FOR OLE MISS FANS ONLY

4 or more losses in the regular season would be a disappointment.

I expect 2 or 3 in the L column.

there are some 2010 NFL mock drafts out that forecast several teams on OM schedule putting more players in the NFL at the end of the year than OM. However, the number 1 x factor is the QB posistion and right now Snead is the predicted #2 guy. The predictions do not mean alot other than the guys that study this shite for a living probabaly think Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, South Carolina, and LSU are going to put more guys in the NFL after the season which I guess that means all those teams have more talent in their roster according to the scouts.


Judging by that number a person would think Ole Miss should be about 3-5 in conference. 3-5 to 5-3 is about where OM should live each year if you break down the recruiting base and budgets of each program. BUT, one thing people do not notice is that Houston Nutt is a genuis at getting guys to max out their potential. I can't tell you the amount of guys he's put in the NFL that were drafted high but busted in the league. That suggests to me they played better for him than what they really were. I've also noticed he was 42-38 in conference in 10 years at Arkansas and there is no way a program with that weak of a recruiting base should be over .500 b/c only Vandy and Kentucky traditionally put fewer guys in the league.

I'd say 4-4 should be what is logically accepted within conference play this year. But, I think Nutt has this program filled with alot of emotion and confidence right now. I think they finished the year strong but the rest of the league was down. Expectations are overly inflated right now but I think the team will do ok with it.
