dig on this... (re: FB '15 expectations)...

[TUSK]

I've seen a pile of threads/links re: "MSU is losing too much talent", "MSU will finish low in the SECW" etc/et al...

I've seen tremendous blow back here...

What do you think MSU's SECW record will be?

added appreciation for including SEC and overall records you anticipate...

thanks...

[BulldogBear]

Losses to Mizzou and Arkansas on road.

[PMDawg]

5-3, 9-3. Solid, not spectacular.

Wins are LSU, KY, MZ, Ole Miss and we will grab one of the other 4.

[cbrunt29]

9-3 record with losses to Auburn, Arkansas, and Mizzou

[Homedawg]

8-4

[Todd4State]

With the way things have been going for us recently- 3-9 with a loss to La Tech.

[NCDawg]

As long as we win enough games to get to Atlanta, I'll be satisfied. Mullen said it was his goal to get us there. It will be 17 years since we were there last, and some of us would like to go again before we get too old.

[Bucky Dog]

10-2. Losses at Arky and At Auburn.

[I seen it dawg]

State wins sec west

[cbrunt29]

State wins sec west
You are by far my favorite poster

[dawgs]

Arkansas is getting a bit too much fluff IMO. It's a lot easier to get from bad (below .500) to decent (6-8 Ws), than it is to get from decent to good (9+ Ws).

[LC Dawg]

12-0. We've got the talent to win every game on our schedule so I don't see why I need to pick us to lose any of them.

[Drugdog]

11-1. Losing to Arky on the road.

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

4-2 secW
6-2 sec
10-2 o/a

L @ aTm & ark

Hail State takes secW w/ tie-breaker over awwburn

[Coach34]

I think we win the West also

But my inside voice tells me we end up 10-2 again with losses to Auburn and UPig(and my inside voice is usually pretty good). UPig upsets us on a letdown game coming off our Bammer win

How the west was won starts and ends in Starkvegas.

[justwin]

7-1 in the SEC with only loss to KY in double OT. Closest win is Aub.

4-0 vs USM, Troy, Northwestern State, La Tech. Closest win is La Tech.

Staley & Fitz do what Jeremy Johnson did last year in relief but each with the same amount of PT he received last year, his soph year

[Jack Lambert]

1-11 over all and 1-7 in the SEC. Our only win will be Alabama.

[Dawg61]

We are not losing to Arkansas. Mullen still coaches like a puss vs Bama and we have one other surprise letdown vs aTm. 10-2 overall 6-2 SEC

[FlabLoser]

10-2

[Bothrops]

8-4

[SDDawg]

9 - 3, but potential upside to 11 - 1.

[mstatefan91]

15-0

Natty Champs all the way

[mcain31]

I'm thinking 10-2 or 11-1

[MabenMaroon]

12-1, Sweep the SEC West, ( not sure about where the loss would come, regular season or in SECCG ). Maybe 13-0, but CFB either way.

[msstate7]

Anything between 7-5 to 10-2 won't surprise me. I'll say 8-4

[Maroonthirteen]

Mullen remembers who puts the knots on his head. Bama has put quite a few on all of us. Dan has the talent and home field.... I think Dan and the boys have the game of their lives vs Bama this year.

Then the annual Nov let down west of the big muddy. But I agree there will be another let down game or two. Probably at ATM and Mizzou.

9-3, 6-2. I'll take that every year.

[EAVdog]

12-0. It finally happens.

[TUSK]

Anything between 7-5 to 10-2 won't surprise me. I'll say 8-4

I'm leaning towards this^...

[Dawgface]

8-4. Same as I predicted last year. Hopefully I'm wrong again on the low side.

[Political Hack]

9-3. Losses to Auburn, Arkansas, and 1 game we let slip away at home.

I think LSU wins the west, but lose to us in Starkvegas early.

You're one of the few that are picking the Tigahs. What will separate them? I think they finish strong once they go to Harris full time mid year

[CadaverDawg]

7-5 or 8-4 (I'm leaning 8-4) and our fan base melts down as if we're supposed to be a perennial 10 win team now.

Losses:
@ Auburn
Bama
@ Arkansas
@ Mizzou
(Maybe) LSU

If we get 8-4 and win a bowl, I'll be happy. 7-5 with a bowl win or 8-4 with a bowl loss, will be very meh to me

[Coach34]

I think our floor is 8-4 and thats if we have alot of injuries.

We've never had an offense like we will put on the field in 2015. Our passing game is going to be sick- and will create nightmares for defenses that have to account for Dakota in the run game. Their Safeties arent going to know whether to shit or go blind.

[Martianlander]

15-0

Natty Champs all the way
I with you. I'm not giving any of them away. Some team will have to take us and that will be tough.

[dickiedawg]

We will go 14-0, with no game closer than 16 points. On the eve of the championship game, the world ends.

[Alldawg]

I was going to say 6-6 is the floor. Even if Dak went down in week one, 6 wins would be a given. I think the west is so strong that 11-1 would be ceiling.

[dawgs]

I think we can win every game barring injuries. Therefore I think a 13-0 regular season is our ceiling IMO. Most likely we drop a game or 3, but I'm not predicting us to lose a game when I think we can win every individual game.

[Reason2succeed]

Dak Prescott and the offense gets us through the beginning of the season and Manny Diaz's defense comes along at the end of the season. 15-0 national champs. The world is stunned but fixated on Starkvegas.

[MSUDawg99]

8-4. Same as I predicted last year. Hopefully I'm wrong again on the low side.

Yes! This was me last year too!

I like your thinking. Can you imagine the publicity we would receive?

[Billy Ray Valentine]

15-0

[TUSK]

I won't get all wooly as to go 15 wins, but yall's slate has 5 automatic wins with UK and 3 OOC games at home plus the away game at The Rock...

@ AU and Bammer are gonna be the most difficult games...

the LSU game in 'Vegas will be an early barometer (per usual)...

"swing games" to have a kick ass season are: @A&M, @Mizzo, @Arkie & Mississippi...

low is 7-5; high is 10-2.... O/U at 9 regular season wins and a decent bowl invite.

[Dawg496]

We don't lose any home games. Split Auburn and Arkansas. If we beat Auburn we could drop the A&M as well.

10-2 or 11-1

[Coach34]

The SEC is wide open this year. Auburn gets the advantage because of their home schedule. Boom and the D have a lot on their shoulders this year. They will decide if they can win the West

[dawgpound]

We win the west and Dak wins the heisman

[MadDawg]

Dak Prescott and the offense gets us through the beginning of the season and Manny Diaz's defense comes along at the end of the season. 15-0 national champs. The world is stunned but fixated on Starkvegas.

Mullen is subsequently voted the 13th best coach in the SEC. ***

[LC Dawg]

low is 7-5; high is 10-2.... O/U at 9 regular season wins and a decent bowl invite.

Out of curiosity what are these numbers for your Bammers?

[TUSK]

Out of curiosity what are these numbers for your Bammers?

Bama has a pretty tough schedule this year...

"Locks" include 3 OOC games, but given an "Act of God" they could possibly lose to any other team on the schedule...

@ AU and @ UGA are the games I most sweat... Followed by LSU and MSU...

Barometer games are Wisconsin in Dallas (Bama will be heavily favored) and @ UGA (Bama should be a slight fav)

low is (theoretically) 3-9 although 8-4/9-3 would be very disappointing; high is 15-0....

O/U at 10 - 10.5 regular season wins and (at worst, a decent bowl invite)....

best case scenario is our 873rd NC.

[tcdog70]

I think we are better than last Year. Our offense will be among the top 3 in the SEC. Glad Collins and His bullshit are gone-Diaz will have us a Defense that will cause turnovers. Plus the 1Bs are History.

Damn, anywhere from 3 to 15 wins. These long off seasons really screw with you Bammers' heads. I agree that you guys have a tough schedule. I plan on giving you guys hell in 'Vegas this year.

[Coach34]

Bammer goes 9-3 with losses to State, Jawja, and Auburn. Lack of QB play costs them on the road

[TUSK]

I expect a tough game in Starkville... and I'll be there...

realistically, I see 9-3 as the "floor"...
