Exactly. Its a very dangerous schedule. You drop some early games and the team gives up... you are staring at a miserable season. Auburn and Tennessee are sort of joined at the hip here. They both have to survive an early storm if they hope to achieve their goals.
I think the difference for Tennessee is that our schedule is always frontloaded and has been as long as I can remember. However, this season's front end slate is the easiest we've had in a loooong time. Playing V. Tech this year beats the hell out of playing Oregon and OU at their respective primes and while your own team sucks. In SEC play we've finally got a roster worth a shite while there's some uncertainty with others that we may be able to capitalize on.

If the Vols survive that murderous early season, and Va. Tech should be very winnable game... then yes, this could shape up to be a 10 win season.
Do the Vols make the CFP even if they make and win the SECCG? I can't say, I think the committee will hose us one of these years just to show they aren't biased.
If Butch goes full on spread/triple option or Dobbs develops a solid passing touch then the Vols have the talent to win it all. I'm just not sold on Jones to deliver that right now.
