Alabama, A&M, UGA. These are the most important games left, all must wins. Bama because it’s Bama and Tennessee must get a good streak going against them. UGA and A&M because Tennessee doesn’t lose at home anymore. I’d like to see a record breaking home win streak a few years down the road. If this means dropping the Missouri game(likely) and even the UK game(not very likely) so be it. It would bother me to lose to UK but the other 3 are more important.

Honestly, I think this team's ceiling is 9-3. If we go 1-2 against those 3 teams, I don't think we should be disappointed.

Before the game yesterday, I was thinking the team's ceiling is 7-5. I'm glad they surprised me last night, specifically the defense.

Murderer’s row for sure. If the crowd is loud and the defense comes ready to play, A&M is gonna have a bad time and I think we can also get into UGA’s heads as well.

We need Georgia to drop one though, big time. Losing to Florida seriously put our season behind the curve.

Georgia loses one and we're all square again.

Please for the love of God just stop it. Neither of those games are must wins. All of our remaining games are important. The likelihood of us beating UGA and TAMU at home and beating Bama on the road are extremely slim.

We played good against SC. But those three you just listed? Much better than SC. Realistic scenario for those 3 games are we go 1-2. And that’s fine. You just want a reason to dump on the coaching staff.

Nobody left on their schedule is much of a threat to them though. Beck is figuring the offense out. They are getting healthy.

I like our chances against A&M. I don’t feel good right now about beating Bama. Coaches would have to come up with a way to stop Bowers to beat UGA.

I feel better about beating Bama than I do about beating Mizzou. No one cares about Mizzou. As far as Bama goes, no one sleep walks through The Third Saturday in October.

Yep, the only thing I can say about last night is Rattler is a better QB than the 3 teams have and maybe Legette. The rest of USCJr would have a hard time finding a starting spot on any 3 of these teams. So its going to be a harder ask.

The maths in this is a little fuzzy. 😵‍💫

Honestly Georgia has become a pretty realistic game for a win at this point. Particularly getting them here, thats going to be a big difference. I think I might be more worried about A&M possibly as their offense is probably going to be the best offense we face for the rest of the year.

Bama @ Bama is always going to be tough. Hopefully their QB situation just falls apart, which is possible. Georgia just isn't the same team. Still a very good team, but their offense isn't as explosive and their defense isn't as elite. They're vulnerable.

We are playing better in Knoxville so keep that in mind. I notice all of the losses and clunkers seem to be on the road. Kentucky and Missouri are tricky. I think they beat A&M. Not sure about Alabama. 8-4 seems likely with losses to Alabama, Georgia, and either Kentucky or Missouri.

Tennessee has a shot in every game but they could lose any of these games as well.

My god some of you just need to enjoy the dominant win and relax. It’s only 12 games we get guaranteed.

To be fair with the piss poor OOC schedule and the fact that there are more bowls than 6-6 teams can fill, we are pretty much guaranteed 13 games.

Wait do we though? If we win out I think we win the east outright, as long as Florida continues to do what Florida does after achieving their annual goal of beating TN

I might get some backlash for this but…I’m starting to think A&M is the toughest game out of the three. Their defense is nasty and offensively they look better than UGA or Bama so far.
