Tennessee Volunteers had an improbable 5-0 start in 2016

2016 was supposed to be the Year of the Vols. The Tennessee Volunteers had the most experience returning of any team in the SEC East last season, and they were everyone’s pick to get to Atlanta. And while they got the results the were expecting in the first five games of last season, it was a little more dramatic than they drew it up.

And that leads us to no. 62 on the Southbound and Down College Football Countdown.

The Tennessee Volunteers had combined deficit of 62 points in their first five games of the 2016 season, and they went 5-0.
