I like flying under the radar, but maybe not this far under.

[Tin Man]

Moises Alou had a better lifetime batting average.

Hopefully this will be a chip on the shoulder of the offense this year which is the main reason while we’re so low.

They are unproven but talented and need to prove they’ve got what it takes so I’m hoping they play like they’ve been disrespected.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I love it. Can not wait for the season to get started. Look for a 9-3/10-2 record.

UGA sweeping the specialists is insane. I’ve never seen that.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Ehh. We were Preseason #7 last year. Have to go 2-2 vs UGA, Bama, OU and UF. We’ll be fine.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

If anything that’s probably too gracious

 

[hUTch2002]

If anything that’s probably too gracious

Not with our schedule.

Do people really think losing Nico is that big of a deal? I for one do not see it at all. How quickly do people forget that the defense carried this team last year? Dylan Sampson was literally all we had on offense and I think we have two fully capable running backs this year. I honestly think both sides of the ball will be better this year and our schedule is favorable. Hell, if our QB can complete a pass 15+ yards downfield we will be light years better on offense

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Not with our schedule.

Schedule isn’t too hard, but we are worse than last year, and the home-road splits are less in our favor. 6-2 in the SEC last year could easily be 4-4 this year.

It’s not Nico. It’s Sampson, our 3 best receivers, 4 O Linemen, our 3 best D Linemen and some depth pieces, our best linebacker, our best safety. Oh and two of our best returning starters have been hurt all offseason, one with a torn ACL.

Right and 4-4 easily puts us 9th.

 

[OffTackleVol]

Agree...........

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Right and 4-4 easily puts us 9th.

The only 4-4 team last year was Florida, they finished 10th. 4-4 will put us anywhere in that 8 to 12 range depending on what some other teams do.

 

[hUTch2002]

Highly unusual for only 1 team to be 4-4. This year 8-12 could all be 4-4. The point is, preseason 9th is right if you’re figuring on a 4-4 team.

I think it is fair

 

[PACKERVOL]

I sure hope we “over-achieve this year based on what we’re projected to be. It’s always sweeter when we end up ahead of a lot of the teams projected in front of us now. Plus, we have a history of doing well when we’re not respected at the beginning of the year.

 

[vol94fan]

We have some D linemen that should be on there somewhere.

Schedule isn’t too hard, but we are worse than last year, and the home-road splits are less in our favor. 6-2 in the SEC last year could easily be 4-4 this year.

Last year's road games were Georgia, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Vandy. This year's road games are Bama, Florida, Kentucky and Miss. St. There's not much difference from an overall standpoint. Unless you expect us to lose to either Kentucky or Miss. St., then Georgia and one of Oklahoma, Arkansas or Vandy would have to beat us in Neyland for us to finish 4-4.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

UGA sweeping the specialists is insane. I’ve never seen that.

Me either. Hard to argue the punter or the field goal kicker though.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Under Heupel, yeah. Not really much before that unless you go back to some Fulmer teams. Fulmer likewise had some highly rated teams belly flop.

 

[deatojl]

If every SEC team only loses to those placed ahead of them and beats the teams placed below them, this is what the final standings would look like:
Texas 8-0
Georgia 7-1
Alabama 7-1
LSU 7-1
South Carolina 6-2
Florida- 5-3
Ole Miss- 4-4
Texas A&M- 4-4
Tennessee- 5-3
Oklahoma- 2-6
Auburn- 4-4
Missouri- 3-5
Vandy- 2-6
Arkansas- 1-7
Kentucky- 0-8
Miss. St.- 0-8
