Depending on where you look you might find 12-1 but that's the general range. Here's Caesars as of right now....

OSU +625
ND +700
Indiana +700
Texas +750
Oregon +775
Georgia +800
LSU + 1100
Tex Tech +1300
Bama +1500
aTm +1700

I'll admit that's higher than I thought we'd be. Interdasting.....

People are going WAYYYYYYYY overboard with all of this. A ton of new players, new coaches, new scheme on offense. We still don't know if Lane is going to coach like he's playing Madden instead of a top program. I get the excitement because the potential is there. But, I'd like to see what this looks like before just jumping in with both feet saying we are going to be a national title contender in year 1.

Oregon & Texas seem like the best bets currently.

We have no idea what our team will look like, but on paper LSU looks like a playoff team

I feel like OSU and Georgia are always safe bets, although with the NIL era I wouldn't be surprised for more craziness

Indiana

2024 11-2

Miami and TT both just did it through the portal with a complete roster change.

We'll play the 4th, 9th, and 10th highest odd teams all at home in 2026

I’ve seen this a few times here. He was brought here in part because he is the best game day coach in the country. I seriously doubt we will see major change in how he calls a game nor should we want him to IMO.

Uh about 15 of Ole Miss’ starters this season were from the portal. If anyone knows how to rebuild on the fly, it’s Lane. Only issue with next season is the brutal schedule. 2027 lines up perfectly though.

It's the portal era. Every team is in the same boat. fricking Indiana just won the championship. You load up best you can for next year and you coach. Then you do it again the following year. There is no more slow burn program building.

Clemson and OM (if Chambliss lawsuit fails) look to be much weaker than last year, and I think Tennessee is beatable on the road.

We’ll need at least 2/3 from the home games vs Aggy, Bama, and Texas to get to CFP.

which one of those teams is full of juniors, seniors, grad students, etc? based on the last few years, that's the one who's gonna get it done.
