Realistic expectations of the Tennessee Vols in 2016

This squad will go 10-2, no better or no less. This squad is loaded top to bottom but that brutal four game stretch will probably result in two losses, if we go 3-1 in that stretch I'd be shocked. But we are way better than Vandy, Mizzou, Kentucky, and USC. So there is no way we'll lose those games and it basically comes down to that four game stretch in October.

9-3, New Year Day bowl. Sooo, I guess I meant 9-4.

10-2 isn't unrealistic at all.
But you'll still see this thread flooded with "8-4 or 7-5 VOLOLOL" from rantarded upvote fishermen.

We've known this for a while now

Is that a subtle bowl jab? Tennessee has won their last two January bowl games by a combined score of 90-34

And tbh I do expect us to lose a game we shouldn't, largely due to questionable coaching decisions. Probably UF, UGA, or A&M. Add a Bama loss and my expectation is that we'll go 10-2.

If Butch causes us to lose the UF game I'm going to lose it!

Unfortunately it wouldn't surprise me

10-2 isn't unrealistic as an expectation, but to say that's the floor is just silly. UT could easily drop all 4 games in that stretch. There's normally one team that sneaks up on them too, but I'd set the floor at more like 8-4.

10-2 With losses to Georgia and Va Tech.

9-3 or 10-2
you have to account for that 1 game you think you'll win, but lose. At least that's what I've learned as an LSU fan.

Sounds about right. Except it starts on 9/24.
