Tennessee football: Vols winning 9 games is becoming a real talking point

It started last week on the ESPN Football Power Index. The analytics made Tennessee football the favorite in nine games for the 2019 season, which included all four non-conference games, three winnable home games against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, South Carolina Gamecocks and Vanderbilt Commodores, and a road game against the Kentucky Wildcats.

The shocker, though, was that the FPI favored the Vols ever so slightly to beat the Missouri Tigers to get to 9-3. This was just one index, though, so we have to take things more from an overall perspective when it comes to 2019.
