My main argument is that this team isn't that much different than last years. Hunter should be back (hopefully all season), but I don't think he's worth 5 wins. No one has seen Patterson play in the SEC, so I am wary of his playmaking until I see him play.

Are you serious? So by your logic, We should beat NC State by default because no one's seen this year's team play against the SEC?

If you don't want to have a serious discussion just say so and I will leave you alone. Or you are the absolute worst at drawing conclusions.

So is your prediction 5-7? Considering this is the same team from last year and we'll automatically beat anyone not in the SEC?

Who do you see South Carolina beating in my predicted loss column?

How in the world do you have Florida going 4-2 when they play 8 SEC games?

I see them beating all of these teams. With possibly another W over us.

I see both sides of the mexican popcorn debate; however, I think this team can get to 9-10 wins with a little luck and the usual preseason fluffing of the usual suspects. There is no way one of the two, uga and usc, will be nearly as good as billed. It almost never happens outside of 90's UF.

i say 10-2 with a loss to bamer and either USC or UGA. nothing wrong with being slightly optimistic.. now you can bash the noob :p

Gentleman...Can we all agree that Vegas's odds are usually pretty accurate? Vegas has us picked to win 7.. I wil go one better and go 8-4. We lose to sc bama uga and uf/mizz/miss st.
Our defense is still going to be mediocre and hunter wont be the same as preinjury. CP wont have as big an impact as folks think. 8-4 would be a very respectable season considering the last several years.

Vegas has a history of underrating teams that make huge jumps from the previous season or they just don't have a good feel on.

Notable 2011 O/U by Vegas

1. USC - 7.5 - Had 10 Wins
2. Arkansas - 8.5 - Had 11 Wins
3. Georgia - 8.5 - Had 10 Wins
4. Michigan - 7 - Had 11 Wins
5. Michigan State - 7.5 - Had 11 Wins

Usually that 7-8 O/U by Vegas is an indication of teams with potential for more. Anything under 7 Vegas is usually spot on.

Long time reader first time poster. Anyway, the winner of the UT UF game will win the east. Both UT and UF will finish at 6-2 and UT will have the head to head. 1.UT we will have the most impressive O in the SEC and we finally have the talent in the O&D lines to compete n the SEC (we absolutely must keep lathers bray and most of our other lbs healthy) 2. UF will have the most dominating D in the SEC this year with a much more balanced O (Dubose is an elite wr). 3. UGA never lives up to the hype (they seem to flourish as the underdog and choke as the favorite). 4. USCjr is way overrated (Ingram will b a bigger loss than most think & Lattimore won't b 100%). 5. Mizzu is an interesting team that will probably have some surprise wins at the end of this season (they have a great coach and the most dynamic qb n the sec----glad we play them late and at home). 6 & 7. KY and Vandy will b KY and Vandy and round out the bottom (We will beat both in a route).

So you're saying that a year of experience and practice for 17 out of 22 starters returning and most of their subs returning from a roster of Freshmen and Sophomores does not make a difference at all? We will be a much better team.

It would be hard for me to not pick uga as the sec east champ.. They have a lot of good pieces coming back.. Their defense is stacked, and murray is a very good qb.

In regaurds to Florida, NCSU and Missouri I disagree. We play two at home and NCSU neutral site. Florida travels to A&M the week before we host them and Mizzu travels to the swamp the week before they come here. I realize we play at Usc before Mizzu. But we come back home as opposed to back-to-back SEC road games in very tough enviroments. I hate making my entire point on previous opponents but it does make a difference. Florida does have a tough D and I believe people underestimate Mizzu. I say we take 2 out of 3 if not all 3. Beat NCSU and Florida. Mizzu im not sure about being its deep into the season.

Simply put, Tennessee is not a good enough football team to go 10-2 or 11-1. I wish they were. I have posted my beliefs in the past, but 10+ wins is unrealistic. I honestly believe the 8 regular season wins is the ceiling for this team.

I don't think its the ceiling, but it is highly probable.

They are also sitting at fewer than 70 scholarship players. Sound familiar?

So no improvement in our o-line and d-line over last year??
