LSU fans have this ridiculous expectation that we will lose 1 game this year.
Reality is that we will go all the way.
I hate unrealistic expectations.

I think they win 7.

I agree, except maybe replace UK with AU. UK fans will take any modest improvement and be happy with it. I think Stoops will provide that. AU has to be better, but I think there is a growing contingent of AU fans thinking 8 wins is likely rather than the ceiling. :negibarner
Agree as well.
However, I will be part of that contigent if Nick Marshall shines in camp this month. I think the pieces are otherwise there and the schedule sets up for early season momentum and 8 wins is decent possibility IF we have a serviceable qb this year.
We will see I suppose.

2. Ole Miss - has there ever been more hype for a 6-6 team. Freeze is an elite coach, and I think he'll prove that over time. What he did last year was incredible, but the rebels aren't there yet. 6-6 or 7-5, again. It's another step in the right direction, but expectations will cause people to perceive it as a disappointment.
I hope you can see that the hype isn't coming from Ole Miss posters on this board.

I think AU fans will probably have the biggest meltdown when Muffin blows them out for the 2nd straight year.
Wrong. It won't be nearly as epic as the MSU fanbase meltdown when Ole Miss wins the BCS this year.

I want to believe, but am keeping expectations and excitement tempered for now.

One month until grind fest. I can feel the tension down in my plums.

3. Kentucky - Stoops was a homerun hire, he's proving it on the recruiting trail. unfortunately, none of those four stars can play this year. it's going to be bad, real bad.
4. Arkansas - The most proven hire of the offseason. Respectability isn't far away, it's just not happening in 13-14. The hogs have done a complete 180 in terms of offensive philosophy without the talent to match the new system. I think they're a safe bet for 7th in the West.

Meh ... I'll stick with my optimistic viewpoint. Thanks for caring, tho.

Arkansas fans literally have zero expectations for the upcoming season. Obviously we think we have expectations down the line. We're fans.

It will be an interesting season between AU and the magnolia state. AU needs to beat the MS teams at home to meet expectations, while the MS teams need to beat AU to feel like their respective programs are still moving in the right direction.

Any of them that I've talked to on or off the board seems more shocked than anything that so many publications are putting them at 10 wins.
They've also seemed pretty in reasonable in realizing that it could be a rough stretch at the beginning of the season with the way the schedule is set up.
