I mean this is always a fun one. Bonus points if you’re brave enough for score projections. I’ll start for Tennessee.

Florida, Texas A&M, and Alabama are my swing games. Florida looks like a favorable match up for us as it stands, but having grown up through the early 2000’s I just know that uf has some of that swamp magic. ATM is just a massive question mark for everyone from every perspective right now, certainly glad they play Alabama the week before they play us. Unfortunately we play Alabama in ttown the next week. Speaking of if there are any other vols reading this please help me flood Danny White’s inbox with requests to return TSIO to a color clash game by wearing orange in Tuscaloosa this year. If that game looks good, or if we even pull out a win, we can start talking about the UGA game. Until then let’s take this one game at a time. Overall I’ve got us going 10-2 with 8-4 being the absolute worst case for us to still have a ‘decent’ season. Also shout out to the scar game, I bet that one’s going to be a barn burner.

    Yeah, I feel like our luck for some of these trophy games might be out. Historically, even on years with no offense, we have performed adequately against Minnesota and Nebraska, and we capitalize on down years for Wisconsin. ISU is always a coin flip.

    I won’t be happy if this comes true, so maybe I’m putting it on paper to inure myself to what might be if the OL doesn’t shape up and the new offensive pieces aren’t enough.
