    Assuming we make it through the full schedule whats everybody got for this year?

    I got wins against Vandy, Arky, Mizzou, USCe, and UK.

    I think we are to a point where a win against Bama is not probable but at least have a chance.

    I don't think its unreasonable to think we can get 1 out of 2 against UGA/UF and 1 out of 2 against A&M/AU.

    I'll go 7-3, but I think we need to be 6-4 at worst.

    6-4, I'm happy. Anything more and I'm ecstatic!

    6-7 wins in year three? Fire him, iyam.

    Need at least 10 wins during the regular season in year 3 to show progress, imo.

    I think the benchmark is no worse than 7-3.

    Honestly, if we are making progress we need to knock off a couple of the Bama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, A&M group. I think we need to get to 7.

    6-4 would probably be about par, imo

    It’s just hard for me to imagine much better than that, unless somebody blows up at QB.

    I was on the 8-4 train before our schedule got so much tougher, but I think 6-4 against the current schedule is going to be tougher than 8-4 against the old schedule. That said, while it wouldn’t be a shock, it’d be hard not to be disappointed with 5-5. Right now, I think getting one of the top 15 opponents and avoiding slip ups against Kentucky and South Carolina (and the rabble behind them) is a good year. One slip plus two wins against the top half of the schedule is also good. I’d be ecstatic with 7-3 or better.

    Tennessee doesn't "slip up" to Kentucky.

    If we beat Georgia, I think Kentucky might catch us the following week (and I would take that trade tbh). There’s a reason they haven’t won in Knoxville in my lifetime but they can beat us if we’re still thinking about the last game (or the next one).

    That's statistically incorrect

    It took us employing Butch Jones and [ddiapos] for Kentucky to steal their only two wins in the last 35 years by a total of 6 points.

    We aren't losing to Kentucky this year.

    JG ain’t getting us anywhere north of 6 wins IMO.

    Chaney can coach QBs. Let's see what happens

    There’s enough data out there on JG to safely say he isn’t beating any elite teams.
