have had a full year to grow and learn the Oline position and should be a stud next year. We replace two walk on's with Talented yet inexpeienced playes and we have 2 real young guys that are talented playing.

So while the experience may be down, we actually may have a more talented line.:good!:

I needed a good laugh. Were going to be the 4th or 5th best team in the East next year.

Dude, i hate to rip on the conference, but the east sucks. every single school in the division has huge question marks looming over them. There's no way we're gonna be fifth, fourth maybe, but no, not fifth.

Yeah, i don't think talent is the problem. It's just experience and depth. If our line can stay healthy, it should improve as the season progresses and will probably be just as good if not better than the one we had last year by the time the season's finished.

It was probably hard for Bryce to find running room with the Sullins boys laying on their backs after they got trucked by the SEC Dlineman...our talent will be better!:good!:

I agree we will not be fourth or fifth but you have to consider we do play likely the two best teams from the West also.

2/4 were walk-ons....not a big loss on the OL. We are more than adequate talent-wise in our offensive backfield. I think BB,Oku,Pool, Williams and Neal can get it done. I dont want to come off like I'm putting down your opinion....if it seems that way I apologize. I just dont agree that next year is a lost cause. Except for EB and DW, I think we have just as, if not more, talented players waiting in the wings at those positions to step up.

Sure, but they were senior walk-ons. Right now we have three good linemen that aren't freshmen, and the freshmen aren't going to start right away...
