Does this include the path of “making a bowl” like we did last season?

If not, I’d suggest that his prediction is 21% above the actual chances.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Connelly used to be among the most accurate back in the day. I haven't kept up lately, so assuming he stays on top of transfers and all that, yeah, I believe him.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

He's about 20% too high.

 

[dorndawg]

He's giving us 4% more of a chance than me.

It’s at least 1.77% too high, no matter how optimistic you are***

[hatfieldms]

My calculations came out to 19.83% so we are close

Typical pre-sh*tters

 

[The Peeper]

Laughed when I saw our 21% chance, and after us it jumps significantly to Auburns 74%.

I almost cried. It’s bad.

[Maroon Eagle]

Our chances are 50-50: We will or will not go to a bowl game. **

Hoping about a dozen other teams have some really dumb players.....

Too high

This Lebby experiment is not going well :/

And the ending will be here before you know it.

So a 21% chance of going 6-6 while many are saying Lebby needs 7-5 to keep his job? Not looking good. I will say though that 6-6 is the new 7-5 given the 9th SEC game so I think if he goes 6-6 he will be given another year anyway.

You’re an idiot. No one is releasing NIL numbers. If you would have even read the Twitter thread( I know reading is hard for you) the poster even says they aren’t sure and are sourcing the amount from some other tweet.
your ignorance supersedes your being a dumbass.

There's a 21% chance Lebby gets fired in September.

From another thread, apparently the spelling is dubmass.
