This team should be better than last year. There are very few spots on the team where we are weaker and most we are arguably stronger. 10-2 would be under performing for this team.

This is either wishful hoping, especially losing to USC, UF, A&M or you should learn to say no to the crack sellers in Gainesville. The biggest games pre BCSCG for us will be Bamer and SECCG. We have high motivation to whop some elephant arse on 11/3 (bad enough that ESPN can't push for another Bama muligan), then beat the best of the east because that will be the only game keeping us for playing for the BCS trophy.

No need to be concerned about our QB. He's been in the program one and half years and has experienced championship competition at the lower level of college football. He will do fine.

I'll go for 10 & 2 as long as we beat Bama. However I expect Lsu to be in the running again for the NC!

I think that's a little ridiculous to be disappointed in a 10-2 season in the SEC.

Especially considering you guys will be starting a QB will hardly any game day experience. Not saying that he isn't talented....just that nobody really knows and he has never been tested in a game.

I expect LSU to take a step back this year but still be in the hunt. I can see them dropping a game to someone like USC, UF, or A&M and then losing to Bama. 10-2 is about what i'd expect out of them.

9-3 is a let down.
11-1 is a really good year.
12-0 I will be more shocked at this than if UF loses 8 games.

We started Jordan Jefferson at QB in the NC game. How, exactly, did his experience or his performance give you the impression that our QB could, let alone actually will, be any worse this year?

We are a consensus top 3 or 5 team going into the season. Winning exactly 10 games this year (counting bowl, SECCG, etc.) would be:

-The 3rd worst of Miles' 8 seasons
-Only the 2nd time in Miles' 8 seasons that we fell short of preseason expectations and ranking (despite being ranked in the top 8 preseason in six of those eight seasons)
-A 3-game step back from last year despite playing an easier schedule by far

Why wouldn't anyone be disappointed in that?
