New Game-by-Game Outlook for Tennessee's Final Four Games

Rocky Top Insider has published an updated game-by-game prediction for Tennessee football with four games remaining on the schedule. The piece revisits the outlook for each of those remaining games rather than treating the rest of the season as a single block.

Predictions at this point in a season carry more weight than they did earlier in the year, because there is now a larger body of results to judge a team against. With only four games left, each result has an outsized effect on how Tennessee's season will ultimately be viewed, and there is little room left for the picture to change gradually.

For Tennessee, the closing stretch will decide the tone of the finish. Taking the remaining games one at a time is more than a cliche here — with so few opportunities left, a single win or loss in that run can swing the final assessment of the Vols' season.
