I hope so too, but not blaming anyone for pushing us just outside the top 25 either.

20th-32nd feels about right.

He has Auburn in there with Jackson Arnold as their QB lol.

Heupel is elite. He wins football games. We are easily a top 25 team, I think you gotta respect what he's done enough to at least project us in the top 25.

I agree with this, but given his intensely selfish attitude (about which we only recently became aware), I also think we were headed to a 7-5 type season that no one would see coming.

Now, we face a 7-5ish season with backups and the App State QB, and we are all well aware and can set expectations accordingly

This may be the best thing that happened to Heupel - he averted disaster

If we exceed 7-5 this year, it will be a great achievement on his part

No it won't. It's year 5. Injuries could easily derail us, but if we are reasonably healthy and go 7-5 that will be a tough look.

Look, we haven't beaten UGA with Heup yet and we haven't beaten UF or Bama on the road since 2003. Can't expect us to win those until we prove we can. The rest of the games are all very winnable. It's still a tall task for Arkansas or Oklahoma to come into Neyland and win. Oklahoma's QB is average at best. Arkansas is a revenge game and they barely beat us in a game that we gift wrapped to them. Georgia is the only team that's done it since 21. Ms State is a massive rebuild. Cuse lost everything. We don't lose to Kentucky or Candy.

Schedule is very favorable.

I think we are still much closer to competing for the playoff than we are 7-5. Heup wins bawl games.

I think we're exactly as close to competing for the playoff as we are to 7 wins. Both are very unlikely.

I don't know, a whole lot needs to go wrong for us to go 7-5

We just went 10-2 with Nico's terrible play, Sampson fumbling in the red zone, our whole WR core banged up, dropping passes, injured Lance Heard, and horrible offensive line penalties.

We will need all that to happen again and our defense get signficialy worse for us to go 7-5.

And none of Nico, Sampson, or most of our WR or OL are even returning this year lol.
