As hard as it may be to believe for non-Tennessee fans, the Volunteers have won double-digit games just once in the past 10 years. That was in 2007, which was the second-to-last season of coach Phil Fulmer’s tenure.

But the dark days of Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley appear long gone. Is there a program that looks more on the rise in the SEC than Tennessee right now under Butch Jones? To think, some Vols backers were less than pleased with his hiring.

Let’s break down Tennessee’s all-time record against all foes on the coming season’s schedule.

2015 record according to history: 4-6-2
Most unfamiliar opponent: Bowling Green, Western Carolina
Most familiar opponent: Vanderbilt
Most lopsided series: vs. Kentucky

*Based on which team holds an all-time series advantage.

Sept. 5 vs. Bowling Green (Nashville): Don’t think this is just a glorified scrimmage against the Falcons of the Mid-American Conference ahead of a Week 2 showdown with Oklahoma. Bowling Green is one of the better programs in the MAC and reached the conference title game in 2014, getting blown out by Northern Illinois. The Falcons beat South Alabama in the Camellia Bowl to finish at 8-6. BGSU did beat Big Ten team Indiana last season for what that’s worth.

Series history: First meeting.

Sept. 12 vs. Oklahoma: The Sooners are ranked 19th in the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll and they’re easily one of the best non-conference teams to visit an SEC school this season. OU still doesn’t know who its starting quarterback will be — probably Baker Mayfield — but claims one of the nation’s top running backs in Samaje Perine, who rushed for 1,713 yards and 21 scores as a freshman in 2014. He also set the FBS single-game record with 427 yards against Kansas.

Series history: Oklahoma leads, 2-1. Sooners beat visiting Vols 34-10 last season when OU was ranked No. 4. UT quarterback Justin Worley was sacked five times, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.

Sept. 19 vs. Western Carolina: The Catamounts are an FCS team that finished 7-5 last season. Not sure how focused the squad will be for this one with a huge game against Presbyterian up after Tennessee! Western Carolina did cash a big check by playing at Alabama last season and lost 48-14. This likely will be a huge letdown game for UT after Oklahoma and ahead of the SEC opener.

Series history: First meeting.

Sept. 26 at Florida: Tennessee’s first look at the Gators under new coach Jim McElwain. Florida still doesn’t know who its starting quarterback is, either. It’s going to be redshirt freshman Will Grier or sophomore Treon Harris. The latter led the Gators to a 4-2 record in six starts last season. Grier was a touted recruit.

Series history: Florida leads, 25-19. The Gators won 10-9 last season in Gainesville. Harris led both of the Gators’ scoring drives after replacing an ineffective Jeff Driskel.

Oct. 3 vs. Arkansas: The Razorbacks were 7-6 last season and are No. 24 in the USA Today Poll. They closed last season playing really well with routs of LSU, Ole Miss (both shutouts) and then Texas in the Texas Bowl. Hogs may have nation’s best 1-2 punch at running back in Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins. Each rushed for at least 1,110 yards and 12 scores in 2014.

Series history: Tennessee leads, 13-4. Vols lost last meeting 49-7 at Arkansas in 2011.

Oct. 10 vs. Georgia: The Dawgs are No. 9 in the USA Today Poll. If dealing with the Razorbacks’ stellar rushing duo wasn’t enough, here the Vols have to face maybe the nation’s best back overall and a Heisman Trophy favorite in Nick Chubb. He rushed for 1,547 yards on 219 carries (an amazing 7.1 yards per carry) as a freshman despite backing up Todd Gurley for part of the season.

Series history: Georgia leads, 21-20-2. UGA won 35-32 in 2014 behind 208 yards and two TDs from Gurley. He’s with the Rams now.

Oct. 24 at Alabama: This may represent the toughest back-to-back for any school in the SEC. After facing the East Division-favored Dawgs, SEC West favorite Alabama is next for Tennessee. At least the Vols have a bye week in between. The Tide are No. 3 in the USA Today Poll. Who will be their starting quarterback? Most believe Jake Coker.

Series history: Alabama leads, 52-37-7. Tide won their eighth in a row in series last year, 34-20. Of course Bama’s offensive coordinator is Lane Kiffin.

Oct. 31 at Kentucky: The Wildcats have some talent, but most project them to finish sixth in the East Division as they did in 2014. UK lost its final six games and hasn’t been to a bowl game since 2010.

Series history: Tennessee leads, 72-18-8. Vols won 50-16 last season behind three TD passes and a TD run from Joshua Dobbs. It was UT’s 29th win in the past 30 meetings.

Nov. 7 vs. South Carolina: Tennessee fans still thoroughly enjoy beating the Ol’ Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier, from his days at Florida and that famous Citrus Bowl quote. The Gamecocks finished a disappointing 7-6 in 2014. Their defense allowed 34 or more points in seven games. It should be much better this year.

Series history: Tennessee leads, 24-7-2. The Vols won 45-42 in overtime last year despite trailing 42-28 with 4:52 left in regulation.

Nov. 14 vs. North Texas: The Mean Green is a Conference USA team that finished 4-8 last season. North Texas was one of the nation’s worst passing teams, averaging only 173.3 yards per game. Its most high-profile opponent in 2014 was Texas, and the Mean Green lost 38-7.

Series history: North Texas leads, 1-0. It won 21-14 in 1975.

Nov. 21 at Missouri: The Tigers have surprised everyone by winning back-to-back East Division titles, but a third consecutive appearance in Atlanta isn’t expected this year. Then again, it wasn’t the past two. Missouri is No. 23 in the USA Today Poll and does bring back QB Maty Mauk.

Series history: Missouri leads, 3-0. The Tigers won 29-21 last year. That was UT’s only loss in its final five games (including a bowl).

Nov. 28 vs. Vanderbilt: The Commodores were the SEC’s only winless team in 2014 and are projected to finish last again in the East Division. They were pretty much awful both offensively (119th in points) and defensively (106th). So nowhere to go but up.

Series history: Tennessee leads, 74-26-4. Volts won 24-17 last year to get bowl eligible and to end a two-game losing streak in the series.
