7-5 Don't see us winning Saturday, but think there is plenty enough talent on this team to get to 4 wins in the east. Also think we play one of the three "unwinnables" a whole lot closer than expected.
WVU - W. I'm going full homer but will understand if UT loses ETSU - W UTEP - W Florida - W. At Neyland and hopefully a boss crowd UGA - L Auburn - L Bama - L SC - L Charlotte - W Kentucky - W Mizzou - W Vandy - W So, 7-5 or 8-4 as I see WVU as a true toss up
That's the way I see it. Need to win at least one of UF or WVU or USC it's a red flag, in my opinion. South Carolina is a tall order for a thin team coming off that four game stretch. Wouldn't be off the wagon if we lose to Mizzou, even though it would really suck to lose to Dooley. Would prefer to be competitive in one of UGA, Bama, Auburn, but wouldn't lose it if we get killed in all three. Lose any of the others and I'm concerned.
8-4. I just don't see how we lose to KY, Vandy, Mizzou, SCe again. I think we beat FL at home, and we beat WVU on Saturday (but still conflicted), and the rest of OOC. That leaves Bama, AU and GA as absolute loses. I think Pruitt scares one of those three with a close one. I can also see us pulling a TN and losing one we shouldn't, not including WVU. Worse than 8-4 means either injuries hit us again, or the QB play and defense let us down.
