Beat me posting this by two minutes. Good job Jarius.

We are being overlooked. A lot of the YouTube sports guys have us in the "No one is talking about them, but should be." category. It's strange but the non SEC guys have a lot more respect for our program.

You're preaching to the choir with me. This is Leach's most talented and experienced team since Texas Tech 2008.

Our Defense is more experienced and better at almost every position. You could argue that CB is down, but we are still good there and have good depth for once.

Our skill position players on offense are more experienced and should be better. Our O-line should be good enough.

Our special teams can't be worse.

We won 7 and could have won 9 last year with better field goal kicking.

This is the best defense Leach has ever had.

We should win 10. I worry about weather as Leach's teams seem to do worse in rain, etc.

My over/under is 9.5. Excited.

I think if our schedule was a bit more friendly with say a Vandy and a Tennessee from the East instead of Georgia and Kentucky that 10 wins wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. It is just going to be hard beating 3 of @lsu, @uk, @bama, UGA and aTm while making sure we beat Auburn, Arkansas and @Ole Miss without messing up a non conference game @Arizona

I took a stand months ago we win 10 games or more. there is not A single team on the schedule we can't beat including BAMA. Most of our fans are straight out pusses. HAILSTATE!

This is fairly typical for all of our sports.

SEC people have trouble getting perceptions from 40 years ago out of their minds while fans outside of the Southeast look up to the SEC

Our schedule is absurd though. Completely ridiculous to look at the difference between our schedule & Ole Miss'

Why is that? When is this scheduling supposed to even out? We're getting hit hard this year. Brutal schedule.

Them getting to play Vandy every year is a load of horse shit. Thankfully the scheduling model changes when Texas and OU come to the conference in a couple of years.

We will be very dangerous/tough to play, I believe that.

The defense is a potential monster, I don’t think anybody has more talent at DL than we do.

OM gets Vandy every year & we've had UGA 5 of the past 12 years which is out of whack

I hope so, I'm in 6-6 floor, 8-4 ceiling camp and think we'll go 7-5, hope I'm wrong biggly.

11 wins is the ceiling because everyone besides bama is beatable on our schedule. (It will take multiple key injuries for bama to lose this year imo). Georgia lost a lot, will lose a couple early and not care by the time we play them.

I think we go 10-2 with losses to Bama and Arizona personally. (Arizona is nothing more than a Leach hunch. Man drops a game he shouldn't almost every year. PAC 12 After Dark gets screwy. It's a bad recipe. But the flip side of that is he steals one he shouldn't every year too.)

Still not sold with Dolla @Left Tackle and an immobile QB.

I know he has worked on his technique. Spare me the lecture. SEC def ends have a way of crushing your confidence. I hope it works out.

The rest of the team looks really promising. But an unproven LT means trouble.

Strange things can happen in the desert. Heck, there's witches flying around on brooms in both end zones. Just saying we better be ready.

UGA is loaded again and has an open date the week before us, they gonna roll. They will be in the SEC championship game again, in spite of Kirby and Stetson.

Arizona also recruited well last year. I’m not saying freshmen will make all the difference, but they brought in some talent.

UCLA in 2019 was coming off of a 3-9 season looking terrible. They went 0-3 to start the year.

Washington State was coming off of an 11-2 year with a 3-0 start and ranked. Looking great.

They met week 4 in the PAC 12 After Dark Showdown. Anthony Gordon threw 7 touchdowns in the first fourty minutes of the game for Wazzu. They were up 49-17. He threw two more touchdown passes for a total of 9. UCLA won the game in regulation. 67-63.

As we saw last year with Leach. He set and then re-set our school's largest come from behind margin to win. No lead was safe against Leach. The flip side of that is that no lead is safe WITH Leach. Arizona is down right terrible. But wacky things happen when the clock strikes midnight on the east coast and football is still being played out west.

Take absolutely 0 data from that game to extrapolate how our season will go. It is a true wild card of an event.

UGA has a culture that is championship or bust. Need I remind you that we only lost by 7 in 2020 with a rag tag group. UGA will get upset once and then lose another they shouldn't before our game. They will have two losses and not care. We'll win.

Georgia lost 15 players to the draft. If you are scared of them, you are basing your thoughts on emotion and not reality.

Our defense is much better than anything Leach had at Washington State. We aren’t losing to Arizona. They are awful.

I believe we CAN beat any team on our schedule except Bama. I will not change my mind on that until I see a Leach coached MSU team stop looking like a JV team when they play Bama. The 41-0 and 49-9 drubbings the first two years of the Leach tenure have been extremely painful. i guess if our strategy the first 2 seasons was to get Bama to overlook us this year then mission accomplished.

Arizona is bad, really bad. We have way more talent. We could play our C game and win by two touchdowns. We aren't playing them straight off the plane.

This goes both to you and Trapgame.

You're trying to argue this with logic and reason (which are both factually correct things that I wholeheartedly agree with.)

My point is that this game will abide by no laws of logic OR reason and will just exist in another dimension known as simply "PAC 12 After Dark". In the first four weeks of the season last year the underdogs went 16-2 against the spread and 10-8 straight up. It's actually a sneaky good gambling strategy to bet 1 unit on the spread underdog and .5 unit on the moneyline for the underdog in these games. That's because it's predictably unpredictable.

Don't apply logic or reason. No amount of scouting will save you from the PAC 12 After Dark Zone. https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comment...er_dark_story/

No one else has had a problem playing Arizona out there for the past 2 years. Going east to west doesn’t give you jet lag. The other way does. We should beat them very handily just like everyone else has for the past 2 years. Also, defense travels. Our defense is really really good.

I have said 10-2 for months but I am getting to the point where I will say 11-1. Kirby is just too stubborn and will play man just like he did 2 years ago. Except JT Daniels and Jermaine Burton will not be there to bail him out this time.

I think some people see Arizona and think it is the Khalil Tate/Willie Tuitama Zona days. This team is one of the worst P5 teams of the last 5 years. I think Jed Fisch will turn it around but they are going to have to give him a minimum of 3 years.

Yup. All comes down to LT imo. If we can shore that up and be average on ST, 10 is possible
