Running the table?

I know this is super early… but Alabama is the only team we play that could boost our shot in making playoffs. We lose to Bama but still win out , we are probably 4th best in the SEC

I believe Bama is the only team left on the schedule where we are not favored by the ESPN FPI. I could be wrong. Let’s get it!

I’d like to wait until we can beat a decent team before I think about playoff implications.

A lot more on the schedule than Alabama. A win against Oklahoma may end up being worth a lot more if they continue to perform. A win against Vanderbilt (yes, Vanderbilt) may also end up being worth a lot more if they continue to perform. Maybe more if other teams also continue to play well.

That said, if Tennessee wants to be in the playoffs, then they have to win every game from here on out. 10-2 guarantees nothing. Just puts you in the mix to be picked.

It starts with Mississippi State in two weeks, who'll almost certainly be 4-0, undefeated, playing at home, and looking to make a statement against the Vols in Starkville. Heupel's strugglebus games have always come on the road. I wouldn't for one second be looking past that game in Starkville. Not for one second.

Yeah I’d agree except miss state head coach runs heups scheme and we practice against it and know it well… also Joey Ag is seasoned and I feel a lot more confident about his ability to go on the road and play well due his calm cool demeanor… but there are some games on the schedule that will be tougher then we thought during the preseason… we absolutely can win out but we have to bring it every game and I think this team will still play with that chip every game..

Don’t forget to pencil that one game each we lose that we’re not supposed to!

It's football, anything can happen, and anything is possible. Bama and Oklahoma, if we can can past those 2. Not even gonna mention the game down yonder that we should win, but.......

All of the sec games look extremely difficult outside of Kentucky
