This year is just so damn difficult to predict. I think a legitimate argument could be made for 3-9 and a legitimate argument could be made for 9-3. If the train really has come off the tracks, I could see us losing an OOC game and all conference games. Conversely, if last year was an aberration, I could see those selections with an OM win giving us 9 wins. Reality is it will probably be somewhere in the middle.

8 wins I'm happy, 9 wins I'm ecstatic. 7 wins I'm very annoyed. 6 or less: FIRE PINKEL.

That seems very optimistic to me. Here's my guess on the Vegas lines each game. It adds up to

Favorite - 3
Pickem - 3
Underdog - 6

Hopefully they can overachieve and get 6 or 7 wins.

8/31 Murray State - Big Favorite
9/7 Toledo - Favorite
9/21 at Indiana - Pickem
9/28 Arkansas St - Favorite
10/5 at Vanderbilt - Underdog
10/12 at Georgia - Big Dog
10/19 Florida - Underdog
10/26 South Carolina - Underdog
11/2 Tennessee - Pickem
11/9 at Kentucky - Pickem
11/23 at Ole Miss - Underdog
11/30 Texas A&M - Underdog

9-3 or 10-2 would be better and doable for this team.

A year or 2 ago I might agree with that. I suppose it is doable, I just don't think it's likely. 2 losses would be unbelievable. I look at it as a .500 team and then if they play well, we'll finish a game or 2 above it and if we're as bad as last year, we'll finish a game or 2 below that.

8-4 seems very optimistic, but I suppose it's possible if we pull off that Florida upset and take care of business in the non-con. At least we get Florida at home this season.

Shitty guess. At worst that is a pickem game.

Kind of worried about Indiana on the road can remember someone saying Indiana could pull off that win. Might of been on college football live.

8-4 is definitely possible because of how the schedule sets up. A win at Indiana should mean you start 4-0 which would be huge for the confidence. Your schedule set up so poorly early in the year last year I think.

If you can take 2 of the next 4 (a very tough stretch) you will be sitting pretty at 6-2. Even if you take one you're 5-3 with several winnable games left. That last stretch of 4 you should be able to take 2 in, maybe 3. I think 7 wins is a reachable goal with 8 not out of the question by any means

Honestly, I don't know what to expect. Nothing would really surprise me tbh. If we can start 4-0, and go into the Vandy game with some confidence, I like our chances. It will get brutal in the SEC stretch though, because we have no non-conference games to break up the grind.

I like the positivity.

I'm still thinking 6-6 or 7-5.

Personally, 5-7, 6-6, and 7-5 all suck.

8-4 would be best case scenario, and is the only record that should keep Pinkel around.

Y'all and Ole Miss are the two toughest teams to predict this year in my opinion.

To build off your comment, can anyone explain to me why everyone has Ole Miss an automatic loss?

I have Ole Miss as a 7 to 8 winner this year, and the Mizzou game is more of toss-up to me. They only beat Auburn, Arkansas and Mississippi State last year (Overall 6-6 before winning their bowl game).

Sure, they had a good recruiting class but as we saw with DGB there is still an adjustment period for all freshmen. I just not completely sold on Ole Miss being this world beater like the press is.

I don't have them as an automatic loss for you at all. I see it as a toss up right now.

I think people are assuming they will build on their surprise year last year with the help of their recruiting class coming in. I think they played a little bit above their heads last year and I don't see that many true freshmen having a huge impact right away. It's hard for me to tell how good they really are. I could see them winning anywhere from 5 to 9 games

I agree with you, Shane. They're an unknown. And we play them late enough in the season that injuries to either team could make a real impact on the outcome of the game.

I think that was out biggest problem last year - we just didn't have SEC depth on the lines, and it showed. It takes time to build the depth that an Alabama or LSU or Georgia has. We're not there yet, nor is Ole Miss. So, that game could honestly come down to which team is the least beat up.

I think that is a pretty fair prediction.

I would not be shocked if you guys win 3 out of 4 of the UF, USC, OM, and A&M games.

I think UF overperformed and will take a step back, USC is totally unpredictable, not sold on OM, and will not be surprised if JFF can't make it to that game with his frame and style of play.

I think 2 & 2 is very likely.
