That computer needs to be re-programmed if it thinks the Gators are only #12 in the SEC.

8-4 for Ole Miss would be a little disappointing with that schedule and the upside of that QB. The problem for Kiffin is 9-3 probably has them missing the playoff again and 10-2 will be pretty hard to pull off.

Yep..... looks like 8-4 numbers to me.


LSU finished the regular season in 2022 and 2023 at 9-3. Last year they finished the regular season 8-4. They lost their opener against USC, then three in a row to TAM, Bama, and Florida. For some reason you got last season wrong. Regular season record.

9-3
9-3
8-4

LSU was 3-1 in the post season, but the loss was in the most important game, the SEC championship. The wins were against unranked 8-5 Purdue, unranked 7-5 Wisconsin and unranked 8-4 Baylor in mid- tier bowl games.

Alabama fans should understand this.

They hired an OC that was fired for not running the ball enough and will start a quarterback that couldn't beat out Milroe yet they claim the offense will be better.

Well words matter. You didn't say REGULAR season but good to know they finished last year w/same REGULAR season record as another first year HC.

I don't think these computers factor in transfer acquisitions very much, Tennessee's going to be good after Nico? What?

State will make a bowl game this season. Lebby is a very good offensive minded coach.

Nico didn’t really play that well last year. That won’t be the reason UT may have a worse record.

Sampson is/was a hell of a player but Tennessee has finished in the top 4 of the SEC rushing since Heupel has been there. Last year was the only year he was the main guy and finished 3rd which was a drop off from the previous year when they finished 1st.

Line rotated 12 guys last year but lost a 3rd of them including Pierce and Omari Thomas. It hurts but got depth and Coach Garner so not as big of a concern than you’d think.

7-5 is hit or miss for the Sooners. Honestly, if the Whorns give us another spanking this year, I think BV is done. It might explain the timing of Joe C’s retirement announcement. He doesn’t want to be the one to fire his last hire.

Maybe OU is better off being in the Big 12 than in the SEC for football.

Tennessee going 9-3 with a new QB who just stepped on campus will be a tall task. Not saying it can't be done.

How do you explain Mizzou being picked to go 7-5? The same logic you just explained the lack of practice with the current team.

Silly LSU fans. You of all people should know that pick 6s will lose you games; well, that’s assuming the refs don’t cheat and bail you out with a completely inaccurate call to help you win.

Our offense will be better, because we won’t give the other team points as often. We also will hopefully understand what a blitz means this year after 2 years of giving DCs the easiest defensive gameplan to stop us in all of P4 football. Blitz, but force Milroe to pass rather than run…rinse and repeat.

Maybe, maybe not.

My point was at this point, it's just hope and copium for both fanbases.
