Again,
5-7 or 6-6 is status quo
7-5 is definite improvement from last season
8-4 is a really good 1st year for CJH
9-3 or better is COY territory
B.Green, TN Tech, S.Alabama, Vandy are locks as wins
Bama and UGA are clearly likely losses
Florida is a probable loss however, would be a pleasant surprise to win. They aren’t unbeatable.
That leaves the “tossup games” as South Carolina, Mizzou, Pitt, UK and Ole Miss to decide the season.
I think SC and UK are pretty much going to be likely wins. Mizzou has less “talent” but being a road game makes them a little tougher but I suspect UT wins that one too.
The season’s progress comes in the form of can you beat a decent Pitt team at home early and can you beat Kiffin and the Rebels later. I believe they can.
8-4 is my pick but 7-5 would still be progress
