AP Preseason Poll: Good Guys #24

Agree..
9-3 would be an acceptable season with the talent and schedule, 10-2 or better would be a great season
8-4 would be disappointing but understandable

7-5 or worse would be a disaster barring some kind of legit reason (multiple injuries, etc.)

I think they upset Georgia, but lose to Alabama

They split Florida and Oklahoma

Syracuse, Arkansas, Kentucky, Vandy, Mississippi St "COULD" upset them if UT comes out with a D type performance, but I just don't see that with this coaching staff, and Neyland for the home games.

The other 3 are layups
I arrived at 7-5 by supposing they will lose to AL, GA, OK, FL AND Syracuse. By all rights, they should beat 'Cuse, but I just have a bad feeling about this one. I hope I am wrong. I don't want them to lay eggs like they did against Arkansas, last year.
