There going to have to have a 9 win season first. Not going to happen this year, and even making a bowl with 6 wins is looking shaky. Tennessee still has games with Kentucky, Southern Miss, Missouri, LSU and Vanderbilt. I don't see them beating LSU, which means they'd have to take 3 of the other 4. That's possible, but I'll believe it when it happens. They'll have to start scoring touchdowns on offense for starters.
They should beat Kentucky, Missouri, Southern Miss. and Vandy. I said should, as nothing in the SEC is written on stone.
