2024 football prediction

[Walkerhill]

5-7

I have no idea on record. I would bet money we have a top 30 offense with a ceiling in the 10-15 range. No idea how to gauge our defense.

I could see us winning some shootouts if the offense is really good and getting to 7-8 wins, losing some shootouts and struggling to get bow eligible if the offense is good but not great.

If the defense outperforms the low expectations (maybe the staff is better than we think, we land some defensive transfers, or both) then maybe we nab some upsets. It would be sweet to play spoiler on OM CFP hopes, for example.

My wild guess prediction today is 6 wins capped with a bowl win. SEC wins are Florida and Arkansas.

If you think we are going to finish in the top 15 in offense you are about to be crushed.

In the last 7 years Lebby offenses have ranked 5, 4, 2, 3, 6, 33, 4 in total offense.

I expect 15-20 probably just based on the state of our offensive personnel when he took over and the amount of new and/or unproven players. If we wind up top 15 in total offense, Lebby did a heck of a coaching job.

That being said, a lot of those previous teams had similar challenges - 2018 UCF had a freshman starter qb, 2020 Ole Miss was coming off prolonged ncaa probation from the Freeze era, 2022 Oklahoma had severe player attrition the preceding off season.

If anything, I am being a little cautious and pessimistic vs. past performance.
