They'll pull off an upset somewhere but if I had to guess their record: Southern Miss W 1-0 (0-0) UAB W 2-0 (0-0) @ South Alabama W 3-0 (0-0) (terrible scheduling) @ LSU L 3-1 (0-1) Texas A&M W 4-1 (1-1) (most likely upset) Auburn L 4-2 (1-2) @ Kentucky W 5-2 (2-2) Arkansas W 6-2 (3-2) Tennessee-Martin W 7-2 (3-2) @ Alabama L 7-3 (3-3) Vanderbilt W 8-3 (4-3) (although Vandy may spring an upset - they're going to recede a bit from the Franklin era but not completely - they'll pop someone) @ Ole Miss L 8-4 (4-4) So you have a solid season but you still lose 4 SEC games and you lose to Ole Miss, and you may lose to Vanderbilt.

This is very similar to what I was thinking. They likely lose 3 of their 5 road games and lose 1 or 2 of their 4 SEC home games vs AU, TAMU, Vandy, and Arky.

Mullen is 2-21 vs ranked teams and it looks like at least LSU, AU, and Bama will be ranked when they play MSU and TAMU, Ole Miss, and Vandy could be.
