Can you see this Vandy team pulling out 6 wins?

The Dores are currently sitting at 3-4 (1-3). Assuming they take care of FCS Tennessee State, here is the remaining schedule after that:
@ #21 Auburn
@ Missouri
vs #23 Ole Miss
vs #18 Tennessee
They will need to beat a struggling Missouri team, which is definitely doable, but it's always tough to win on the road in the SEC. The question is can they upset one of those ranked teams to get to 6 wins and a bowl game? Auburn is a good team, but has been inconsistent at times this season. Ole Miss has had a tough time on defense, but that's still a dangerous club with an explosive offense. Tennessee is also talented, but has had trouble taking care of the football. I think Tennessee is most prone to the upset, given that Dobbs is a turnover machine. There's a possibility that they will have clinched a down division at that point, and may overlook Vanderbilt. What are your thoughts?

It's possible. I think UT or, more likely Ole Miss will implode down the stretch. The Auburn game will probably be an ugly slugfest unless their offense keeps improving as drastically as they have.

I think it is possible, but unlikely. Of course, that's what I said about the possibility of a win at UGA, too!

Pretty good call on this, DotP! Very surprised that we made it to 6 after losing to Mizzou!

I thought an imploding UT or Ole Miss would let us win ONE of those games to go with a win at Missouri. I definitely wasn't expecting to win BOTH games after LOSING to Missouri. This team has disappointed me more than a few times this year (SC, GT, UK, and Missouri), but they have certainly done us proud in other games (UGA, OM, and UT).
