    Because it is now time for Football

    9 players made preseason All-SEC by Athlon Sports. 9. Means no excuses.

    As I said- this should be an 8-9 win team this Fall

    6-6 is the floor, 8-4 the ceiling and 7-5 most likely. If Mike was coming back I'd be more in the 9-win range.

    Mike not returning improves this team by 1 win

    Schedule really sets up nice. South carolina got hot late but started slow and I expect the same this year. A lot of big games at home could be a special year.

    9 should be the expectation

    Southeastern Louisiana (H) - W
    Arizona(H) - W
    LSU (H) - Toss
    South Carolina (away) - W
    Alabama (H) - L until we beat them
    Western Michigan (H) - W
    Arkansas (A) - Toss Id say a win but toss since its away
    Auburn (A) - W
    Kentucky (H) -W
    Texas A&M (A) - W until Jumbo leaves
    Southern Miss (H) - W
    Ole Piss (H) - W

    We will be playing Ole Miss with a 5-6 record.

    You realize we're asking Will and the OL and the WRs to do things they have never done? the OL was trained to pass block, WRs to run to space vs a zone, Will to throw to grass. Hell, we didn't have a TE on the roster 6 months ago. We have all new coaches working together for the first time.

    Defense should be good from the start. Special teams should be fine. Team culture I expect to be good. But the offense will have growing pains. LSU and USC are losses unless the offense is much better than it has any right to be in games 3 and 4. Hell, its entirely possible the offense is a train wreck vs Arizona. I still have that as W but crazier things have happened than such a new offense not working at all in game 2 vs a P5 team.

    I got us 7-5. Those last 5 SEC games are not wins, they are tossups that lean us. We will loose 2 of them.

    Southeastern Louisiana (H) - W
    Arizona(H) - W
    LSU (H) - L
    South Carolina (away) - Thinking this is a straight up win is silly. We have never played well there and they drummed Tennessee and beat Clemson last year at home. L
    Alabama (H) - L
    Western Michigan (H) - W
    Arkansas (A) - Agree on the toss. Tough place to play but Pittman is floundering. He's either gonna sink or swim this year. KJ being back won't be a picnic. 50/50
    Auburn (A) - They will without a doubt be better under Freeze and it will happen fast. L
    Kentucky (H) -Most pivotal game of the season. Have to win this one at home. W
    Texas A&M (A) - We have owned them as of late, and it won't last forever. They have players. L
    Southern Miss (H) - W
    Ole Piss (H) - Playing the rival at home to go to a bowl. 50/50

    Having your hardest two games at home (which are near automatic losses) isn't as great as it sounds. I rather play those two on the road and have Ark and the Barn at home.

    9 players and 10 spots - Tulu was 1st team KR and 4th team WR. I think only Bama, UGa, LSU and USC had more spots filled.

    Bo Bounds and Matrix Man dumped a bucket of cold water on our season this morning. They think 6-6 is the most likely outcome. Going 8-4 would be HUGE and prove Arnett is going to be a good one.

    8-4 is not the ceiling

    If we can run the ball we will win 8-10. If we cannot we will be 6-7. That simple. I would like to say there is no excuses but there is no program in the country that has been thru more than ours and we still have won. They will keep proving you wrong as long as we keep the most important parts of Leach?s program and it?s by far not the offense.

    8-4 is the benchmark. LSU at home in week 3 is the early barometer. We win that I can easily see 9-3. Lose it and I can see 6 or 7.
    "We will have no problem in handling Kentucky."-Turfdawg67. MSU suffered a 27-17 defeat in 2022 with 225 yards in total offense.

    Southeastern Louisiana (H) - W
    Arizona(H) - W
    LSU (H) - L - this is not in BR and so it is a toss. history says I'm right
    South Carolina (away) - I said in original post they got hot at the end after starting slow at worse this is a toss
    Alabama (H) - L
    Western Michigan (H) - W
    Arkansas (A) - Agree on the toss. Tough place to play but Pittman is floundering. He's either gonna sink or swim this year. KJ being back won't be a picnic. 50/50
    Auburn (A) - Agree they will be better but there team is going to put ALOT of emotion into the Ole Piss, Bama and UGA game. Freeze will put 150% into Auburn's rivals and not as much into MSU week. even if Auburn has the better record frequently under Freezus I think we will be no worse than 500 against them while he is there
    Kentucky (H) -Most pivotal game of the season. Have to win this one at home. W
    Texas A&M (A) - Yes we have owned them as of late so I can't understand why you insists this is a loss. At worse a toss L
    Southern Miss (H) - W
    Ole Piss (H) - Until there coach puts more emphasis on building a team not through the portal they will be gassed by the time they play us I feel very confident this will be a win

    You could talk me into a few of my original Ws being tosses, but splitting those should still have us expecting an above average and potentially great year
