You can't use caveats for victories. The records are the records.
And, what don't you understand about math? If Tennessee is playing Georgia, Florida, and Alabama every year, they have to beat 2 out of the three to have a chance at a 2 loss or 3 loss season. Just like Florida plays Georgia, Tennessee, and LSU and has to beat 2 out of the three to have a chance of a 2 or 3 loss season. Georgia plays Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn and has to beat 2 out of the 3 to have a chance of a 2 or 3 loss season. That is why only Alabama out of the SEC has averaged 2 or fewer losses per season over the past 5 years. It's simple math that you can't have Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, and LSU all averaging 2 or less wins per season. At best, only 1 or 2 of the schools can do it over any 5 year period. But that is not the fan expectation and that is why Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and LSU have all dumped coaches and Auburn has been close to dumping their coach last year.
I used to work in Tennessee and consistent 3 and 4 loss seasons are not acceptable to the fan base, but that is the ceiling for Tennessee in the SEC unless they find the next Nick Satan.
