We have one of the tougher schedules in the land, half a dominate defense to the NFL and even scarier everyone back from a equally WORST offense. what is acceptable for 2013?

I can see why someone would be worried about the defense, but honestly, they underachieved last year. Look at the talent and then look what happened after the Bama loss. Teams were throwing on us like it was no big deal. Last years guys just didn't have that fire anymore, they were ready to move on. Which to me was evident by the record amount of underclass men declaring. They were great players and will all have a place in the NFL, but I'm ready to see that hunger and fire back from the younger guys stepping up, just like Mingo, Montgomery, Reid, and Mathieu did their second seasons.

Absolute worst would probably be 8-4. Although 7-5 might be a 0.5% possibility

8-4. I will not be satisfied with 8-4 but anything less than that is absolutely unacceptable. But depending on ammount of injuries, suspensions, etc. I could probably live with 8-4. However I'm predicting 10-2

The floor IMHO would be 7-5. Even if the wheels come off I can't imagine much worse.

well both UGA and Florida lost great talent to the draft just like us.

All the games we should win would give us eight. Spilt between UGA/UF, and Bama/aTm and we have a 10-2 regular season. Honestly that's my floor because talent alone should get us there.

IF the offense improves like it should under new mgnt.
IF the DE position can show progression.
If Mett has improved on his deep ball, honestly Bama is our only real challenge even in the final BCS NCG.

8 wins is the absolute floor, 9 or 10 are highly likely and 11 is probable. Obviously, we know the issues:

Alabama

Florida

SEC-CG (if we get there)

Bowl Game

Are the only games where it could be in question as to whether we would be favored against the opponent.

Could Miss. State make noise? Certainly. Auburn and UGA, back-to-back? That could be a big problem.

A&M and Arkansas at the end? That's a tough row to hoe. But that's the reality of playing in the SEC, particularly in the SEC-W.

I mean, Bama has to play Kentucky and Tennessee from the East - how's THAT going to prepare them to play us, the SEC-CG (if they get there) or the big game, for that matter?

LSU pays elite money for an elite program. IMO anything less than a BCS bowl is a downer. Whatever schedule we need to get into a BCS game is fine by me.
