Maybe so, but the question is today, not "before last year started." Not sure if it was Bass or someone else, but if you're guessing/projecting W-L record & look at schedule game-by-game... 7 wins is about the minimum if you count KY, MO, SC & Vandy as wins, so you win only one of Pitt, FL, LSU, Bama, or GA. As always, it depends how it plays out (close games or blow-outs, key injuries or crap refs, etc), but if UT only wins 7 I'm kinda disappointed & 8, I'll be well, okay, can't wait for next year.... But if get to 9 or better, I'm very, very happy!
