SEC PREVIEW: Vanderbilt

Unlike most previews, I'm not going in order of expected finish or alphabetically. Nope, I'm going crazy on your ass, reverse alphabetically. First up, Vanderbilt.

What a Vandy Fan Thinks: “How many Tennessee fans will I fire when I’m the CEO of this company?” No, seriously. “Well, we have to replace Jay, but we return 40 lettermen and 12 starters. We could be decent, maybe 6-6.”

What a Tennessee Fan Thinks: “Please don’t ask me how we lost to Vandy. Please don’t ask me how we lost to Vandy. Oh, they will be shitty again. They lost the best quarterback they have ever had. I’m thinking 2-10.”

What Do I Think: Let’s face it they won’t come close to 0.500. There is no way. They lost the best offensive talent they have had in the modern history of the school. Look at how much Ole Miss dropped off when they lost Eli and they had decent SEC caliber talent on their team. Plus, they have only won 9 SEC games in the last 10 years and only have one winning SEC record in 45 years. I’m thinking 3 to 4 wins.

Easily Win: None, its Vandy.
Should Win: Tennessee State, Temple, and Duke
Could Win: Kentucky
Might Lose: Ole Miss
Will Lose: Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee
