I can see us winning 10.
I could also see us losing 4 or 5.
We have a realistic shot of beating everyone we play this year if each game was in a vacuum. But we don't have the depth or experience at a couple of positions to make it through the entire season.
Offensive line and linebackers are the two questions that will make the difference new have the talent on both groups...just need to see if they can put it together.

Yep, it's tough. I think we do 8-4 and are still a very good team.
Heck, let's just go ahead and go 7-5 and take the "best 5 loss team in history" title away from Arkansas.

I remember the "we have the most 5.7 rated 3 stars in the country" recruiting year. It was beautiful.
Probably got the numbers wrong...forgot how rivals ranks.

First of all, thanks for not being a full-on rantard. I'm happy to see someone try to have a legitimate discussion.
While the opener amounts to a defacto road game, I don't think the crowd will play much of a factor one way or another in this one. I expect the Rebel faithful to travel well enough for that to be the case.
As far as our absolutely brutal September start, there really is no sugar coating. Any reasonable fan would be happy to walk away 2-2 and ecstatic for anything better. The only silver lining here is that we may very well see 3 freshman quarterbacks. One would think freshman quarterbacks in the 1st month of the season will still be very green. Ole Miss could be good enough defensively and smart enough offensively to take advantage of such young QBs. But again, 2-2 or 3-1 is nothing to be ashamed of.
After September, Arkansas and especially LSU are the only teams we face where I could see a loss being more likely than not.
Best case scenario = 1/2 losses (FSU/Bama/LSU)
Worst case = 4/5 losses (FSU/Bama/UGA/Arkansas/LSU)

really? Their record crowd at home is just over 62K. They don't even travel well to home games given that number.

Hell, yes it does.

so expand beyond 62K if there's such a demand.

I'll get out the folding chairs right away. That easy, right?

I'll be satisfied with 9 wins. 9-10 wins in a season is the best an Ole Miss fan can hope for. I'd love to see us do better....but WAOM so its probably not very realistic

What makes you say that; just based on emotion?

Let me guess, you are a politician? I assume a politician because you just wrote a ton of stuff but didn't say or mean a thing.

I think they are EXTREMELY lucky that Wofford and Gsu aren't switched. Georgia southern is the definition of a trap team and putting them between Fsu and Bama would have been a disaster.

Just because he actually tried having a valid conversation instead of the "0-12 season followed by death penalty" doesn't mean he didn't say anything.

West is brutal this year. Imo we see a 2 loss west champ. If they win in Atlanta whoever it is and go 11-2 they better get into the final 4.
