The Tennessee Volunteers have not been a fun team to watch the past few weeks with a close loss to Texas A&M and then a blowout loss to Alabama followed by this week's complete implosion against a lowly South Carolina team. That 24-21 loss puts the Vols at 5-3 on the season and 2-3 in the conference.

The first two of those losses were understandable as both teams were in the top 10 when the Vols played them, but to lose to South Carolina after a bye week was inexcusable to Kevin Carter, Paul Finebaum and Jason Sehorn:
Tennessee is all but out of the SEC race before November.

The Vols are now pretty much out of the SEC East race and would need some sort of crazy miracle to get back in it. Even Kentucky has a shot better than they do right now! While Jones is likely to keep his job this season thanks to a ridiculous amount of injuries taking the blame for those losses, he will need to improve greatly next season if he wants to stay head coach at Tennessee.
