1. Florida
While no single game defines a season, it’s tough to envision UT having the year that many are hoping for without knocking off the Gators in Knoxville on Sept. 24. On paper, UT looks like it should handle business against Florida, but the Vols will be carrying the burden of an 11-year losing streak to the Gators, in addition to the reputation of not finishing off games last year. A win over Florida could propel UT to big things. A loss would really hurt the Vols mentally and in the SEC standings. This is about as close to a must-win as you’ll find in college football.
