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 Title: Re: My expectations are now firmly 10-2, with a good shot at 11-1 Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on September 17, 2024, 07:53:38 EDT 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.
