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

  • UVA: W
  • Austin Peay: W
  • Florida: W*
  • UTSA: W
  • SCAR: W
  • TAMU: W*

  • UConn: W
  • Mizz: W
  • UGA: L
  • Vandy: W

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.

    Kansas. Our over under is around 6 but we were a top 20 offense last year and we returned everyone but our left tackle. I really do believe that we will be a top 5 offense in the nation this year. We have the big 12 preseason player of the year and 5 1st all-conference players.

    Our defense will still be bad against the run, and people doubt our pass rush but look for Jerome Robinson to have a big year and our D-Line transfers to do just enough to make our salty secondary hard to pass on.

    I’m predicting 8-4

    W - MO State

    W - Illinois

    W - @Nevada

    W - BYU

    L - @Texas

    W - UCF

    L - @OSU

    L- OU

    W - @ISU

    W - TTU

    W- KSU

    L- @UC

    Honestly the games I have trouble picking are the OU game and then the finally 3 games. I think those 4 games we go 2-2 but we could beat any of those teams at home but we could also lose to UC on the road despite the fact I think they will have a down year.

    I’m excited and will be even if we just get the 6th win. I’m ready for another bowl

      I’m honestly pretty happy TCU dodged y’all this year. Couple of newbies, ISU, and WVU should make my Frogs look better than they are.

      As an Arkansas fan I hated playing Kansas in the Liberty Bowl last year. “This game is in the bag…wait what is happening?”. That QB is salty. Bonkers game. This year’s Sweet 16 match up was a classic too!
