I had them at 9-9 until Vandy won at Arkansas. Now a better shot at 10-8.

I wonder what record last season's team would have with this year's schedule. The bottom of the SEC is absolutely dismal this season.

I mean playing the bottom 3 teams in the league the last 3 games gives you plenty of confidence in 10-8.

I say 10-8 is very good improvement over the course of the year, and definitely from last year. We're a couple of close losses from being the 5th seed in the SEC tournament, a game out of a top 4 seed and byes. Nobody expected that. I'm very impressed with how this team fights and hustles. They are a lot better on defense than last year.

None of them will be easy, but UGA was their biggest test. I’d say 10-8

10-8 would be great, but it's still tough to win on the road...regardless of opponent. Arkansas is where they are because they have been terribly inconsistent. That same team that lost to Vandy won at A&M a few games ago. Most reasonable scenario is LSU splits the two road games and beats Missouri to finish the season. 9-9 in conference play isn't necessarily "good". But it is much, MUCH better than last year.

After the Win at South Carolina, I was hoping they could win out though I expected they would not. Here is how, in my mind, the level of difficulty would stack up from hardest to easiest.

Kentucky (W)
Mississippi St.(L)
@Arkansas
Georgia (W)
@Vanderbilt
Missouri

We have a shot at 10-8 for sure. Winning @ Vandy and @ Arky are no givens, however..

10-8. Nobody wants to see this team come SEC Tournament time. We are on a roll.

Before the UK game, I said that I could see them going any where from 6-0 to 2-4. At the very worst, I thought we should be 3-3 during the final stretch.
