Judging by the opening bowl game lines, Vegas thinks we stack up pretty well.
Here are the SEC teams with the best chance of winning, in order, IMO:
LSU
Mississippi State
Arkansas
Georgia
Alabama
Auburn
Tennessee
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
Florida
I'd for sure pick Texas A&M and Florida to lose.
I'd for sure pick those first five teams to win.
That brings the SEC to 5-2 with 3 virtual pick 'ems (Auburn, Tennessee, & Ole Miss).
So I could see us going anywhere from 5-5 to 8-2.
I'd say 7-3 or 6-4 is most likely

Just compared my thoughts to the Vegas lines. Pretty much as I would have expected.
I'm surprised that Tennessee is a 9-point favorite against Northwestern. Northwestern is not a bad team. They beat Stanford and Wisconsin. Their only losses were to Iowa and Michigan. Not a bad resume.
While I think the Vols can win the game, I'd take Northwestern and 9 points in a heartbeat if I was a betting man.
I mean has Tennessee won or lost a game by more than a touchdown all season? They lost to Oklahoma, Florida, Arkansas, and Alabama by a combined 19 points... and beat Georgia by 7. I don't see the Vols beating any Top 25 team by more than a touchdown.
