The scenario would have probably been UK as the loss, but my whole point is that that’s not how probability works. You can have an 80% chance of winning each of 3 games and still only have a 51% chance of winning ALL 3.So you think we are losing to one or more of UK, Vandy, UTEP, and Miss State? 3 of those teams are NOT better than NC State IMO. UK has a good defense but their offense is not even as good as our offense on its worse day (i.e. Arkansas). Miss State is the worse team in the SEC and frankly isn't any better than NC State. Vandy is the only team in that list of 4 that even has a pulse but I just don't think their lines are going to hold up to our line (especially our defensive line).
Give me your 8-4 scenario in detail, I want to hear it.

Luckily, with a win against Bama the odds of 4 losses are now pretty much zero. Go vols!
I don’t think the WILL. I was only saying they COULD as in “anyone can beat anyone if things break their way.”UK won't beat Tennessee. They will struggle to score 7 points against Tennessee's defense. We have had their number as well.
Vandy would have a better shot.
ON PAPER, we have a "one for the ages" roster of talent. If every player was playing to their potential and the coaching staff was calling the right plays utilizing there talents, we could beat any team we've played in the last 10 years. That was the magic of Saban, who I hate and admire. He got the best talent, them squeezed every ounce of talent out them, then have the right plays called. We aren't there yet. When you're "there", you walk on the field every game expecting to win, not hoping to win. We will be there soon. CJH is getting it together. 2 years ago he proved he could put a world class offense on the field. This year we have a world class defense. If we ever sync up........boy howdy......
