A couple of people were mad when I suggested pumping the brakes on predictions of 8, 9, or 10 wins. Lol

A good indicator to me has always been preseason All SEC player lists. If you see a lot of your players on the list, you're gonna be good. If you don't see many at all, it's probably going to be a long year. If most of the ones you have on the list are 3rd team or worse, probably not a good sign.
