It's early, but given what little we know now this looks pretty damn accurate.

2016 looks like Butch's year. VPI is their toughest OOC, and I don't think Fuente turns them around by the 2nd week of the season. All other OOCs should be comfortable wins. In conference play, facing three first year HCs (UGa, SCar, and Mizzou) and three on the hotseat (TAMU, UK and Vandy) - wouldn't be a stretch to say Viles go 6-0 against them, worse than 5-1 would be low probability event at this juncture.

It would take a real perfect storm for UTee to go worse than 9-3 (6-3), with an realistic upside of 11-1 (7-1). Unless UGa or UF find offenses, the Viles should return to the SECCG (probably giving Saban a chance to run the streak up to 11).

Yep, I agree. They'd have to lose a game to a team with significantly less talent than them to finish worse than 9-3, and honestly that includes losing to a Florida team that they have ZERO business losing to at home. But, we have said that quite a few times the last 10 years, so that is really the only reason we keep all saying it could be a loss.
