If we were guaranteed to be 3-1 after 4 games this season....

[CadaverDawg]

How would that change your final win total prediction?

[CadaverDawg]

How about 5-2 after 7 games? If we start 3-1, I think we will at worst be 5-2 after 7 games. That being the case, how do you think we finish the year with our last 5? I could see us losing all 5, or potentially winning 2.

ETA: I know, another prediction thread. Hurry up September 1st

3-1 is my prediction for the first four. Now tell me 4-1 and we will be ahead of my predictions. I'd be THRILLED with 4-1 especially if the one loss is OSU instead of either AU or LSU. 2-0 in the West with Auburn and LSU behind us sounds nice.

Hell yea it does. And getting waaaay ahead of myself, if we were 4-1, then we would likely start 6-1 because we have Bowling Green and Kentucky after LSU. Hey, we can dream right?

[Dawg61]

Yes we can and we can also learn from last year's 7-0 start that the last 5 are as tough as it gets.

Yep. We badly need to at worst split with OSU and Auburn. If we do that, anything could happen, but we would be in decent shape. Lose both of those, and we will struggle mightily to get to 6 wins.

I feel confident vs Auburn. We have a Sr. QB, SR RB and a very experienced OL. They have no QB and a new head coach. If we can't beat them under those circumstances than we suck and it'll be a very long year. I have us going 7-5 and one of those 7 is Auburn.

[Political Hack]

I'll take 6-6 if the 6th win is in the egg bowl and it keeps OM from going bowling.

So who all do you have us beating?

I have us going 5-7 and one of those 5 is the Egg Bowl. Hopefully we find a 6th somewhere....so I would be thrilled with a bowl game this year.

I would say if we are going to get 6...our most likely 6th win is either at Ark or at Aub to add to the 5 I think we win.

[Dawg61]

Wins: Alcorn, Auburn, Troy, BGSU, Kentucky, UPig, Ole Miss.

[Will James]

I have realistic hopes of 7-0 to begin. God how awesome would it be to be 7-0 if the Bears are 1-6.

[Dawg61]

Oklahoma State is a damn good football team. If Mullen beats Gundy it will be by far his best win ever. They have been an annual top 10 team going on 4-5 years now. They score a **** ton of points. I just don't see us having the offense to score with them. They scare the shit out of me. I view them the same as I view aTm. Too much offense for MSU to win.

[Coach 57]

The wins I see are exactly what Dawg61's are. But I think we beat Ok St. And even if we don't it will be a good motivational tool as UF we lose it won't very a blow out. And Dan will pump the kids up as "almost" beating a team with that kind of offensive firepower. But I am now in the 6 win camp. With wins over: Alcorn, AU, Troy, B.G, UK & Upig. But I am going to tell you that B.G is a trap as well as Upig. Especially the Upig game. It will be after two losses and sandwiched in before the egg bowl. If we beat Upig by more than 7 I feel REALLY darned good about the Egg Bowl too.

Wouldn't really change mine from 6-6. We need 2 of 3 from Aub, Ark and OM to get to 6-6 and 3-1 would likely mean we beat Aub and need to split Ark and OM. If we beat OSU and lose to Aub we are still in the same shape.

[Drugdog]

8-4. Going to b a good year. Egg is coming home.

[Coach34]

Wins:

Ok State
Alcorn
Troy

Bowling Green

LSU could be the big upset- we have a week off to get ready while they play Georgia- I just cant make myself predict it yet

[FlabLoser]

LSU

You have us beating Ok State but losing to Troy?
