Mizzou's defense should be better next year, and we finished 10th in the country.

The offense is full of fresh and sophomores so I expect it to be at least an inch better. but who knows.

Arkansas had enough injuries this year at critical positions to last a decade. I EXPECT our players to stave off broken appendages and finish 7_5/8_4ish. Many losses on offense, but surely our D(Which actually has talent and depth) to play much better, thus not putting aforementioned offense in position where they need to put up fitty to get the win.

11-1 with the loss coming to either Arkansas, Ole Miss, or Alabama.

Massachusetts - W
Kentucky - W
North Texas W
at Tennessee - W (Toss Up)
at Vanderbilt - W
LSU - L
Missouri - W
Bye
vs. Georgia W
at Arkansas L (Toss Up)
South Carolina W
Presbyterian W
at Florida State L (Toss Up)

9-3, 10-2 seems about right with no games that are really definitive losses. Very possible to win every game if QB play is even just mediocre. Its also possible the team could get better and have less than 10 wins depending on how good UGA and UT are

I will say that I do think Tennessee beats UF next year, and of course I'll talk shite sometimes, but I don't blame UF fans at all for thinking they'll win next year, 2017, etc. I would too if I were a UF fan.

I just couldn't bring myself to put an L there

That game scares me the most. It will be a new QB (Franks or Del Rio) going to Knoxville for their first road game and their first game against a big time team. Plus, our defense is getting gutted, new everything up the middle and we already had trouble stopping Hurd, Dobbs, and co. this year.

Contrary to popular belief, UFs defense is NOT getting gutted.

The DL and secondary will still be nasty. Now LB... that is scary with Morrison graduating and if Davis jumps early.

I expect anywhere between 8-4 to 10-2 next year.

Losses to FSU and Tennessee. Arky and LSU as tossups.

Seriously, if Tennessee doesn't win the East next year, they will never win it with Butch coaching.

Agree. I see us going 10-2, we will lose to Florida and Alabama, because we always lose to Florida and Alabama.


Although, I feel much better about the Alabama game. I think Smart goes to UGA, and Kiffin ends up at Miami, and ***BOLD PREDICTION*** Saban heads to the NFL, Finally.

Morrison, VH3, Bullard, Poole are out.

Maye, Neal, and Davis can all jump early.

Mcalister and Cox can too, but I think their best move is definitely to stay another year.

It really depends on who goes to the league. I have no idea if Maye and Neal will leave or stay for another year at this point, they might be being told they could go pretty early in the draft.

I have us splitting home games vs UF and Bama, and splitting road games at UGA and A&M for a 10-2 season. At least one of those two streaks must end next year for me to be satisfied in 2016, and if not, we damn well better win all of the rest and the SEC east.

With 5 seconds to play, and Tennessee leading Florida by 5, Butch will look down at his chart, then dial up a pass which will be intercepted and taken back for a touchdown as time expires. Tennessee ranters will fire off volley after volley of pxrn bombs.

Some cynical, masochistic part of my brain believes this 100%.

Honest realistic expectation is anywhere from 9 wins to whatever higher amount.

LOTS of transition again for us this upcoming year. Despite how we've trudged through two seasons with strange QB situations and a new OC, I still don't want to be unrealistic about the things that can make a major change.

QB's and coordinators are pretty vital for success and/or consistency.

9 minimum and beating Auburn if we dip that low.

Very plausible. Have the talent and an easier road than some.

Agree. Its all for the taking next year. Fuente @ VT could make things interesting early, but getting Fla and Bama @ home and UGA with a new coach, they could wrap the east up by their bye week
