I mean if you’re gonna consider Ole Miss a potential loss, then you’d have to consider Arkansas & Auburn as well.


Arkansas and Auburn are at home. Plus neither have a dynamic passing game that can exploit our new secondary on a good day.

Ole Miss is a classic trap game - good offense, on the road, after a string of nice wins.

Florida is the biggest trap game, coming the week after what I assume will be a big win in Tuscaloosa


That's fair. I'd have that as my fifth most likely loss but something tells me if we beat Bama on the road, we're playing for something now and Florida will have likely quit on their season (they will have at 4 losses by then). And if we lose at Bama, we'll be out for blood coming back home.

I see a lot of 12-0, 11-1, 10-2 and I get very nervous. People seem to forget the bed shitting that was aTm last year. I somewhat excuse the FSU debacle because it was game 1 but aTm was inexcusable at that point in the season, especially as terrible as that team was. You'll have the same leadership, coaches, and QB as last year. I hope I'm wrong but I see 9-3 as the absolute best and I truly believe that is aa stretch!

10-2 and hopefully a NY6 bowl.

Year 3-4 are usually our big ones with a new coach, so I’ll say this holds true until proven otherwise.

It was definitely a gut punch, but in hindsight it was almost inevitable. We were playing well but defense was beginning to show the effects of poor depth. We got the bye week to rest up and upset Bama, but that took a ton out of us and the defense was now gassed and beat up after playing a physical team. We played two more games before going into College Station against a team that played directly to our weakness which was an NFL caliber RB with a big arse O-line finally game planned to do what they should've been doing all year which was run the ball straight at people. They did that in spades.

November should be different this year as we have a lot more depth up front and infinitely more experience at LBer. I still expect us to struggle somewhat late in the season as depth across the board is still an issue.

I hope we can go 10-2, but its likely 9-3 with a stupid loss along the way due to inexperienced players having a lot of playing time due to injury. Those guys thrown to the wolves this year will pay off in 2024.

12-2

We Beat Bama but drop one against somebody we should beat. Bama loses 2 SEC games so LSU plays Gawgia in SECCG and we lose close.

We win bowl game an go 12-2.

Should scare everyone. Their entire starting 22 is age and experience. Like 18/22 are seniors or some shite and the others are juniors. They should have a stiff defense.
