You think it is going to take 250-300 yards rushing per game and more than 65% completion percentage to win more than one of the next five games. We are not playing NFL teams.

Ok - I will give you 2 wins out of the 5. I still think it will take 450 to 500 yrds total offense to win the other 3. We are not talking about unranked teams. They are top 10-20 SEC defenses. When was the last time an unrakned team beat 5 ranked SEC teams?
If we go unbeaten through the UF game, I might change my tune. We are closer to Fla. State and Ms. State than we are to bama, OM, UF, A&M, Ark and Tenn. I think I've seen 1 pre season prediction of 9-3 and that was before we lost the 1st game. Everything else I've seen is 6 or 7 wins. Yes, it will take a lot of improvement to beat the top half of the SEC west. 212 yrds. passing won't do it.

8-4 would be a highly successful season. We’ve played 1 SEC game. There is no reason to suddenly think this is a top-15 team at the moment.

Well, we'll know a lot more after this weekend. How good is Florida? Tennessee? Arkansas? Not very concerned with Auburn. Alabama struggled against Texas and can be beat. A&M will always be 8&4. Just keep getting better each week.

I think 7-5 is the ceiling still. Had we beaten FSU, it could be a 9-3 year.

I think we beat Arkansas/8-4, Auburn, Florida, and our rent a win late in the season. Probably lose to Tenn, Ole Piss, Arky/A@M and Bama.
