No way you guys get beat by Clemson. UGA has a better offense than LSU.
This. Defensively we may have issues early, but they also lose Hopkins (accounted for 82 catches for 1,405 yards, an average of 17 yards per catch, with 18 touchdowns this season) as well as Ellington (accounted for 1100yds rushing & 250yds receiving with 10 td's this season) both to the draft. Double Watkins, spy Boyd. GG... or at least it should be. If not, CTG has some splaining to do.
Dunno how to predict 2013 as there are huge questions on defense. One part of me says to suck it up and deal but we'll lose some tough ones due to the loss of "9 NFL talents on the D." The other part says our run defense can't get any WORSE than it was this year at critical moments. Not sure how they plan on addressing NG but that will be the key. I'm going to run with the assumption that they will because who the eff wants to be a doomsday prepper?
W - 8/31 at Clemson
See Above
W - 9/7 South Carolina
Like our chances, but obviously toss up game. SOS has had our number. Minus Lattimore not sure they dominate the time of possession or have the ability to substantially hurt our defense which will be learning on the job.
9/14 Open
W - 9/21 North Texas
...
W - 9/28 LSU
Another toss-up and could easily go the other way. After watching their bowl game though, hard to believe they'll do much damage on offense and MAJOR rebuild on defense now due to draft losses.
W - 10/5 at Tennessee
Will not be surprised to see improvement from these guys in the near future but losing QB and elite receivers is going to make offense tough sledding.
W - 10/12 Missouri
Meth Lab Fire... Give them a taste of grown man football on the road.
W - 10/19 at Vanderbilt
James Franklin has impressed, but I think the sneak up factor is gone and we'll be prepared for this game. Also, little to no home field advantage when your fans are in the bleachers on their laptops doing homework.
10/26 Open
W - 11/2 Florida*
Love that we have an open date before the game... so do they.
I honestly haven't done enough looking into what they'll be bringing back and where they are making improvements. Just not sure that this team was all it was billed to be this year and not sure they improve a ton. Could be wrong so we'll call this one a toss-up too. W - 11/9 Appalachian State
...
W - 11/16 at Auburn
Almost like having an off week prior to this game. Late in the season so plenty of footage to prepare adequately for however Malzahn's offense ends up shaping up. Also, if the Nick Marshall at QB thing happens, I think the team steals his pride as revenge...
W - 11/23 Kentucky
Glad this game is at home... new coach will likely do good things for the program, likely not in year 1 though.
W - 11/30 at Georgia Tech
We run this state... nuff said.
So my severe Kool-Aid drinking self says 12-0... bring on Bama for part deux of the greatest SECCG ever.
Worst case with losing all "toss-ups" 9-3. Probably somewhere in between. IF Richt "Richts" and Murray "Murrays," 10-2 missing the SECCG to either UF or USC?

10-2, losses to Bama and Ole Miss.
What a difference a year makes! The past 3 years no SEC teams would predict a loss to OM.

If you don't agree with my pick of a Kentucky loss then so be it. I'm just pointing out we have a history of lackidaisical mentalities towards lesser opponents and that point of mere speculation does nothing more than to reflect that. It is probably SC's biggest problem however. Just speculation though. Don't take everything so seriously.

yeah I don't, especially at home where we have been pretty fricking good as of late.

yeah, but I like to think that next year is new and the past has no bearing on it

That may very well be so. Personally I don't see a UK loss but just threw it in there for sake of argument. Just pointing out that there needs to be some adjustments made going into these games that are already designated as wins before the game is even played. By far SC's biggest downfall. If this is addressed no reason SC couldn't have a 12-0 season.

The "u" will be undefeated. I would post the scores for each game, but be assured it will be a 3-4 TD spread every game.

10-2
I still don't think our offense is gonna be where it needs to be to compete for a NC in just one off season. I hope I'm wrong though

5-7 or 6-6 or 7-5 for the Hogs. Brutal schedule; new QB; new staff.
Any more than 7 wins next yr should win BB Coach of the Year honors.
Sadly, I just don't see that happening.
It will take 3 years to rebuild the Hogs.

10-2 to 12-0 are all reasonable projections for the Reg Season.
Bad News is we will be missing LB depth and Lattimore...that's about it.
Good News is, we won a lot of games without Lattimore anyways (11-1). Also:
-we are returning 9 starters on Offense, 4 are OL's..
-we are returning 5 starters on Defense, and 12 from the 2 Deep.
-Clowney is only getting better.
-We have 2 well placed bye weeks, 1 is before the UF game.
-Our OOC conference schedule is tougher than most teams, but it's not overwhelming. (UNC, UCF, Coastal, Clemson
-We have clemson at home to end the season.
-Our SECw opp's are Arky and Miss St.
Our 2 Key Games will be vs UGA and UF.
-If history repeats itself, UGA will have several players missing from the early season matchup and they're already missing 9 guys from their defense this year that wasn't great anyways.
-UF will have to play UGA, then Vandy then USC in order. We'll have that bye week before the game and it's in Columbia.
F**k it, I'm going to go ahead and say 12-0, I hate predicting anything less than excellence.

Florida relied very heavily on their salty defense - which loses 8 starters and will certainly take a step back, despite the depth and talent on the roster.
The offense will need to pick up the slack and outside of freshmen playing immediately and OL transfers like Garcia and Moore making a big impact, I don't think the offense is good enough to win games, unless Driskel really grows into the offense this off season.
Losing Caleb Sturgis is also very big. He won games for Florida this year with his accuracy and power.
I think Florida regresses to 8-4 or 9-3 in what is essentially the final transition year before Muschamp has a full complement of his players on offense and defense and destroys the SEC. I have made early predictions already with UF at 10-2, but think that is optimistic.
The losses will come to 3 or 4 of (FSU, LSU, UGA, USCe, Missouri, or Miami).
UF also only has 6 home games this year, and all the toughest games (UGA, LSU, USCe) are away from home.

I'm predicting the same...7-5 + a bowl win but beating Fla. and losing to Ole Miss.
Posted on 1/15/13 at 7:13 pm to Razordrew
LSU 10-2
most likely losses are @ Alabama and @ UGA (tho we've won a lot at Alabama of late and usually lost in Baton Rouge). I think LSU beat Florida and A&M given they have to come to Baton Rouge.
TCU opener will give a good idea of how ready to play the team will be as the year goes on. If they lose or scrape past them then we don't have a 2011 possibility - we are probably looking at a 2009 or 2012 type team
