Via Tiger Droppings, on my iPod so no link but it sounds like Scout is running with this so we'll see. Most interesting thing: no return date w/ Arky.
If Dooley is any kind of coach, no excuses for anything less than a 9 win season.
So, basic breakdown here.
5 wins in the bag - (Georgia State, Akron, Troy, Vanderbilt, Kentucky)
1 good chance of win - (Mississippi State)
4 toss-ups - (Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri, NC State)
1 decent chance of loss - (Florida)
1 sure fire loss - (Alabama)
