The Southeastern Conference will kick off its 10-game league-only schedule Saturday.
Ahead of Week 1, the USA TODAY Network coverage team discussed best and worst case scenarios for each SEC team in 2020.
Vols Wire’s best and worst case scenarios for Tennessee in 2020
Best case for Tennessee: 8-2
Tennessee enters 2020 on a six-game winning streak. Jeremy Pruitt has the Vols back to a standard of beating Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Vanderbilt – now he has to defeat the big three in Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Quarterback play will dictate how well Tennessee fares in contests against Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Texas A&M.
Worst case for Tennessee: 5-5
Tennessee is back to where it should be as a program in being able to defeat Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. The Vols also travel to Arkansas in a contest that should give UT at least five wins in 2020.
