It’s tourney style so we play FSU and then Purdue/VCU...agree that 9-4 is probably a success. Match that with 9-9 or 10-8 in SEC and we should be dancing.That is a pretty brutal OOC schedule. 9-4 has to be considered a success. 6 games that should be wins. Then 7 games against really good competition. Kansas and Memphis are probably top 5, top 10 teams. Washington is maybe on the cusp of that. Cincy on the road will be a tough environment even with a new coach. Wisconsin at home is a game we should win, but no guarantee. And then whatever comes out of the Emerald Coast Classic. Not sure if that is a tournament setting or just two individual games. If just individual games, then we only play 12 OOC opponents, and I'd knock the success threshold down to 8-4.
10-3 seems like an awfully lofty expectation for a team replacing their top 4 players. IMO, that would be a remarkable record to walk away with, and further proof that this team either had more talent than originally thought, or was coached towards a few wins they otherwise shouldn't have found.9-4, possibly 10-3

How I see it:
November 5: UNC-Asheville - W
November 12: Murray State - W
November 16: N Washington - L
November 20: Alabama State - W
November 25: Chattanooga - W
November 29: N Florida State - W
November 30: N Purdue/VCU - Purdue L, VCU W
December 4: Florida A&M - W
December 14: Memphis - L
December 18: @ Cincinnati - L
December 21: Jacksonville State - W
December 28: Wisconsin - W
January 25: @ Kansas - L
I can definitely be swayed on the Cincy game or the Purdue game, but the rest I'm pretty solid on. Anywhere between an 8-5 mark or a 10-3 record is what I see. More likely 8-5 or 9-4.
Interesting. I wonder if they picked up a recent commitment. Most of the polls I see are from June or earlier. Well I hope they are ranked incredibly high and then we whip their butts.Gary Parrish at CBS has them 7th. Borzello at ESPN has them 13th but conceded they have top 5-10 talent. They are a little lower because of experience.
