Why aren't we going to win 8 games again next year?

[Todd4State]

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.

UK is a payback game for our guys. One week after Kentucky has to play Florida in a payback game. I'm afraid that Tennessee could potentially end up like the Kentucky game this year. Pruitt's goal is going to be to make a bowl and I'm sure he is hoping that we are one of their six. We could be their Super Bowl.


Auburn is so unpredictable you never know what they are going to be. Could be anything from 3-9 to 12-0.

A&M may beat us- but they have to play Clemson on the road, Alabama, Georgia, and then LSU in Baton Rouge. I think they lose all four of those.

Really the QB is the key for us.

OK. Auburn and Texas A&M are on the road. We didn't fair well on the road this year against teams with a pulse and both of those teams should be improved next year. I don't think we win either of them and definitely wouldn't count them as WINS. At best they are toss-ups with a 80/20 loss percentage potential. Bama is a loss. LSU at home is a toss-up at best. 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

Bet there were at least 8 wins on your this year's predictions w a couple of toss ups.

aTm's schedule is brutal. Dang. I will say I and many others here didn't think LSU was gonna navigate their tough schedule either though.

That's in part because at this time their QB situation was a major question mark. LSU is LSU though- they play really well at home and struggle on the road. Even Arkansas for them wasn't a very dominating performance from them last year. Barely beat Auburn. Played decently against A&M and should have won. And then they hammer Georgia in Baton Rouge. They are a very good team- but there is no doubt that they are markedly better in Baton Rouge.

Another reason I think we will win 8 games We return and ton of snaps on the OL. Here is what my starting OL would be
Lt Phillips
LG sharp
Center Williams
Rg Reese
Rt Eiland
Back ups. Parker Dolla Bill champion and story

Or

Pretty good, but don't count out Cross. He's more talented than all of them

I just see his name everywhere. Remember this kid had a very scary injury that could give him second thought on passing up shot at nfl this year. Hopefully me and all the draft sites are wrong

Thank you. Tried telling people in the Draft Picks thread that Williams is a projected top 2round pick everywhere and is rated the #2 Guard I believe. Either he really wants his degree or the sites are getting him confused with another OL. If these mocks are solid he will get a really high draft grade and likely be gone.

Yes I had us at 8 to 10. Expected 9 and was hoping for 10 with a bowl win. Very, very disappointed in 8 counting the bowl.
