Chances of victory in each game, as I see it (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Montana: .9
Cincy: .8
@Florida: .4
Buffalo: 1.0
Georgia: .5
LSU: .5
@Alabama: .2
South Carolina: .4
MTSU: 1.0
@Arkansas: .4
Vanderbilt: 1.0
@Kentucky: .8

Total expected number of wins: 7.9

So 8-4, which seems like the most common projection, sounds about right.

I'll say 8-4 at best. You could maybe change that UGA into a L.

7-5 or 8-4.

I actually think we have a chance to beat FL next year. If they don't find some continuity on offense then they are going to have a long season again. The GA game will be tough but at least it's at home. I would say we have a better shot at beating LSU than we do SC. I think we finish 8-4 and I'll be pretty happy with that and looking for us to win the East in 2012.

Montana................W
Cincinnati...............W
@Florida.................W (Doolander established as the guy who can beat Florida, Fulmerites put to rest)
Buffalo...................W
Georgia..................L
LSU.......................W
@Alabama...............L (But, close game)
South Carolina.........W (Dominance over Spurrier begins)
Middle Tennessee.....W
@Arkansas..............L
Vanderbilt................W
@Kentucky...............L (Cobb's final game at home)

...I think at worst 7-5, at best 9-3.

I'm onboard the 8-4 bus, why not? I know Florida will have fixed some of their problems, but I think this one will be key on Dooley's 2011 Objectives. I also think we give Bama a run for their money, but after this year of 3 losses, they'll be hungry to get to the SEC Championship. Don't flame me on Kentucky--If Cobb comes back, this will be his final game at home and we'll already be bowl eligible, so this will be a more important game for them than for us.

8-4 or 9-3.

This was all off of the top of my head based on how the team looks now.. Given some players could excel and be better than they are now or could be worse (Bray, Hunter, etc.), and this is hoping that our senior leaders won't be too much of a drop-off for us.

I highlighted the sure wins, I think we can win 1 or 2 of the other games. 7-5 at worst, 8-4 at best IMO.

Damn, what the hell? Is he a 10th year senior? The dude sucks, but he has been around since 1984 it seems. He is bound to have a good year if he plays 15 of them.

From easiest game to toughest game, I think it goes:
1. Buffalo
2. MTSU
3. Montana
4. Vanderbilt
5. Cincinnati
6. @Kentucky
7. @Arkansas
8. @Florida
9. LSU
10. South Carolina
11. Georgia
12. @Alabama

I predict we go 4 wins, 4 losses, 4 wins:
Montana
Cincinnati
@Florida
Buffalo
Georgia
LSU
@Alabama
South Carolina
MTSU
@Arkansas
Vanderbilt
@Kentucky

If the season goes really well, LSU and South Carolina could turn into wins
If the season goes not so well, @Florida and @Arkansas could turn into losses

You think Georgia is a loss no matter what? Team was embarrassed, game is at home, sounds a whole lot like Ole Miss. Also, AJ Green will not be back more than likely and Kris Durham is gone. Teams do not forget games from the previous year, so I look for this team to come out firing on all cylinders against UGA and LSU and factor that both are in home, we win at least 1 of them.

No, UGA (or even @Bama) is not a definite loss next year. I just listed LSU and So Carolina because I think those are more likely to turn into wins if we're playing well that UGA or @Bama.

Same way on the other side - I don't think @Kentucky is a definite win, but if we lose a game that I called as a win, I think it's more likely to be @Florida or @Arkansas than @Kentucky.

UGA is not going to be as good as USCe or LSU is what I'm saying. That game is going to be a win.

7 wins are the floor, 9 wins are the upside ceiling.

Key variables:
1. improved running game
2. young receivers reasonably pick up slack for Jones/Moore/Stocker
3. continued improvement from Bray
4. DL situation significantly improves - particularly DT
5. young LBs ready to play
6. improved special teams (punt/KO returns)

Areas of concern:
1. quality depth
2. lack of experience on OL
3. lack of experience at WR
4. defensive front seven
5. Senior leadership

My crazy prediction for next year:
11-1, only loss @ 'Bama

There are 6 games we should win. Florida is ripe for the pickin'. UGA, LSU, and USCe are all at home, and we owe them some payback. Arkansas will lose Mallet and leave a big "?".

11-1 or 10-2 is my crazy prediction for next year.

We'll finish no worse than 7-5 or 8-4, IMO.

8-4. I think we beat Georgia next year at home. Plus an easier out of conference game other than Oregon. I don't think Arkansas will be that good. Tyler Wilson has "looked" good. But so did John Brantley in his limited action in the past. Plus their defense doesn't exactly make me tremble. I think it's a very winnable game.

I think LSU will take care of business when they come to Neyland next year, they're still going to be light years ahead of us talent-wise. And sorry, but I don't see the UF streak ending until 2012. Same thing with Bama. South Carolina will still be strong next year. They bring the vast majority of their best players back and could be even better than this year and will likely be favorites to win the east again. I'm not getting my hopes up for that one.

There might be an upset in there, but there might also be a stumble in there.

Anywhere from 7 to 9 wins is a reasonable prediction IMO.

I think that Arkansas is replacing 3 starters on OL. They has one of the most experienced OLs in the SEC this year. On one of the guard positions, it looks like they had seniors 2-deep, so I don't know who will be there. Otherwise, they're replacing the seniors with guys who are currently So and Jr.

I think that their OL didn't get enough credit this year... we'll see what they look like with less experience at OL.

Sec east is totally up for grabs again next year, I may like uga to win it due to an easier schedule but they never do well when they're picked to. Uf has a brutal schedule, especially if cam returns to auburn

2011 SEC Football Schedule Composite Grid

I think ut can be in the thick of it if we can beat uga and USC jr at home, plus I def think we can beat lsu with Jefferson still around
