I'm officially all in on the Vols. Win the East and this could possibly be the beginning of the third great era of Vols football.

Tennessee should win it. So much speed and talent all over the field. If Dobbs makes strides with his arm( like he should) I don't see how we lose it.

To be fair, you're not the greatest at prognostications...... Maybe one year after several years saying it, you might accidentally end up right

And those legacies. Legacies! Man, don't forget the legacies. With all the legacies it's obvious that the only question is who get's second. Win the East ... pffffffft!
We got legacies man. Win the SEC. Win the playoff. Win in the called exhibition with the Seahawks after the championship game. Did I mention the legacies? :)

I've seen enough to drink the kool aid.

The talent is there, and I believe there is enough experience to win it, but not enough depth. Add in new coaching and we look good enough, while the rest of the East is in turmoil/transition. Sometimes the planets just align.

If injuries are not too numerous, we will win it. If we have a lot of injuries, especially to key players we will not.

We've got some legacies that will knock you in the mouth and almost get a 15 harder. Border line.

I'm pretty good at predictions if you think about it and really study what I've said.

Georgia terrifies me because im afraid chubb may be even better than gurley but i think we may be a more complete team top to bottom with dobbs manning the helm and their uncertainties at qb. Vols by the slimmest of margins

I think we might have the defense this year to make Chubb look pedestrian, even as good as he is. Thinking Neyland might be the low spot on what would otherwise be an awesome year for him. :)

One of a pair of polls gauging VolNation's expectations for the coming season.

Until I see Missouri not win the East, I will favor them. We counted them out for two consecutive seasons and they ended up being the East representative.
I don't see Florida because they have little talent and a new coach with a new system.
UGA lost BoBo so I count them out.
We will lose to Florida & Alabama, so that will give us two S.E.C. loses.

Nosir. First tiebreaker is head to head iirc. I think we'll beat Georgia this year. So.....while we will lose to Florida, if we have the same SEC record, we win the East because of the tiebreaker. 😀😊😉😳😁 tifwiw era sos ira rbi uoeno

Georgia could lose to Auburn and Alabama this year which gives them very little wiggle room in the east.

experienced depth is the problem

the freshmen aren't going to be SEC ready at all,maybe a couple,but that will be about it

and we all know if Dobbs is injured it may get ugly,fast

FROM THE BOTTOM UP...AND WHY
7-Vandy. The Harvard of the South has similar football talent to the Scarlet Knights. On a good note: The dores' fans won't be so noisy in their obnoxious repartee with most losses being expected.

6-USCe. The old balls coach will go down in history as a true offensive genius. His systems thrived when he had superior talent, speed and a deep roster of players, all who possessed high football IQs. He also had an innovative defensive guru keeping his fun 'n gun offense on the field. With these pieces in place, he was nearly impossible to beat. Sadly for my friends in Columbia, in 2015 CSS is woefully short of much of the above. Poor chickens. It's going to be gloomy around Columbia.

5-UK. Stoops should be a step closer to making the cats relevant; thus a notch up in the rankings. Although the SEC's such a hard row to hoe, maybe only their uniforms will be blue at season's end due to (finally) a bowl game finale.

4-Floor duh. New coaches = new systems and the typical Chinese fire drill of rebuilding. Think that diversion of talent to the "U" and FSU won't be noticeable? Their OL is about to realize what our Vols were facing with all new starters (Ivey? It'll take more than one standout, untested rookie) and, in the east, UT, UGA and most likely Mizzou are going to make whichever QBs wearing orange and blue turn black and blue. Keep in mind that bama and LSU on the west end will be running amok over them, every bit as much. That sucking noise y'all will hear is the draining of the swamp.

3-Missouri. Gary Pinkel is probably the most solid coach in the game, and he does more with less than any college HC I can think of. However, this year he's even more lacking in talent...particularly at WR...than he's been since the Tigers' year 1 in the SEC. Nonetheless, Mizzou will win more than they seemingly should.

2-UGA. With any of their three top RBs capable of starting for anybody, and they're all very, very talented, you'd think the dawgs will be unstoppable. Chubb and Michel are lightning bolts with a wallop. Barring unforeseen saviors at both WR and QB, though, all those 4 and 5* studs will be watching as those blazing fast battering rams themselves get battered by defenses stacking the box and forcing pick sixes on the dawgs' gun shy QBs. Mike Bobo, who really knows how to make the running game click, just may be missed a lot more than folks think in Athens.

1-UT Vols. Let's pump the brakes not sunshine/be realistic/take off the orange shades or whatever and accept that all's not going to work to perfection for this wildly hyped team. Let's also realize that a few rocks in the way won't slow Niagra Falls to a trickle. Young teams have historically been in the mix of those who "miraculously" morph into major contenders, and this group has a sick blend of talent, speed and an uber-intense motivation...enough to win a whole lot of games THIS YEAR. Yes, there will be injuries; maybe even a defection or dismissal or something-of-the-sort, and most likely one or more of those sure-fire superstars just won't progress as projected. Nonetheless, there's just too much there for UT to be knocked out of contention for the SEC CG. I'll hang up and listen.

We beat uga at home, and Missouri has had our number. Hopefully they'll still suck at home, and if we win that one, we win the east.

Both Georgia and Tennessee will finish 8-4 but Georgia will win the tiebreaker by beating Florida while Tennessee loses to Florida.
