1. Tennessee could simply be the best team in the East
We’ve mentioned schedule, other teams’ weaknesses and a lot of other factors, but when it all boils down, there’s a chance that Tennessee might simply just be the best team in the East. The Vols have at least a chance to have the best quarterback, the best receivers, the best defensive line, the second-best running back and the best secondary in the East. None of those are givens, of course, but the Vols are legitimately in the conversation at all those positions.
The East, no doubt, is down compared to some other periods in SEC history, and with the Vols on the rise, it wouldn’t be stunning at all to see them take a run at the divisional crown.
