Let's look at the interesting pattern starting from the arbitrary starting point at the distant year 2008.

Ole Miss's Main Eastern Opponent
----------------------------

2008 - Florida
2009 - South Carolina
2010 - Tenennsee
2011 - Georgia
2012 - Georgia
2013 - Missouri
2014 - Tennessee

SEC East Winner
---------------

Florida
Florida
South Carolina
Georgia
Georgia
Missouri
Tennesee?

Facts don't lie. See, I thought it was simply a coincidence; but look at Missouri. Missouri was a terrible team in 2012, it took the entire SEC East being down for them to make it to the SECCG. But there was also one other force working for them, and that was that they were playing Ole Miss in the same year. And records show that if you're in the Eastern division and you're not Vanderbilt or Kentrucky, playing(beating is optional) Ole Miss as your Western division opponent, means you're going to the SECCG.

Want some further evidence of this to be true? Look at Tennessee's recruiting class? Why would so many recruits commit to a team with a losing season record and nearly a decade of overall disappointment? Destiny.

Would be nice but I doubt we make a run before 2015.

They would have to lose to us. It's the main reason they didn't go to Atlanta last year.

Maybe you should have started with 2011, because 2009 and 2010 don't seem to fit your narrative.

A better question would be does Tennessee finish above .500 next year?

1. No UT does not win the East

2. USC did not play Ole Miss in 2010 and actually beat UF in 08, so your theory is debunked

Man, I hadn't considered that. It all makes sense now...

I knew this year was going to be special, thanks DM4L!

Yes. the entire East is dumpster fire except SC, and UT owns SC.
