why not? Both Auburn and Mizzou had losing records last year and made it this year with an influx of talent. AU got a couple breaks along the way, but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Reason number two, most coaches see the most improvement from year one to year two and Butch has shown the same results as previous coaches like Saban, Miles, Richt, even Muschamp went 11-2 his second year. The others all went 13-1.

Before someone screams OL, did you watch our OL this year? That is also why you bring in some JUCO lineman that are physically ready to contribute.

Year two, 11-3.

Some Vol Fans set themselves up for disappointment! I knew at the beginning of this year that the Vols would be sitting right where they are. I did think they had a shot at making it to a bowl game with 6 wins and tried to remain optimistic but really SEC Championship game.

You do realize that just 3 years ago Auburn was National Champions? Auburn has a talented football team and a Coach that knows how to execute them. Tennessee will have that also "When they get some Faster Players"

Speed Kills!!!

I would put Florida as a win and Ole Miss as a loss. Idk about going to South Carolina and winning but S.C never plays us well so it could happen. Missouri's a toss up I think, but I would probably lean on an L too.

I look for the "Ol' Ball Coach" to give it one more ride in 2014 then hit the Links. He has many HOF inductions to attend and a very lucrative TV deal ahead. He has to be approaching 70 years of age and surely would like to live outside of Football for a while. So USCjr will go back to it's spot in the EAST. Hell if not for HCSS being gassed up and pissed about Foley not re-hiring him at FL, SC would still be a door mat.

I think with Florida loosing some key players on defense and playing them in Knoxville we'll get them.

I do think Missouri, Ole Miss & USC are toss ups.

Not to be completely crazy... but here we go. We have UGA, UF, and Mizzou at home next year. UGA losing Murray, UF either still suffering from Muschamp syndrome or maybe a new coach, and Mizzou as a home field upset? Leaving Vandy and SC as winnable games away. Oh... And Kentucky. Lol The east might be weak next year. If Butch is going to be great, he certainly will have the opening to do it. If butch is the legend in the rough that we were looking for, he will shine next year, freshman, no depth, and all.

First, trying to figure out how you get UGA at home next year .. second, yes, UGA loses Murray but Mason is going to be REALLY REALLY good as well so don't just go throwing that one in the win column yet considering all the players coming back for Georgia. Add to that, our 2014 recruiting class isn't too shabby either.

:yes: we should be much better next year, the great coaches make a big jump in year two...and saying Mizzou had good recruits from a couple years ago with talent....

Ya'll do realize we were ranked 8 in 2010, 14 in 2011, 20 in 2012, MUCH higher than Mizzou. Yes, we've had attrition but every school does. Our penalty was Kiffin's class of thugs.

Schedule way too difficult for this to happen. Also, one great recruiting class will not provide instant success for this program. It will take 2-3 top10 classes in a row to build enough talent and depth needed to beat the elite SEC teams on a week in and week out basis

We were ranked 7 in 2009, 8 in 2010, 14 in 2011, 20 in 2012, 23 in 2013. Bad thing is there is normally at least three SEC teams in the top 10. Otherwise by the thought of talent, shouldn't we be top 20 and in a bowl game? We've signed talent and all of Kiffin's recruits has run their 4 year cycle. Saying Butch didn't have talent doesn't hold water. That OL will still be playing next year on Sunday.
