Time to go on record... Pre-Season Predictions

**vol_freak** · 07-29-2007, 11:39 PM

Give us your final season record including a bowl game assuming you think we make it to one. Feel free to break it down game by game if you prefer.

Be sure include if you think we win the East, the SECC, go to a BCS bowl, or win it all.

This will be the thread that you can refer back to and say "I told you so". Or it may be the thread that we use to rub in your face and tell you how wrong you were.

This will be the official record so take your time and really think before you post.

Shouldn't you actually go on record first . . . since it's your thread and all?

govols182 · 07-29-2007, 11:42 PM

13-1 or 12-2 SEC Champs!

GoVols817 · 07-29-2007, 11:45 PM

I don't like to make predictions. That way I can talk out of both sides of my mouth later.

Seriously, I'll probably sit down and do mine this week.

I predict 13-1 with a loss to USC in the national championship

**GAVol** · 07-29-2007, 11:55 PM

11-3 with a loss in the SECCG

**hvwarrior58** · 07-30-2007, 04:26 AM

13-1(SEC Champs, BCS bowl winners)

**dan4vols** · 07-30-2007, 08:03 AM

I feel the Vols wil win against Cal in a game much closer than last season....28-24
I think SM with be tough in the 1st half then lose 34-20
I think the Vols steal one in the swamp, leading early but giving up huge yards late...Vols hold on 31-27
The only close contest the rest of the season is Bama....Vols 19 Bama 17

Vols go on to beat LSU in the SEC title game 44-33 then face USC and Josh Booty....Vols win 19-16 on a 53 yard fg...CPF retires.....that is all g'nite John Ward wherever you are!

13-1...Vols lose a heartbreaker to USC 41-38 when Colquitt just barely misses a 53-yarder to send it to overtime. This is after going undefeated in the regular season including a 31-7 beat down of Auburn in the SEC championship game...payback's a b**** ain't it

**VolinArizona** · 07-30-2007, 09:28 AM

10-2 regular season
loss to LSU in SECCG
Outback Bowl

I will say, almost all SECCG are toss-ups, so that could go either way.

How many of these threads are we going to have? If we can get up to 13 or 14 I think I can cover all the bases and then claim omnipotence in January. For the official record such as it is I say 7-6 with regular season losses to Cal, UF, UGA, SC and KY coupled with an embarassing loss in the Music City or Liberty Bowl.

I'll take the over on a win/loss over/under since that's your official prediction.... I say 9-3.... officially.

All due repsect Hillbilly...that's incredibly pessimistic. All of those teams you have mentioned are pretty evenly matched with us. There's not a team on that list...or our entire scheduele for that matter that I or anyone I know would say is head-and-shoulders better than us. So you basically think we will lose any game were the talent and experience levels are pretty much even?

Bama will have a more talented defense than UTK but I expect the Vols to win that one. Vandy will be more experienced but I expect UTK to win that one as well. I don't think the talent level is even with Cal, particularly on offense, and I also think UF is more talented, albeit less experienced in some areas. I consider the opposing coaches to give UGA and SC the edge. KY is more of a gut feeling, but they played lights out last year at Neyland and they return a lot.
