We plays 5 teams in the top 25. Out of those 5, we play UGA, OK, and Arkansas at home. Only road games against top 25 teams are Bama and Mizzou

I suppose it doesn't mean anything until the rubber meets the road, but it's good to see us there.

That warms my heart.

Here's how I predict the season every year: take the total imaginary wins if we played each team 10 times, and divide by total imaginary games (12 opponents * 10 games = 120 imaginary games).

This is what I have, which should put us in the top 25. Wins =79/120, or 65.8%. That puts us at 8-4.

I think it's a 9-3 type of year.

I don't agree on Arkansas.  They should be either 5-5 or 6-4 in our favor.  I might lower mizzou to 5-5 just because it's on the road and we have yet to beat them.  Bammer is 2-8 and might be 3-7 by the time the game rolls around.  I don't think folks appreciate how down they are right now.


Other than that, spot on.   :patriot:
