I could honestly see us winning 9-10 games in the regular season next year. I think it's a safe bet to expect a 4-0 record in OOC play. In addition to beating Vandy and UK, I think it's very safe to predict a home win over Auburn. That makes 7.
South Carolina is a home game and is, more likely than not, a win. We got blown out last year while playing under a dark cloud of distractions and with an offense that was never on track until the second half of the UK game. I think we can beat them at home next season. That would be 8.
Let's go ahead and mark road games at UF and Bama down as Ls. That leaves a home game with UGA and a road game at Ole Miss. I think 9-10 wins is a very reasonable prediction if we block and tackle better and find some consistency at QB. Kiffin will have a breakout game at some point - perhaps it will be UGA.
If we win at the Swamp, who knows what will happen next? I'm not setting my hopes that high just yet. We have a good ways to go.
