What are your first thoughts and predicitions (W/L)

Depends on a lot of things. Coach status, how many and who goes pro early etc.

7 regular season wins max.

 

[Wylo]

7-5 appears to be the ceiling again.

Would take a huge upset to get to 8-4.


Sadly, a minor slip could result in 6-6 or 5-7.

That is assuming the same staff and most players returning.

Have we always had 2 off dates? Is the season longer next year?

If Dooley is still here....under achieving is guaranteed...3-3 by the end of the UGA game.

I'm being dead serious, does anyone see us getting past 7 wins? I do not, and that's a problem.

Nope

 

[mtowntim]

I think a merge is your future.

Brutal schedule... A lot depends on who stays, who leaves, recruits coming in, etc. Looks like an 8 win season max. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Reformed Reader]

If we keep our offense together, add a RB, and some depth on D I could see 3 losses being reasonable.

 

[Reformed Reader]

Georgia got a cake schedule again

This. I just can't be optimistic at this point. And I feel like there will be literally zero excitement in the fanbase next year

Do you think we have more talent than any of the 3 teams you are projecting us to lose to? I am guessing you think we are more talented than UF, OR, or GA since you say it would be underachieving to lose to those 3....

UT has been in a weird scheduling voodoo. Count the teams that are presently in the top ten and then after every other team is in the toilet.

Either we're playing Oregon, Florida, or Alabama or we're playing Western Kentucky Austin Peay or South Alabama.

It's been this way since Dooley got there. Dooley hasn't beaten a ranked team because the ranked teams he plays are always in the top ten or are about to be. Last week he blew his one chance.

I would love a game against a 24th ranked team. Just once.

 

[Volmania]

I hate to say it but 6-6 seems likely.

Five losses seems pretty certain.
Florida is going to be better next year.
Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama aren't going downhill.
Beating Oregon at Eugene? LOL

Auburn has had our number the past decade and Missouri won't be easy at home, hopefully we can split these. Otherwise it could be 5-7

 

[VolsRule]

alabama--4th saturday in october. what gives??

 

[99gator]

I'm being dead serious, does anyone see us getting past 7 wins? I do not, and that's a problem.

based on recent history, there are 3 games that are almost a certainty in the loss column

the others, tennessee could win. not necessarily should, but could

 

[vol1981]

alabama--4th saturday in october. what gives??

I think the game has been played several times on the 4th Saturday in October. I don't like it either.

 

[68Vol]

0 and 5 start is pretty realistic.

 

[99gator]

next year is year 4.

at some point, it's either the coach's job to acquire more talent than the other guy.....or......try to figure out a way to win anyway.

i've got a news for people that have this point of view as well.......it will be a very, very rare thing to be able to go out there and just out-talent florida, alabama and georgia

 

[zjcvols]

Tennessee will give up 60 to Oregon if Sal Sunseri is still the D Coordinator.

And that's being nice.

 

[vol1981]

Western Kentucky, Austin Peay, South Alabama...........WOW, just WOW!!

 

[im4davolsbaby]

Depends on coach.... Post this during spring practice.

 

[SuperDave]

12-0 Bray will break all peyton mannings records.. Sal will have the number one D in the country.. oh wait.. thats this year.. I guess 7-5 or 6-6 is good for next year.
