re: 10 wins for VOLS?

I wouldn't bet on this but anything is possible. Butch is a good recruiter apparently by the rankings but so were Weis, Zook, Muschamp, and many others. 10-2 on this prediction has the Vols beating every team except the two that have more NFL talent clearly. It also assumes Butch is winning against the teams with more or less equal talent or out coaching them. If I was a Vol fan, I'd be happy with 8-4 and very happy with 9-3, a bowl win would be icing especially after a 9-3 which probably means a decent opponent.
