Tennessee Will Win The SEC East

This might be the most bold prediction of them all, but I think it’s finally time for the Vols to win the SEC East.

The program that’s predicted to win the SEC East, usually doesn’t win the SEC East.

No one has predicted Tennessee to win the SEC East, which is why I think it will probably happen.

The landscape in the East will be as muddy as ever in 2017. If the Vols can steal a win from Florida or Georgia, I think they’ll be on the right path to win the East. If they lose three conference games, it will be tough, but still doable depending on what happens with Florida and Georgia.

I think both the Bulldogs and the Gators are going to lose some games they aren’t expected to lose, which will open the door for Tennessee.

Obviously a lot has to go right for the Volunteers to win the East, but it’s so absurd that it almost has to happen.
