7 but a very good 7
10 would be I’m expecting a 2019 type of season.
8 would be 2018 where I expect a solid season and a NY6 bowl

7 is I’m not expecting much. So if I get more, great. I will watch every game with enthusiasm. I just don’t think it’s realistic to expect a 15-0 season with dominating performances. This roster still has a few holes. I’m excited to see who steps up and fills those holes because then this team can easily go from an 8-4 season to a 10-2 season if the ball bounces our way here and there.

I think 7 is a good number. I’m going into the season with the expectation that if we don’t make a bowl game, it’s a failure. And anything above .500 would be good for me. It’s actually relieving to go into a season not expecting to win it all. Just understanding it’s a rebuilding year. I’m interesting in seeing a team that may not win every game, but doesn’t make boneheaded decisions to cost them the game. As long as we’re competitive, play disciplined football, and don’t shoot ourselves in the foot constantly then I’ll consider it a successful rebuild season. I just wanna see how the culture this season is different from the past two and how it changes throughout the year.

Should be one of the best teams money can buy. Yeah that's right, I'm a traditionalist, but still I'm a Tiger through and through. Just kinda sad that money drives everything.

We got the best coach we’ve had in decades. Vegas predicting us to only get 7 wins. Have a decent chance at hosting undefeated Tennessee, Ole Miss and Alabama teams. Start off the season in the dome against a P5 program. This season has the chance to be something special.

Bring it on! 10/10

8.

It would be a 10 if I truly believed that we would contend for the SEC.

That said, it's so refreshing to have a proficient and meticulous head coach. Due to Nick Saban, I hate having to it as a "process", but things will improve throughout the years. We'll have some bumps here and there, but I think the program is in good hands for the long haul.

I'll give it an eight. Kelly has made great strides to change the culture and assemble a good staff. At least we shouldn't see a team that implodes like the last couple of years.

5. But that’s not so much us as much as the state of college football and all the transfers, NIL shite just kinda dampening my interest overall.

I’m excited to see us actually be well coached.

NIL has destroyed Collegiate Football. And the NCAA is the NFL's bitch.

And are you more excited or less excited, compared to previous years
far less excited than prior years, so maybe a 4, where a couple years ago it would be a 10.

Between NIL buying players and the transfer portal with instant eligibility, I feel very little emotional connection to our team, or to college football in general.

It's really sad, because a great game has been ruined.

3-4. Has nothing to do with the past few seasons results, genuinely don’t care about that, just the sport/atmosphere in general is very different than years past. Nostalgic for times past.
