ESPN now predicts 7-5

Have a good chance in all games. The remaining teams offenses are not even close to USCjr but the defenses are better than USCjr. The toughest game is Mizzou and we need to play a great game overall to win that game. If we score 27 in that game I believe we win. Also helps 2 of last 3 are at home.

I didn't watch the KY game yesterday but the highlights made it look like they were running the same sort of offensive plays as we were. I'm wondering about the match up with Missouri defense.

Played the worst defense of the Nov schedule last nite. Prolly played the best offense on that same schedule last nite as well. Mizzou is better on D but not as good on O. Kentucky is limping toward the finish, got them off a needed bye week. Vandy is terrible.

No reason not to finish 3-0.

Justin is telling the girl in Fade's picture the he is the starting QB. She smiles and says bless his heart to herself.

They have us at over 50% likely to win each game. This has us at 7-5. Where are you seeing 6-6? When was it last updated?

See attached "projected W-L"

You sum the individual game probabilities to get an expected win total. That's how the math works

I see what you are referring to. 36.1% chance of winning out. Pretty close to our chances they gave us to beat S.C.

By the way this comment was completely unnecessary. You posted something without a link or anything. I asked a couple of questions. No need to be a jerk about it.

First off, congrats to the Team on the win. They worked hard and pulled it out; hats off.

I'm not ready to buy into 7-5 yet (maybe 6-6). Lots to work on from last night. They can't expect Dobbs to rush like that in every game — he really needs to work on flipping his roll to 70%/30% passing/running. Moving the starting line-up around on O-line is getting better results. Receivers need to focus on creating more separation and staying friendly to the QB. Dobbs needs to see the field better — some openings he didn't pick up on last night.

Also, lots of bad angles, missed tackles, bad reads, and poor speed in the backfield from Defense. Lots on tape to work on, although creating unbalanced match-ups are one of Spurrier's specialties.

All in all, bye week comes at a good time for Team 118.

My posts are full of pessimism? You must have missed my thread 3 days ago saying it was possible to get 8 wins.

Well, I didn't say they were 100% pessimistic. :)

Anyway, 'twas a joke about your new avi/picture. Did not mean any offense, and I apologize if it came off that way. :hi:

This is what I was saying as well. I want to play a good team when we get our bowl win

we havent been to a bowl game in a while. which means we havent really been a "good team". no offense to you, but i'm sure IF we get to a bowl game, it will be against a quality opponent.

I think this bye week is very fortuitous. We really, really need the Kentucky game. I hope the D gets corrected between now and then because Kentucky has been scoring points. Did not look great yesterday, obviously, but Mizzou's defense may be legit.

A lot of the bowl predictions are extremely speculative. For instance many of the predictors are not anticipating 4 SEC teams in the six major bowls which is absolutely allowable under the guidelines and is even being predicted by a couple of the publications Ole Miss may have played their way out of it but as of right now the SEC will get two teams in the championship 4. The orange fiesta and cotton and peach all have the right to take any SEC team they want after the championship 4 has been selected and If they follow the conference affiliation guidelines. If Tennessee goes seven and five there's a reasonable possibility that they could bump all the way up to the gator bowl. I'm not saying that's where they going I'm just saying that the outback or gator bowl is probably aaround a 50-50 proposition. Remember that means they will have beat Missouri and Itt will be a more attractive opponent
