Yes it does. You can count one a year.

Youre counting Sam Houston twice first of all...

Unless we get drastically better we're not splitting those last 4

UK is a much improved team that is trending up, UF is a flaming bag of dog shite but you know les is going to turtle the offense since it is one the road.
Those are the toss up games.

Now the games we need a legitimate upset to win.

Arky: biggest offensive line in all of football, that is including the NFL. So if bert is only slightly smarter than miles he will run the ball 90 percent of the time.

Bama and ole miss Dr. bro carves us up every year and the last couple we had a semi competent defense compared to this year.

A&M: yes we own aggie, however it isn't going to be fun to play them this year unless we have some major changes

The Sam Houston game counts, even though LSU has played other lower level teams they've never had to use it for bowl eligibility
If LSU wins 6 which is looking like the max at this point do they even want to go to the worst bowl possible.

I wanted to turn it off, but I just couldn't look away. The team looked like a bunch of neighborhood kids playing a game of pick-up--literally like they'd never practiced or played together before Saturday night.

And people are acting as though this is 2008, 2009, or 2010 again. Those teams would beat this one by three TDs.

Under current regulations, in order for this to occur, a team must have a winning record, which may include one win against a Division I FCS scholarship-awarding[1] opponent, or win their conference, and the team must not be on probation. The NCAA allows one victory per season over a Division I FCS (formerly I-AA) team to count toward an FBS team's bowl eligibility, so long as the FCS team has supplied financial aid for football averaging out to at least 56.7 full scholarships (90% of the limit of 63 allowed to FCS schools) over "a rolling two-year period" that can include the current season.

Sam Houston State does qualify, as I understand it.

I doubt it...the only game we will be favored in will be Kentucky at home, and that's not even certain

That's at least six wins.

That leaves:

Alabama
Ole' Miss
Florida
Texas A&M

We MAY split those - win one being conservative.

That 7-8 total wins.



what are you smoking????

Kentucky is a toss up, and Arkansas is going to arse RAPE us with that running game, they are much improved from last year!

and splitting the last four...is a biiiig maybe....I think we beat florida and only because they dont have an offense....they are like us, but they have a defense...and with their young frosh QB you dont know, he could light us up or he could throw 4 pics...you just dont know... everyone else it will be like Auburn...book it....people have been wanting to beat us up for a while and this is their year to do it...They smell blood in the water...if I was miles id be a little uneasy and would have a huge sense of urgency to get better...

for the record....no we dont go bowling this year and it will cost us a few million dollars in revenue...
