8-4 prediction for the season.

 

[Perd Hapley]

8-4 is most likely result. We won’t go 3-0 against UK, Auburn, and OM. But we won’t go 0-3 either. Hope we can swing 2-1.

This feels a lot like the 2010 team to me. A team that is generally good and fun to watch. A team that mostly does what they are supposed to and is likely a Top 15 squad that is still going to struggle to win more than 8 due to the difficult schedule.

This team is better than the 2010 team I think. Relf was our QB. We were pretty one dementional.

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

I’m not convinced yet that we won’t run the table against KY, Auburn, and OM. We are a lot better team than I thought we were at the beginning of the season.

I see what you did there.

Sounds good but you forgot two things:

1. We’re beating all three of those teams
2. We’re also beating Georgia

We’ve lost one we shouldn’t, we’re still due to win one we shouldn’t. The only games left on the schedule we *shouldn’t* win are AL and GA. We’re better than Kentucky and Auburn. Ole Miss is a toss up.

This is where I'm at. I think we should beat all three. With two of them on the road, it will be a tall order, but I'd put it at like 40% right now that we sweep.

2010 was quite a team. I'm not looking at the schedule, but I think all 4 losses were to Top 10 teams, possibly all from the SECW? The west was loaded that year.
