They are all in the 9-3 to the 11-1 range. And I think everyone here agrees with that.

There are some interesting things to discuss here and I definitely want you guys to do so. I have a few things I would like to point out myself. And I will add my own predictions as well.

Will Fitzgerald get over 60? Let's keep in mind that the preseason 1st team all sec qb threw for under 58% this previous season. The majority says no. I say over 55% but I do not know how much he has progressed nor how good his wrs are so I cannot give him that nod.

State's Leading Reciever:

Most said Austin Williams. But give me Guidry.

Top 10 Defense?
Mississippi State had the #10 defense in the country last season. You return basically everyone and add Chauncey Rivers. You are not hiring Sirmon, you are hiring a succesful former and smart Penn State and Vanderbilt DC. I say yes. 7 out of 12 say yes which is the majority.

Which Predicted Win is most likely a loss. Two People(Lowery and Faulk) said Kansas State and they both had State at 10-2 so that loss will drop them to 9-3. And Since Horka did the same thing in reverse on the next topic, I will add him to the mix as well. So you think that Mississippi State is going to go 6-2 in the SEC after losing to Kansas State when they only have 1 winning SEC record in the last 15 years? I hate to say the season is over if State loses to Kansas State, but Folks I would debate on this team being a 7-5 team at that point. With State's history at LSU I can see where Jones and Wyatt are coming from. But they both have them as wins like I do. I see Texas A&M which is about as bad of an answer as Kansas State is. ANd the group that says Ole Miss and Florida have the best answers in my mind. Those are in my top 3 of loseable games for State. But I am higher on those two teams and lower on teams like Auburn and A&M.

I have State at 11-1. The win I have that I think could be a loss is Florida. That game scares me more and more as the season comes to a beginning since effort Mullen is back with great assistants in Grantham and Knox. But it was close between that one and the Egg Bowl.

Which Predicted Loss is Most Likely a Win? The Number 1 thing that stood out to me is David Brandt has State at 9-3 and picked Florida in this category. Interesting Pick. I have a funny feeling as I stated above about this one as well. I am very confused as to why Hadad said A&M and why he predicted Mississippi State to lose to a team at home that State won 35-14 in Kyle Field Last year. As Much as he has been on the "State is better than LSU because 37-7 train" this really makes him look like a fool with A&M hiring a 5-6 2017 FSU HC. And the majority say Auburn here. I do not see Auburn winning in Starkville without a solid Rushing Attack and Solid OL Play. They have neither. Alabama was the pick from the 11-1 folks like myself. So I have nothing else to add to that.

It is always interesting to get some different perspectives. But Man I am curious the rationales of some of these folks sometimes.
