Need an easy east schedule and a down year from Bama, but we have to get there before A&M develops these classes. LSU will be toast when Texas moves in and Auburn should continue trending down. Ole Miss will never be a real player.

We should start in the top 10-15 next season.

The window might barely be open, but it's at least open (unless your name is dchog).

Depending on how recruits and transfers do I've got us picked about same as this year. 6-6 to 8-4 regular season.

KJ is gonna be our workhorse if a deep threat doesn't emerge.

It's still winter and I'm not drinking Kool aid yet. Let's see if we even have a defense next year ...

I agree with much of this. And I want to believe. And I think our offense can get there.

But. Watching those LBs and DBs tonight made me realize just how far we have to go defensively. The speed and athleticism, the instincts, the quickness they use to close on plays. Geeeeez. Those two Ds are truly in another league. Can we get there?

All we need is more speed, size and depth.

9-3. Arkansas has a chance to finish second in the West behind Bama.

Next year we have the kind of schedule that sets up well for a run. Only one truly weak team on it but all are beatable except Bama and we get them at home. As long as they don't run us out of our own stadium we would be in at 11-1. It's a bit of a dream but actually possible.

Even if Cinci kinda sucks next year, opening up with them being highly ranked will be a good spring board into the early conversation.

Going to be a lot of disappointment on this board next year. If the season were to start today we would have the worst defense in the SEC and possible all of P5.

Obviously there is a whole offseason ahead but the kool aid is flowing early.

We may take a step back next season IMO

Overall maybe but we could still end up with a better record having a worse team. 9-4 was the best record I could have ever imagined us having with that schedule. Next years is still tough but much more manageable.

Don't get me wrong it could all go sideways with a quickness too but there aren't as many games that just seem like they are impossible like this year.

Someone mixed some of grandpa's cough syrup with the Kool-Aid.

Not having Georgia on the schedule gives Arkansas a better shot in the West. Bama is the only one on the schedule that is better than Arkansas but how much better? It will be at home and gives Arkansas a decent chance of pulling off the upset.

Hey man, there are no Little Rock games this year so we don't have to worry about embarrassing losses to teams like San Jose St, W. Kentucky, Colorado St. or N. Texas. Don't be bitter.

And I prefer Fentanyl in my koolaid. Now if you will excuse me I need to go to the store and pass off some of these fake 20's. See you guys later.

For the love of God, can next year finally be the year we beat a bad Auburn team?

Just like our basketball team.

We return 6 starters on offense and 3 on defense. Hate to say it but it’s more likely that we suck than make the CFP.

The defensive line returns some good depth.
