USC problem this year is schedule - voted strongest in SEC this year. Talent-wise pretty close but they are better at QB and Defensive line by a good bit; Vols are better only at WR..PLUS, they believe they can out-tough Vols and find a way to win...

I dont think they are better than us at one single position and I think JG is quite a bit better than Bentley. It will show this year since we have a strong O line now.

That might be where expectations should be, but I want better and expect better. There is no doubt that Coach Pruitt wants and expects better. After last year, who knows? But I do think our players will be better prepared to win more games. I think we can all agree to one thing, we do not want to see all those beat downs. We want to see a more consistently competitive football team, and that I think we will see. Blah, blah, blah. It's that time of year.

Seems likely that we win one we don't expect and lose one we don't expect.
7 - 5 seems reasonable overall.
There are too many unknown variables to pick every game.
Like one time we probably lost a game because Dobbs stayed up too late doing homework

At the time, I thought that's what happened. Dobbs was fuzzed from cramming for his classes. He later admitted as much. Like you say, there are many variables.

Muschamp is a Chump. He has little to no class. The fact that we have never beaten him tells you how bad we were. It will change this year.

I agree with the OP predictions, although I think we beat one of USC, UF, and Missouri.

Well, we are 27-23 in our last four years. So, we are not world beaters either. And, some of those losses are to Mizzou!

That's a mute point as the debate was that Missouri is so much better than we are and that is simply not the case. They are a middle of the road team regardless of what we are. I think they fold this year and take a big step back. They will struggle throwing the football.

I believe the record might be right. However, a win to purge the Muschamp demons would be a welcome relief, and we MUST hammer Vandy. I grew up never concerned about Vandy and we have given them some relevance, in their own minds. That has to be reversed and they must be crushed. We have to restore the order. Btw, did I mention I despise Vandy in everything?

Bama going down.

I want to dominate Vandy, SC, and Missouri before worrying about Bama. I am embarrassed by how we have been dominated by MISSOURI and Vandy. We have to restore the order, TN-Ga-Fla fighting for the East title, while Bama battles LSU and Auburn. Those 6 should be dominant. Missouri and Vandy beating Tn, must less blowing them out, should only be a dream the respective fans have, not reality. Embarrassing, thank you Dooley and Jones.

The sad part is that some of you seem to be satisfied with only seven wins!

No, the sad part is you having "Vols" in your username. If we say 8-9 you say we're delusional or dumb or whatever, and if we say 6-7 we're settling for mediocrity, right?

Gators Suck.

Agree... On all counts! Well, except the delusional part. Then I would say a 10 win regular season aint what it used to be!

Is this your first year following football? We lost 5 games in 2018 by 24 or more points. 7-5 would demonstrate pretty massive improvement in just one year.

We barely have an SEC level starter at all positions, and almost zero quality depth behind them. We need to stay HEALTHY to go 7-5.

Pruitt's the man for the job I have no doubt, but b*tching about "only" winning 7 games this year would show that you are 12 or have never watched football before.

7-5 would be serious over achieving. But I'll take the bowl game.

We will be favored in 7 games this year... The Vegas over under is 6.5.

It is definitionally absurd to call 7 wins "serious over achieving."

But whatever keeps your wittle expectations down I guess.
