Clearly, 11 wins is out of the question.

As far as the teams remaining, the only teams that should be able to slow down our offense are LSU, Mississippi State, and Alabama.

The only teams who we won't be able to shut down defensively are LSU, Alabama, and MAYBE Missouri

I think the loss to Florida has seriously jeopardized the possibility of us going undefeated.

I see sure losses to LSU and Bama. I think if Mississippi State is at home we have a good shot but I don't know on the road. Arkansas, Ole Miss and Auburn better be wins. Counting 2 more OOC wins plus Arkansas OM and Auburn gets us to 7. I think we take one of Mizzou and State (probably Mizzou since they're pretty banged up already) that would get us to 8. I thought we were going 6-6 before the season started so I'll be very happy with 8 wins.

I want to say so badly that we'll beat State, but I don't know. I just hope JFF is still healthy by the time we travel to starkvegas.

7-5 + Bowl win = Success
8-4 + Bowl win = Success
9-3 + Bowl win = OMFG SUCCESS

think we will lose LSU and Bama
think MSU and Auburn* are 50/50 so together another loss
think we could win the rest though several are close enough that combined they equal another loss

Put me down for 7-5

* Auburn scares me. Everyone has written them off but Frazier is the type of QB that has a monster game in him

If the offense continues to improve, I say we win 8 or 9 games. We have the D for the SEC, still not sure about secondary.

I think we have too much of a finese running game. Going to hurt us against LSU and Bama. Will have to throw for 350+ to have a chance to win those games.

Let him save that monster game for the IB.

Put me down for 8 wins, OP. Anything north of that and I'm all

I wonder what bowl we get with 8-4(4-4)? Auburn was 7-5 (4-4) last year and went to the Chick Fil A bowl

The Gator Bowl would be cool also. That could easily be vs. Nebraska which would have some interesting side stories.

Ive always thought 7 was the bar with 8 wins (regular season)a good year.

Thought with the loss to Flordia, we might be looking at 5-6 but that loss doesnt look so bad now and with Auburn and Arkansas looking worse than anticipated, 8 seems more and more likely.

i just it takes Arkansas another 2 weeks to find their stride. They still have the athletes to win some games if John L would just get out of their way. But they were going to get run by Bama with our without Petrino.

I think we need them to lose to Rutgers and give up completely, or eek our a win. If they win easy and find a little something, we could be in for a game.

I agree on the split with Auburn and State. Considering that I had Florida as a win and Arky as a loss at the beginning of the year, I'm thinking 7 wins still sounds right.

SEC refs in the state of Alabama scare me

I think we win out at home besides LSU.
I think we either go 0-2 or 1-1 vs Auburn and MSU and obviously beat Ole Piss and lose to Bammer.

So I guess that puts me at 7-5 or 8-4

And I'll trade almost all of them to beat LSU this year
