Final Preseason Prediction Thread

Four wins?

Ok. Assuming we beat all our cupcakes, you think we will only manage one of Mizzou, Vandy, Kentucky which are all already much weaker than last season?

There's no Kool Aid needed to expect improvement.

I honestly think we have a better shot at beating USCe than Missouri. For some reason Missouri always seems to have our number, and Drew Lock is really good.

11-1 with our only loss to Charlotte

That would be like when Baylor was 10-1 in the regular season in 1980 and their only loss was to Lamar.

WV - W
ETSU - W
UTEP - W
Florida - W
Georgia - L
Auburn - L
Alabama - L
SC - L
Charlotte - W
Kentucky - W
Missouri - 51% L, 49% W
Vanderbilt-W

I see 7-5 as a minimum of what we NEED to do. We really need to show a game or two better than the general predictions for the year. Mainly to help keep the highest rated commits we have, and to maybe grab another one or two highly ranked players that have us in their final groups. I think Morris could be swayed to Auburn if we go below .500, and maybe we keep him, sign Wright, Crouch, and maybe one more to be named later; all 3 top 50 guys. A lot of kids are waiting to see if Pruitt is going to do better than the predictions before they jump in. Then it's be in THE class that helps us really turn it around next year. Just my 2 cents.

Nobody can tell me how to put a poll by now? That's disappointing

I agree with this post and think it is a conservative but real belief about this year. Go Vols!

WV-W
ETSU-W
UTEP-W
Florida-W
Georgia-L
Auburn-L
Alabama-L
South Carolina-L
Charlotte-W
Kentucky-W
Missouri-W
Vanderbilt-W

Final record 8-4.

Those of you predicting a Mizzou loss, the thought of losing to a Derek Dooley coached offense just makes me throw up in my mouth a little!

I don’t see us losing to Missouri if we beat both WV and UF...

 

[Volumnus 2011]

How's everybody feel now?

 

[Matt2496]

5-7

W-ETSU
W-UTEP
L-FLA
L-UGA
L-Auburn
L-Bama
L-SC
W-Char
W-UK
L-Missouri
W-Vandy

I would say that UK and Vandy are tossups, so we could be as bad as 3-9 if things go really south.

 

[UTK]

Was at 8-4. Now at 4-8

 

[volfannbama]

5-7.....

Maybe 4-8

But we will be champs of the off season regardless of our record...lol j/k
