Found this one..
How Many Wins This Fall?
63% of fans voted 7+ wins...yet not a single analytics site was saying 7+ iirc, so yea that is pretty much my exact point..most
didn't peg this as a 6-6 team, most pegged it as a 7-5 or better team.
If Pruitt gets this team to 7 wins he deserves some very serious praise and recognition, to me while 7 wins was obviously possible it definitely shouldn’t have been the expectation...the same way 27 wins shouldn’t be the expectation for the hoops team.
Idk what the football sites are like I do hoops, but my guess is you would find projections of Tennessee going 8-4 very low, same for Tennessee basketball going 27-3.
