9-3 to 10-2.
Better than 10-2 and Mac wins a ton of converts, worse than 8 wins and he enters 2018 on the hot seat.

9-3. Bowl win. Finish 10th in Final poll. No championships. Guice doing crazy highlight reel stuff.

Anywhere from 35-38 regular season wins. Probably a regular season title as well.
Posted on 4/30/17 at 2:43 pm to RollTide1987
10-2

Don't worry, you'll come to find out it is.

If our O-line gels and we find a couple of kids that figure out how to catch the ball, we could run the table
I know about the "any given Saturday" rule, but realistically we have 5 games on the schedule that look like toss-up. We have none where it looks like we will be outclassed
Toss ups are:
Notre Dame
Tennessee
Florida
Auburn
Georgia Tech
The rest we should be clear favorites
And Tech is one we should be clear favorites as well, but that will be a critical game for Kirby
10-2 seems realistic, but 11-1 or 12-0 are not entirely far fetched

10-2 or 11-1 heading into SECCG. No excuse not to win the division this year wth what we have returning and the schedule.

15-0 Ship!

Agreed, and the schedule sets up nicely for us
That Notre Dame is a wildcard though...
If we win, it gives us a great early season confidence boost that carries through the rest of the season

9-3, competing for the east. The Michigan game will be quite big, though.

It used to be exciting when it looked like all the pieces were there for a championship run. Now it's just expected. So yeah, like 90% of the fanbase I expect to win the SEC. Won't come easy though.

Whatever and 0

7 wins, and in 5 games we'll be runner-up.

11-1
Posted on 4/30/17 at 4:44 pm to RollTide1987
I have not been to practice, workouts or even the spring game.
My expectations are to watch most of the games on TV and try to go to a few of them in person. I expect to enjoy watching young guys do their best to compete with other teams. I expect that it will be a season that could have many highs and lows like most other seasons.

Lsu 9-3. Guaranteed loss to Bama. Prob lose to Auburn or Florida and then have a surprise loss. Can only do so much with Etling at Qb. Lsu defense will keep them on most games.
Posted on 4/30/17 at 4:50 pm to RollTide1987
2nd in the SEC
Posted on 4/30/17 at 4:52 pm to RollTide1987
I think 9-4, and 2nd or 3rd in the SEC again.
Posted on 4/30/17 at 4:55 pm to RollTide1987
We have the potential to win 10 games regular season, and I will be disappointed with anything less than that.
I don't realistically expect us to win more than 10, either.
Expected losses will come from two of these four opponents:
@Clemson
@LSU
UGa
Bama
We should be clear favorites over every other team on our schedule.
