South Carolina, as noted, is the real news here. They may not be headed to 1-11 seasons, but they may struggle to make bowl games for a while. Getting to 6-6 is really not THAT tough, 3 pastries OOC and 3 SEC wins. But they could be the team other SEC teams use to get to 6-6, like Vandy.
I think if the Vols get a "good (not great) coach" they should get to 8-9 wins most years, ten on occasion.
Then they will fire that good coach and hire "Butch Jones" again.
