re: Predicting each Program's number of SEC wins during the next decade

LSU won't slip that far

It's not that LSU will be bad... but with A&M joining the competitive club, there are only so many wins to be had.

LSU winning 46/80 SEC regular season games would look something like this:

2-8 against Alabama
4-6 against Auburn
5-5 against Texas A&M
5-5 against Florida
7-3 against rotating East opponent
7-3 against Miss State
8-2 against Arkansas
8-2 against Ole Miss
-----
46-34 total

I don't think it's that far fetched

EIGHT???

Is this really me saying "Look how good Georgia is" or is it me saying, "Look how bad the rest of the SEC East is?"

3-5 in the big game too huh. but Bama has a worse win percentage. really choking when it counts.

---

No, not really. I think Bama will be the best team in the SEC over the next decade... only with a slightly worse record due to the fact they play in the West while Georgia plays in the East.

Let's go over this:
1. Florida- So far this decade, Florida is 22-26 in SEC play against teams not named Vandy or Kentucky.... 22-28 if you count the blowout losses to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Now they've hired Dan Mullen... a guy who is known to be a poor recruiter and someone who could count the number of big wins on his resume on about 2 fingers.

2. Tennessee- Dumpster fire

3. Missouri- Do we really think Barry Odom is going to take Mizzou to that next level?

4. Vandy- same old Vandy

5. Kentucky- same old Kentucky

6. South Carolina- The only other program with a seemingly decent head coach. Still, Georgia has won 4 of the last 5 games against the Gamecocks, and that coincides with probably Georgia's most mediocre 5-year stretch of the past 20 years. I think winning 8 of 10 games against Carolina the next decade looks doable.

Cool. Random numbers based on random randomness.

Downvoted.

Calculate the mean and SD for each team related to SEC past wins

but what coach is going to pull of multiple "big wins" at Mississippi St.

Jackie Sherrill

In 1996, he knocked off #11 Alabama
In 1997, he knocked off #11 Auburn
In 1998, he knocked off #16 Arkansas on his way to winning the SEC West
In 1999, he knocked off #22 Ole Miss
In 2000, he knocked off #10 Florida and #18 Auburn

That's 6 wins against Final Top 25 teams in just five seasons, plus an SEC West Championship.... that's way more than what Mullen was able to do in Starkville.

a five year period that involved a complete collapse and rebuild. and the one win coming pre-collapse.

We are done collapsing and rebuilding now.

Florida will be back soon too, and possibly tennessee after a couple years (although I hope not). They are currently peak collapse. Only one way to go from there.

Winning 8 East Champions based off this last year alone is wild. Alabama didnt even win 8 of the last 10 and they are peak dynasty. As someone once mentioned on this board...You're high.

Sherrill had 6 bowl visits in 13 years, Mullen had 8 in 9.

Mullen had 5 bowl wins to Sherrill's 2.

Mullen never had less than 5 wins at MSST, Sherrill had 5 different seasons like that.

Sherrill went 3 - 21 in SEC play in his last three years.

Sherrill and Mullen both only had one ten win season.
Mullen had two nine win seasons to zero.
Mullen had a winning record, Sherrill was .500 exactly.

43 SEC wins in 13 years vs. 33 in 9, and MSST will definitely have a damn good season this year specifically for Mullen.

It's not even close as to who is the best coach in MSST history, and anyone who thinks it was Sherrill is kidding themselves.

UG has one good year and now you're anointing them as the next great college football dynasty

Surprised that you have Georgia losing 5 of their championship games against the west.

there's a better chance of us winning it all in this time frame than that happening
