10-2 is a disappointment I can cope with. Anymore losses than that an I'm pissed.

Anything less than 10 wins would be a disappointment. 10 wins would be expected, and 11 wins and I'd be thrilled.

7&5 with our tough schedule. With Bama's schedule 10&2

We've won 10 or more games in 6 of Miles 8 years (and it should have been 7 of 8 had it not been for the refs in the '09 Capital One Bowl.)

So anything less than 10 wins would be a disappointment to me....

The "Traditional" 10-2 would be the minimum. 9-3 would be totally unacceptable, especially if the Devils go on to win another S.E.C. and National Championship.

I don't want to hear any BS about the schedule or the mass NFL defections either. Play the hand your dealt.

Since "Two Loss Les" usually finds a way to transmute a few games from "Possible Defeats" into the reality of "Actual Defeats", I won't expect anything different this season.

We'll just all have to wait and see if Cam Cameron can step right in and make a difference in the offensive game plan, play calling and player personel decisions. He may (Or may not) be the difference maker.

8-4 would be a disappointment for me. I am expecting at least 9-3 or better.

Anything less than 10 wins in the past 10 years has felt dissapointing.

However, 10-2 has been pretty rough considering at least one loss is always very close. This always propagates the "what if" discussions.

For example, if LSU held on at the end of the Bama game perhaps they go on to win the west. If they win the west they could have won the SEC and played for the title.

I would almost prefer a 9 win season to eliminate these endless offseason discussions.

Realistically, I think this schedule is a bear, and I'd be disappointed with less than 9 wins.

I have low expectations for this season so I would say 7-5.

4 games against teams that finished higher than us last year (Bama, Georgia, aTm, Florida) and a couple trap games (Ole Miss, TCU, etc).

8-4 is my disappointing regular season.

Too many people here aren't properly factoring in our brutal schedule. 10-2 will be a very tall order this year, given the starters we lost and, most importantly, the brutal schedule.

Four lose-able games
@ UGA
FL
@ Bama
A&M

Other legit games - could drop one
TCU
@ Ole Miss
ARK

Sorry, but it's hard for me to see less than 3 losses.

Bama is the hardest game on the schedule, but the Tigers have played well recently in T town. They also had them on the ropes last year. Not chalking it off as an L just quite yet.

Georgia is a hard one to call, but it will be a tough game on the road.

ATM - the Tigers withstood the initial onslaught by the Aggies in College Station. ATM lost a lot on offense, but likewise the Tigers lost a lot on defense. I'm betting that home field advantage will give the Tigers a 2-0 record over Johnny Football.

Florida and LSU were mirror images of each other: a solid defense carrying a sputtering offense. After holding the gators to under a hundred yards in the first half, the Tiger offense could not put the gators away. A one dimensional Florida attack was aided by key injuries to let them pull off the win at home. A much improved Tiger offense is going to get revenge in Tiger Stadium this year.

There are no trap games this year, and the Tigers have a chip on their should. They were disrespected in 2011, and slept walked through 2012. They lost a lot of great players, but the young guys are hungry. The target isn't on their back this year, and I really think this team can overachieve.

Anything less than 9-3 would be disappointing. We have a lot of big games this year and I think the Tigers have it in them to win some of those. I don't think this team is as bad as the 2008 team either (which I predicted 8-4 at the worst).

Having said that, anything better than 9-3 reg season would be impressive. That would mean we won more than half of our big games.

Not being in the hunt for the NC late season would be a disappointment. Which means, we have to beat Bama and A&M. I wouldn't care if we dropped one or two outside of that.

My over/under is 9. 9 wins and I ain't even mad. 10+ wins and I'm pretty damn happy. 8 wins and I'm not too pleased
