Title: My expectations are now firmly 10-2, with a good shot at 11-1
Post by: BanditVol on September 16, 2024, 06:52:38 EDT
That's a plus one from preseason.  Factors are, the decline of OU from preseason expectations, and the play of our D, and I will even throw in that we survied what I thought could have been a tough game in Charlotte being in the win column.

So here is my ranking of remaining opponents in descending order:

Georgia
Alabama
OU
Arkansas (its on the road and they have a good young QB)
Florida (would be lower but we seem to find a way to lose or make it closer than it should be)
Kentucky (probably ahead of UF...but not for us!  :banghead:)
Miss State (hey they are better than Vandy!  or not????)
Vandy (maybe up a slot?  MSU looks pretty putrid)
UTEP (they really do look that bad to put them under vandy and MSU)

Preseason, it would have looked like this:

Georgia
Alabama
OU
NC State
Florida
Kentucky
Arkansas
MSU
Vandy
UTEP
Kent State
Chattanooga

I have also upgraded expectations by +1, but my absolute bottom floor is 9-3. After this weekend, if it goes as I hope, that floor could move to 10-2.

We will see much better OL's....and the QB having more time. Our DB's have not been tested.

Whew! For some reason I thought we played Ole Miss. They are not too shabby either. Their QB is good.
