I don't know about these predictions...

That might be the first time ever that Vanderbilt has been included in a tough road schedule for a SEC team.

Cal was a lot better team than that, and I'd still argue that Cal would win that game 8 times out of 10, but that's why they play the games. I think Cal gets some revenge on Tennessee at home and sends the Vols to 0-1 to start the season. Tennessee gets a layup with S. Mississippi but then gets Florida in the swamp. Florida has to be the favorite here and the Gators are 15-4 in home conference games they're favored in while the Vols are 4-5 in road dog games in the SEC. This is where it gets bad. The loss to Florida sends UT to 1-2. They'll beat Arkansas State to improve to 2-2 before an off week, but then take on Georgia at home the following week. By that time, UGA is probably 5-0 with wins over Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma State. Georgia should be the favorite and if they are then UGA is 12-1 in road SEC games they're favored in while UT is 0-3 in SEC home games they are the dog in! That puts UT at 2-3. A win at Mississippi State puts them back at .500, but then they travel to Alabama where a loss puts them at 3-4. Coming back home to face a hot S. Carolina team puts them 3-5! They'll beat La-Lafayette to go 4-5, but then a tricky home game against Arkansas on November 10th awaits. At this point, UT will be 4-5 and 1-4 in conference while Arkansas will be 6-3 and 3-3 in conference. I don't know how the lines will be, but if UT is the dog and it would seem like they would be, then it's another Georgia situation. If UT loses to Georgia then they'll be 0-4 in SEC homes games they're a dog in. It think Tennessee beats Vandy & Kentucky to wind up 6-6 and bowl eligible, but in their first 7 games, UT plays: at Cal, at Florida, at Alabama and home against Georgia! That could be a brutal start.

right here is where i started to think that these predictions were made by an 8 year old kid from Birmingham, Alabama

This guy is predicting a Les Miles team to play in the MNC game???

Evidently, whatever he is smoking, makes you ignorant as hell!

Wow...I thought message board posters couldn't write, but then this guy came along and blew me away. How hard is it to type "underdog"? I got tired of seeing dog dog dog dog dog dog. Plus, there's no consistency to his statistics...he took 19 Gators games, compared it to 9 UT games where we were the "dog." Why not take Florida's "dog" home games and compare it to our "dog" away games. I don't get how we're 4-9. I remember beating LSU, GA (Twice), Florida, and Bama among others on the road. I don't get it.

There's no way we rack up losses to Cal, Florida, Arkansas, Bama, South Carolina, and Georgia all in one year. He used our 4-2 in close games as a negative...so yeah, it was almost 0-6, but it was almost 6-0...so what?

Anybody that predicts Georgia & Darth Visor Cockland 1 & 2 in the east has lost my interest in their credibility right off the bat.

South Carolina are Contenders.....I know its hard for you to swallow that.....but in time, you will get used to it. Did you forget Spurrier is coaching here and that he has recruited very well the last three years.......Just checkin.

I will give this guy credit for one thing. Reading about all of the big games has me pumped for football season!

I would pick USC to win the east if their schedule weren't so tough. I can see the east coming down unlike it ever has, with USC,UT,UGA, and UF fighting for it all they way to the end with some crazy tiebreaker.

USC seems to be the bandwagon suprise team of the SEC.

They have the chemical elements that draw folks in... coach, returners, QB, recruiting surge...


It doesn't always work though. Last year at this time I was condidered a loon for marking our game with Arky in the loss column. Nobody wanted to toss their cooler into that bandwagon...

I think a lot of people put that one in the loss column last year in preseason predictions.

ThreadLink-2006 Game by Game Predictions

I scanned thru the first 3 pages and found just 3 Arky picks.

There was also this response after my picks appeared, from theRickBol...

What is with all the people picking us to lose to Arkansas? That just the fad going right now? I mean people have us beating Florida, Georgia, and Alabama only to lose to Arkansas. Did you people watch Arkansas last season? They will have a true freshman starting at QB and a new offensive system to install. Throw that in with the fact that we will have FAR superior talent (and better coaching this year) and it seems confusing. I mean LSU, Florida, Georgia, Alabama...and heck maybe even USC (but their defense will be very pourous). But, not Arkansas. They will not win more than 6 games next year.

Around here at least, most did not see Arky coming. Before the season.

Based on the comments this guys blog post is getting, no one seems to think this guy has a clue. Including myself.

The first 3 pages are not all picks, I scanned the first 20 picks and found 6 picking Arkansas. So 30% of the people picked it as a loss, hardly the pick of a "loon" is all I am saying. Plus it is a Tennessee board so you have to factor in some homerism on some of those picks.
