So I was told today that Tennessee will be in the playoffs next year?

I work with two die-hard Tennessee fans, and they both assured me of the following:

- Tennessee will win the SEC Championship game in 2016, which will put them in the playoffs.

- Joshua Dobbs will win the Heisman trophy.

- Butch Jones will receive the "Coach of the Year" award.

How much truth is there to this? I guess they are returning all 22 starters, minus the ones that will be arrested next summer of course. Could 2016 be the year of the Vols?

You guys wanted your coach fired and josh henson hired as the O.C.

The same henson that piloted the worst offense in College football.

Do you really wanna bring up stupid statements?

Returning 17 starters and 37/44 2 deep. Rest is not true although we should probably win 10-11 games pending the coaching.

Dateline : December 2014, Knoxville, TN: Tennessee will win the SEC in 2015.

If you guys find a way to frick this up, lord help you. That 2016 schedule is laughably easy. You get Bama at home and they are losing 20 guys from this year's team. You should go undefeated, hell.

And we will settle for nothing less. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dobbs and Hurd finish 1/2 in the Heisman voting.

Butch Jones has already proven his genius on the field.

Thank you for helping the Big Orange hype train along.

This is a pretty pointless thread. They have about as good of a chance as anyone in the SEC does next year.

You really think we'll be better than every team we play? I see

3 wins to start
4 basically coin flips in a row (we may be slightly better than UGA or A&M, but both are road games)
5 wins to finish

My assumption is that we split the 4 toss ups and go 10-2, but obviously that could vary. I'm not buying that UT will be better than Bama, even with their player losses after this year. Bama is a playoff contender every year that Saban is the coach.
