I think the fan base as a whole has tempered their expectations for 2014. Based on talent alone, we should win at least 10 games, but there are enough question marks at key positions that a national title run isn't likely.

My answer to that question is that they are still the most talented team in the country. Question marks sure. But so does everyone else. I believe that just like the past 6 years they will be in contention for both the SEC title and National Championship into November or later.

But really, take a look at our schedule.
Unless Florida finds an entire offensive unit, I don't see us losing any of the first 4 games.
Ole Miss is a possible upset, but I remain unconvinced they can put it all together yet especially with the loss of Moncrief.
Arky is Arky.
A&M is a tricky one. I have not seen anything from them during Sumlin's career that says they could put together a top quality defense. After losing two of the most dynamic players in the country and a cornerstone LT, it isn't hard to say they will take a step back.
@UT and @LSU could be tricky. I feel like we will handle UT for now, but I can certainly see LSU giving us a lot of trouble.
MSU plays us tough, but the talent disparity is too much I think.
Auburn is going to be the toughest game of the year.
In summary, the only games I can really see us losing is @LSU and Auburn. Another 10 in season is absolutely a realistic possibility and to say otherwise is being overly negative.
