That adds up to a 122-24 cumulative total record for Tennessee’s Western opponents since 2011. But perhaps crazier is their record coming into the game against UT. Outside of an Arkansas team that stumbled out of the gates in 2015, but still found a way to beat the Vols, Tennessee has played the hottest teams. Those teams have come into the game against UT with a combined record of 63-6, with three of those six losses coming from Arkansas last year.
And while the Vols were noticeably more competitive in 2015, the West still holds a 371-144 total scoring edge against UT since 2011.
Tennessee’s taken great steps early in 2016 to take early control of the East. And while an Eastern Division crown would certainly be a nice step for this program, the Vols will ultimately have to have some success against the West for this team to go beyond that. And just as it’s been since 2011, they’ll have to go through the best and the hottest to make that a reality.
This really didn't help us out during our down years.

It's not Florida's fault that LSU has been down. You Tennessee fans and your schedule threads

That is pretty much the entire West. Now you know what the teams in the West face almost every weekend.

Since 2008, Tennessee is 2-18 vs the SECW.
The two wins were to a 4-8 Mississippi team in 2010, and a 4-8 State team in 2008.
That's a 10.0% win ratio over 8 years.
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

Bama's record:
62-7
UT's other west opponents:
60-17
Not bad either way, but weighted by your permanent cross division opponent.

The UT fanbase is literally making me want to root for Bama to skull drag y'all. I freaking hate Bama so that is saying a lot.
