The Vols did what they were expected to do against UConn. There's not really much to say about that game. The game this Saturday in Columbia, Missouri will decide whether or not this season is a failure in my opinion. If they Vols lose, they are staring at 8-4 and probably the Gator Bowl. Maybe Reliaquest. If the Vols win, they are still alive for 9-3 and the Citrus Bowl and a shot at their 2nd consecutive 10 win season. Something that hasn't happened here since 2003-04. Of course the Vols still have an outside chance to win the SEC East but they need to beat Missouri and they need a Georgia loss to Ole Miss to set up an SEC Championship play in game next week. Wins over Missouri and Georgia would likely land the Vols in their 2nd consecutive New Year's Six Bowl, which hasn't happened since 1998-99. There's also a very outside chance for the Vols to make the Playoff. For that to happen, the Vols need to win out and have Georgia lose to Ole Miss. Then they need to get revenge on Alabama in the SEC Championship game and have some teams in front of them lose. Those are the scenarios on the table. The Vols still have a lot to play for.
