re: What's your realistic projection for overall season?

I’ll keep reposting and updating my thoughts:

This was my post after MSU:

I originally thought 7-3 (Bama, UF, Auburn).


Auburn didn’t look great so that is winnable. I’d also think A&M is more questionable after seeing us though.

Likely 6-4 now but 7-3 still possible.

After this week I’ll adjust, I know this sounds crazy, but I actually think next week we bounce back and get a big unexpected win in the swamp. It’s a very O move like picking up AU in 17 or UGA in 18. The offense has shown it can keep up in a shootout and I just think eventually we’ll get the ball last or the other team won’t be able to finish it, and this could be that week.


But seeing a Gus disciple destroy our D yesterday makes me think Auburn is going to be trouble, and obviously OM looks like a big ol shite storm waiting to happen.


I’ll go with:

Florida W
SC W
Auburn L
Alabama L
Arkansas W
A&M W
OM ???


So that puts us at 5-4 with the OM finale as the swing between a winning season and 5-5


I’ll wait on that because right now it would probably be an L but I feel like OM will flame out at some point and we can’t help but improve on D. Want to see more before I call that one but it will be a huge game.

Updating with schedule change, I’ll now move UF to a likely L, keep OM at ? and swap AM to ?

SC W
Auburn L
Alabama L
Arkansas W
A&M ??
OM ???
UF L


So 3-5 with two toss ups

Based on most people's responses, it sounds like USC is a must-win. I have to agree. Tonight is not only a must win, it's a game we have to look very good in. The offense - even with a true freshman QB - has got to continue moving in the right direction. The defense needs to show massive improvement. No more missed assignments, bad angles, no more missed tackles and no more half-arse effort. We need to get more push up front, our LBs need to show up for the first time this season and our DBs need to show they are as talented as advertised. I realize we're young, but that's no excuse for a defense to look this bad against the bottom feeders of the SEC!
