We just have to beat UGA, Florida, or Alabama for people to take us seriously next year IMO.

I'm sticking with 9-3 and winning the East. I'll even throw caution to the wind and say we win our bowl game.

9-3 would be a successful season providing one of those loses isn't against UF.

Why not all of them? All have got it coming.

8-4. That's the realistic and non kool-aid drinking expectation.

 

[SmokinBob]

Kidnapping him and assuming his identity is also an option.

Fixed your post after all - he IS a Vol fan!

Proper form for 5'7 QBs in 1935...the Dust Bowl blocked a lot of sun in his formative years in Dallas...vitamin D deficiency and rickets was a bear. inch:

Looks like an older baseball pitcher winding up...

Sometimes you sound like Nationdom.

Losing to UF means we would probably go 8-4. The fallout from losing to a down UF team with no QB and a new HC is too painful to contemplate. We just have to tally that a W and make it happen.

Yeah and you sound like Dooley.

I'll feel a lot better about the 2016 recruiting class once we have a RB committed. Butch must feel comfortable that he had B.J Emmons in the fold

Too early to stress about 2016 recruiting.

OU I'd throw in there too.

Loss: UGA, Bama, OU, Arkansas

8-4

Starting to think we at least split your losses, 2-2, and have a possibility of a winnable game being lost... At worst.

9-3

 

[Nashvegas31]

I don't get all the confidence people have in Bama this year without a QB. Coker sucks....then again so did Crompton and somehow Kiffin made him serviceable. I feel like people are just picking them because it's Bama. My pick would be Auburn in West.

Same with UGA... No QB. So kinda hard to be so confident that they will be East champion. Lambert lost his job at Virginia and UGA is desperate enough to go get him.

Vols and Auburn in SEC title game.

Not only did Mizzou lose all 4 starters on the DL. They lost two other guys out of the two deep. They lost all three WRs off an already bad offense. Their returning recievers combined for 10 catches last year plus they lost their LT that started 40 games for them. They are not going to be good.

I don't think they will be good either...but I think their record will be respectable. Vandy won 9 two years in a row with a mediocre team because of an easy as hell schedule. Think the same happens with Mizzou in 2015. We just need to take care of business on our end and finally beat them.

8-4

I don't know why people keep saying we lose to UGA. Yes, I know they have beaten us the last 5 years, but the last 2 by a very small margin. And last year by only 3 and Peterman played almost the whole 3rd qtr and they got lucky with the fumble in the endzone. They have good RB's, and Chubb is very good. They don't have a QB yet, and their WR aren't that scary so they should be very 1 dimensional. Their DL and LB's will be good, but we have weapons all over the place. We will NOT lose to UGA this season.

I know I'm looking at this through my orange tinted glasses, but.......

I agree with the top of your quote, so I'll leave that as is.

The losses though.......the more I look at it, the more I see 3 more wins, with a possibility of 4 more.

I guess the point I'm making is, for the first time in several years, our schedule doesn't scare me.
