It’s that time boys. Fall camp starts in what 1.5 weeks.

Thread can be schedule prediction, game prediction, ranking prediction, standings prediction, or players predictions. Have at it.

My prediction is probably a shocker for the west…

West
aTm
Bama
LSU
Auburn
Arky
OM
MSU

East
UGA
USCe
UT
UF
UK
Mizz
Vandy

I have us right on schedule probably 7-5 or 8-4. There will be a learning curve. My biggest concern is are we gonna be a “tough” team. Physical and how well we tackle on defense. I think we are gonna be around 50/50 run/pass. Probably around 35 each per game over the course of the season. Injuries to starters could swing things wildly.

Let’s keep it clean boys and WarEaGal. No one is an idiot or moron for their predictions so instead of pissing matches just post what you think. Let’s roll!!

I am thinking along the lines of 8-4. The only thing I am really sure of is that this season will be better than the last. How could it not?

I may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but I ain’t the most dim either.

However?…I’m DEFINITELY one of the most optimistic ‘sum bitches in the damn box.

So?…what the Hell?…Even if the math doesn’t add up looking at our slate for the season?

frick It….

I’m going with 9-3

Gonna add last year I made the prediction that the year would be determined straight up the middle. Meaning RB, QB, C, NT, ILB, S. Only 2
Of them I would give a C or higher grade, RB and S(when Simpson came along)

This year is just the opposite I think everything depends on the outside. Can this group of WRs make plays, game changing plays can they win ball games, I’m not sure. Can we set the edge in the run game. If we can’t do that developing a pass rush means nothing. Can our outside backers chase down plays from behind, can our cornerbacks not only grade out well in coverage but can that turn into some big game situational turnovers.

Can I ask a really stupid question? How do you figure that aTm will be 1st in the West? They sucked last year. There are some decent players in their incoming class but I don't see a path to the SEC championship this season. What am I missing?

This year seems almost impossible to predict for Auburn. I don’t even know who 60% of the team is. I’m just going to say 8-4, but who knows.
There is hope now though. Haven’t had that in a while. Starting to get 5-stars in has me excited.

West
1. LSU
2. aTm
3. Bama
4. Auburn
4. Arkansas
6. Ole Miss
7. Mississippi State

East
1. UGA
2. Florida
3. Tennessee
4. South Carolina
5. Kentucky
6. Mizzou
7. Vandy

Petrino schemes and I think their QB will be the top QB in the conference this season. They will be able to stop the run on defense. Stopping the run and good to great QB play has always won in conference

Petrino schemes


That could go one of two ways. Petrino has a well-deserved reputation as a quarterback guru and could help turn things around on offense. But Petrino also has a well-deserved reputation for being conniving and shady. Making Jimbo look like shite to stage a coup and get the head coaching job for himself is something I would not put past him.

I could see that happening hence why I came back with the caveat of if we beat aTm to watch out… that goes for both teams

But in the end I think aTm figures out a way to hold it together for the year. Might be some tough behind the scenes stuff go on at Aggieland but Jimbo and Petrino need something right to go for them both so if Petrino stunk it up to get Jimbo fired he wouldn’t be offered the job. He’s to toxic. Now you keep your nose clean a year or 2 and run a good system and someone might give him another shot. So I think at least on the practice field and game days you might get the best from both those.

Yeah that will be just like every OC Gus hired but far worse because of Petrino.

A&M will be a shitshow again
