10-3 is the best scenario right now for us. I'll take it. People forget 1-7 back to back SEC records.  SEC East  champs? Big whoop. No one cares about that, people care about who wins the SECC and that will be Bama. Would I have liked to win the SECE this year - yeah, sure. However, I'll take a better ranking at the end of the year. FL will lose to FSU, Bama.

Same here.  Bitterly disappointed in USCe effort, but truth is, I don't want any part of bama2.

Finish 10-3 and this year is an improvement. Finish 9-3 and it's still a good year, especially considering the injury bug that has permeated through this team.

I just want to continue to get better to get to the level where we are the power in the SECE and a threat to win the SECC, every year.

Really hoping that Butch can get us there.

a very realistic possibility. For us to go to sugar bowl these things have to happen.

- FL loses to FSU and Bama. Very realistic.
- Auburn loses to Bama - also realistic

Plus, we have to beat Vanderbilt. While realistic, it's probably the least likely of the three, given the way our defense is defending the run.

I wouldn't bet against Florida losing to FSU. Wouldn't surprise me if they beat FSU.

I would not have bet that L$U would pull  a VOLS vs aTm act either

I would surprise me, honestly. FL's offense is horrific. They had one fluke TD vs LSU yesterday, a 98 yard TD pass. Very poor offense. Their defense is good but LSU's offense right now stinks. FSU should beat them.

We certainly have the potential to beat Vandy handily, but I expect a dogfight.  Vandy is not bad, and we are struggling on D

Well...going to the SECCG is always the goal, so I am disappointed in that.  But your other points are well taken, particularly the portion in bold.  There is a very uninformed part of our fanbase that just ignores this.

Good news is, for the first time since Fulmer is fired, the reasonable part of the fanbase seems to be in the majority, and it isn't even close.
