Every summer Tennessee football fans around the country look at the upcoming season’s schedule. Looking at a schedule is an opportunity for fans to get excited about football. Or in Tennessee’s case most seasons, come to terms with one of the hardest schedules in the nation.
Now, there is not much Tennessee can do about their schedule. They play in the toughest conference in the SEC. Their cross-division rivals are Alabama, and now Georgia looks to be a powerhouse in the making. Maybe the Alabama of the East.
That is not even mentioning the fact that the Vols second opponent from the West Division always seems to have an exceptional season.
