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*
  • Alabama: L*
  • Kentucky: 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.

    First, thank you for helping me find victims for my identity theft scheme flair script.

    Second, finally asking us to throw down and start some arguments. I like it.

    Florida (7-5), and this is probably a bit homerish.

    • @ Utah - W. I think we might out-croot them in a sloppy opener where lack of depth won’t kill us yet.
    • McNeese - W.
    • Tennessee - L. Closer than UTK would like, though.
    • Charlotte - W.
    • @ UK - W. Time to stop the bleeding.
    • Vanderbilt - W. If I can’t afford a Vandy win, darlin’, then I can’t afford to dream.
    • @ SCAR - L. Rattler with hype has historically meant bad Rattler, but maybe he;'s really matured. This will be tough one.
    • WLOCP - L. Probably NOT closer than UGA would like.
    • Arky - W. I think Pittman’s got a ceiling.
    • @ LSU - L. C’est la vie, ma cherie.
    • FSU - W, because fuck 'em, that’s why.

    TCU (9-3). A lot is dependent on Chandler Morris not shattering into a million pieces and the skill position pipeline continuing to hum, but I think they’ll be better while doing worse.

    • CU - W. Buffs look good for a quarter and a half, but Frogs figure some things out and put them away.
    • Nicholls - W.
    • @ Houston - W. They don’t have the talent yet, and Dana is past it.
    • SMU - W. It’ll be way tighter than it should be though. Skillet is an underrated rivalry.
    • WVU - W. Morgantown is tough. Good thing this one is in Fort Worth.
    • @ISU - W. I don’t see 1-8 in B12 play like last year, but they’ve got some shit to figure out in Ames.
    • BYU - W. No magic underpants will save you.
    • @ KSU - L. The balloon pops.
    • @ TTU - L. Tech made a sneaky good hire and they will have something to prove at home.
    • UT - W. I have doubts about Ewers and Sarkisian, and TCU just seems to have their number. Nice rebound game.
    • Baylor - W. Playoffs out of the picture, and CCG will be a tough ask. The Revivalry will be the Frogs’ motivation game.
    • @ OU - L. Last year was a mess, but Venables is a good coach, they recruit well, and TCU decidedly does NOT have their number.

      Lol, I was also trying to fill out my phishing scheme flair script. I’m gonna hold my breath till the final whistle for sure, even if it’s more lopsided than we both seem to believe. I think UK, SCAR and Arky are the season defining games for y’all (partially because I think Utah dominates the conditioning battle at altitude, sloppy for sure though) so I’ll certainly be cheering for them in those matchups. Maybe not Kentucky, we’ll have to watch the polls. I will openly wish your horny frogs luck though.
