I'm probably still able to register on a breathalizer after the short nap separating "last night" and "this morning"..
Beat WVU in a shocker.

Hand Mullen the first butt-sweating loss of his Florida tenure. 4-0
Lose by a significant margin between the hedges after an emotional run. It happens. ESPN will talk about us crashing back down to earth and how we still have a long ways to go.
BYE
Upset Auburn because they're the most unpredictable team in the nation. Expect them to be good, they underperform; expect them to be meh, the upset Bama and hit 10 wins. They're projected 2nd in the West, so that means an 8-4 season with Tennessee being the head-scratcher. They just gave Mahlzan an extension. 5-1 (2-1)
Bama at home could actually be a game, but don't expect this to be the one where the student finally bests the master.
I don't have a lot of faith in Carolina being a great team next year or in the future, but they'll always have the defense under Muschamp to be a tough out. Unfortunately because they're the end of our gauntlet, plus the very real Bama hangover, plus they'll be coming off a bye, this might be one of those flat games for us. Enough to piss Pruitt and the rest of the staff of and have a fire lit under our asses for the rest of the year. 5-3 (2-3)
And run the table for the rest of the year. Charlotte: cupcake.
LOL at any idiot thinking just because we went 4-8 last year that we have a legit shot at losing at home to Kentucky. Not gonna happen. We start another 28-year streak against them with Pruitt and Fulmer running the thing now. It's not basketball.
Mizzou thinks they got a good OC, but they don't know that Dooley has a losing SEC record at Neyland (that hurts to type). They'll find out Lock can't throw for a whole lotta yards if he's planted into the turf every other dropback.
Vandy. See: Kentucky. 9-3 (5-3)
Finish 3rd in the East behind UGA and Carolina (via tie-breaker), ahead of Florida (4-4) Mizzou (3-5), Kentucky (2-6), and Vandy (who cares)... Ranked ~20th.. Outback Bowl v. an actually dangerous B1G team-- Michigan State, Penn State, or Michigan, not an automatic win. If we lose the bowl, it's still a successful season, as Pruitt's first year would equal Butch's best years.
Recruiting takes off as we hang onto all our current guys, add Wright, Crouch, McCollough, Hill, To'oto'o, Bogle, Hill, Washington, Wilhoite, and who knows who else. That right there would put us at three 5*s, thirteen 4*s, and however many 3*s we currently have.
