The Vols need to finish at least 6th in the SEC and be 10 games over .500 and in the top 50 rpi.
They can to win all but one of the upcoming SEC series
They have midweek games remaining against Top-50 RPI teams MTSU and Western Carolina. They need to win one of those, preferrably to WCU.
Doing the math, puts me at 34 wins but it is important who those wins are against.
Among the extra things they need to do. They need to sweep either Georgia or Mississippi State who are in the cellar with the Vols.
The Vols to finish in top 6 or 7 will need to finish third in east, which means jumping Vanderbilt and Kentucky.
By the way, what happen to Georgia? I thought that team was set for perennial success. With the talent within 200 miles of Athens, the Hope Scholarship and facilities, there is ZERO excuse for a season they are now having.
