We've beaten them 2 times in the last 18 years. Granted 2 were in the last 5, but it's another 60-40 loss percentage potential. Texas A&M only got better as the season progressed and should be better next year in year 2 of Jimbo ball. UT on the road will be tough after playing on the road at Auburn. I think we lose 2 of UT/KY/A&M/Arkansas. Add in Bama, LSU, Auburn. I think 5 wins is the floor and 7 is the ceiling. I hope I'm wrong like everyone else, but anyone predicting 8+ at this point is too optimistic.

Louisiana - WIN
Southern Miss - WIN
Kansas State - WIN
Kentucky - Toss-up
@Auburn - LOSS
@UT - Toss-up
LSU - LOSS
@TAM - LOSS
@ARK - WIN
ALA - LOSS
ABILENE - WIN
OM - WIN
I think UK at home is a win. They were very senior heavy and Allen and Snell are gone to the NFL. Their offense revolved around Snell so I think they take a step back.

I think UT is a toss up due to it being on the road. It is hard to win on the road in the SEC but UT wasn't very good although they had their moments.

That puts us at either 7-5 or 8-4. Anything above 8 wins is total gravy and unexpected in my eyes.
