Way Too Early 2015 Expectations

Winning the east is going to be very much reachable next year. As long as our o-line improves and secondary improves i really see us winning 9 atleast next year. Who in the world knows what next year holds, for all we know dobbs may not even start next year, one of the new kids might show out and start. Adding kamara was huge, dude is a stud and is going to score many touchdowns next year.

6-6 or worse won't be acceptable
7-5 would be disappointing but probably not the end of the world
8-4 is what I would call par for the course
9-3 is a solid, overachieving year
10-2 or better and I will be overjoyed.

Or Arky or UGA.

I think I'm going to enjoy the bowl win and recruiting season.. I'll worry about our record next year after the 4th or 5th game.

That guy is probably a Vandy idiot trying to troll. It has to give the Vandy fans severe butthurt that Tennessee has won the Gator Bowl while all they could do was watch at home.

They should be used to things like this. It's been this way for 99.9% of their programs history.

Knight played in the Russell Athletic Bowl. I was at the game and OU was just absolutely awful. That doesn't mean they will be next September but there is a malaise at OU, much like there is at Iowa and somewhat like there was at UT toward the end of Fulmer's career. The unrest with Stoops is growing.

Well if he played like he did in the bowl game then I'm not concerned. They seem like Iowa was today. Fan base is not backing bob as much and I think we come out and make a statement against Bob.

Agreed, we have a QB that not only can move but does move for positive yards on keepers. OU D will will have serious problems with our O next year.

When Vandy was most successful they didn't have any bowl games. Polls gave Vandy National Championships in 1910 and 1911.

1910 Vandy football team 8-0-1

Mooney School W 34-0
Rose Hulman Tech W 23-0
Castle Heights Military Institute W 14-0
Tennessee W 18-0
Yale T 0-0
Ole Miss W 9-2
LSU W 22-0
Georgia Tech W 23-0
Sewanee W 23-6

1911 Vandy Football team 8-1

Birmingham College W 40-0
Maryville W 46-0
Rose Hulman Tech W 33-0
Centre College W 45-0
Michigan L 9-8
Georgia W 17-0
Kentucky W 18-0
Ole Miss W 21-0
Sewanee W 31-0

Make a wildcard spot in the playoffs and put our entire defense in the pro bowl.

If they go 9-3 they will beat Florida.

Heck if they're good enough to win the East, with Bama losing the house on offense, I would bet they would beat the Fighting Sabans.

So lets hold onto the reins. Still young still a tough schedule. 8 wins and I will predict winning the SEC in 16 tho lol

My point. It just seems like they are trying to work stoops out and we will be rising. Just a hunch but I think we can get the W!

Team will be talented but still will be inexperienced. They will win more games but youth has a way of reaching out and catching you by the toe when you least expect it.

We need to be patient and remember how far we have come.

I think 8 wins would be a good regular season. More will be a bonus and will mean the following season will see us capable of playing with anyone anytime and competing with the big guys where we belong.

It's wonderful that 2016 schedule is a whole lot easier than 2015. Tennessee could win the SEC East in 2016.

Bowling Green W
Oklahoma Toss up, I say W
Western Carolina W
Florida W (rebuilding FL means UT will gain streak momentum)
Arkansas W (This game will go down to how powerful the DLine is. Arky will NOT rip apart our secondary until they pound the tackles. A lot)
Georgia W (Arkansas, Part II) - UGA will depend on how we defend against the run

Provided we beat OU, UT will be #15 by Alabama I say
Alabama L (I unfortubately agree with this)
...then UT falls to #22
Kentucky W
South Carolina W
Missouri L - toss up, UT only does poorly here because of depth
Vanderbilt W - toss up due to injury

Probable total: 9-3, #17 overall AP

SEC East Champions with 6-2 SEC play, UGA is 2nd thanks to dropping Aubie, gets destroyed by Bama, and drops one more.

Alabama wins SECCG because UT can't handle depth issues...

If UT starts 6-0 with wins over OK, FL, GA, and Arky they will be higher than 15
