Tennessee was coming in with the 8th shortest odds of winning the 2016 College Football National Championship.
The Vols are a -145 favorite to win OVER 9.5 regular season games while the Mountaineers were coming in at 9 regular season games.
Regarding the high expectations for Tennessee, Vols head coach Butch Jones notes: “There’s always high expectations at Tennessee. That’s basically what you want. The expectations have to be higher internally. I’m proud of where we’ve come. Really, we’ve only had 2.5 recruiting classes in building from Ground Zero. I’m really proud of our players, our support staff, our administration and our coaches.
“We want to embrace them and not allow them to seep in and affect you in a negative way. This team has taken a workmanlike approach each and every day.”
