Phil Steele has us at 28 amongst a crowd of SEC teams

[Coach34]

30- Texas A&M
29- Auburn
28- Miss State
27- Tennessee


Mullen may not be able to beat an SEC West team other than Mississippi, but somehow our program remains highly thought of in the preseason while he is our coach.

And we get all 3 of those teams at home

Tennesee at 27.

I'm guessing he thinks Bray is going to cure their woes?

 

[Coach34]

Only question is can they start winning games

 

[dawgstudent]

it's hopefully going to be great.

but their D.... Not so much.

If they can beat NC St. early on, they should sweep OOC opponents.<div>
</div><div>In conference, will lose @UGA, @SC and to Bama.</div><div>
</div><div>They should be favored to beat Mizzo (I don't know much about them), Vandy & Ky.</div><div>
</div><div>The "toss up" games are Florida in Neyland (slight dog) and @MSU (after open date).</div><div>
</div><div>I'd put the "way to early" O/U at 7.5.....</div><div>
</div><div>

NC St - Lose
GA St. - Win
Fla - Probably Lose
Akron - Win
UGA - Lose
MSU - Probably Lose
Bama - Lose
USC - Lose
Troy - Win
Mizzou - Tossup
Vandy - Tossup
UK - Win

I'm going with 6-6 for the Vols.

he somehow overlooked the fact that Nutt was still here at the time
