They had percentage odds on the SEC East Championship. Tennessee 65%, Florida 33%, and the rest of the field, 2%. They only mentioned Georgia as being in the 2% calculation, which is odd, given that they have yet to play Florida or Auburn, and have 3 SEC losses, already.

I think everyone would agree that the stars would have to line up in almost Biblical fashion for the Cats to compete seriously for the East title.

Maybe an Act of God?

What's this I've heard about a hurricane forcing Florida to play in Baton Rouge?

Am I hearing spooky music firing up in the background?? (Or is it the Southern Miss fight song?)

Well, I'm glad the Cats got NO mention as a possibility. If the stars align and the winds blow correctly, it would be too cool to shock the world.

I think I'd put more like Tennessee 80%, Florida 15% ... field 5%.

Tennessee's schedule from here out is a joke. Missouri/Kentucky (both at home) their toughest games left, and they'll be 2-3 TD favorites in those games. That said, you can definitely paint a scenario in which we get to 5-3 and in the conversation.

Wouldn't UF have to lose 3 conference games and us to win out of we were to have a shot? If that is case I don't think so, hope, but do not think it will happen.

They would have to lose 2 more - which is possible. They have LSU and Arkansas - which are both away games for them.

Either way, in theory, if UK wins out and UF loses 2 then UK would win the East.

That had to be McElroy and Spears, they think the SEC west is better than the NFL. UT is definitely in the drivers' seat, Florida will lose at least 1, possibly 2 or 3 more games.
UK actually has a punchers chance, but must beat MSU, Mizzou, and UGA.

fine by me, lets keep coasting under the radar & with zero expectations. will result in a Georgia and/or UT giving us less than their full focus & intense effort, think they can just toss their helmets on the field & walk away with wins.

I have frequently called the 2016 SECE as a 2 division division. About the only thing unexpected (at least right now) is JawJaw's apparent slippage from the "top 3" to the "other 4". It is almost hard to believe that an "average at best" UK team now has a very reasonable shot at 5 SEC wins for the first time since 1977. Sometimes good (or bad) things happen when you least expect it.
