    KY and LSU have lost to team better then us. So the odds are not good.

    UCF and that’s a big maybe. The defense cannot compete with any offense we face on the schedule (yes, even FSU). Napier gets out coached by damn near everyone. The O-line is going to continue to get thrashed. Ole Miss or Texas could be some of the ugliest games in this programs history. Buckle up. :(

    I think we get 2 more. Hopefully, they are UCF and FSU.

    I think 4 more wins is very optimistic and would require a lot of defensive improvement and some breaks. It could maybe, just maybe, save Napier's job though. I'm not convinced that would be a good thing.

    Our defense is horrible, especially against the run (why we probably lose to UCF), and we can't run against a decent front seven (why we probably lose to FSU). We may not win another game this season. MSU is terrible.

    I hope for two, but am doubtful. I note that the above is a run on sentence.

    Go Gators!

    I am not trying to be negative and have not been for the 61 years I’ve been a fan. I was optimistic after the ‘Dawgs beat us 51-0 in the old Gator Bowl.

    It is an honest question and good fsith opiopinion.

    I would be Ok losing every game as long as we beat the UT Vols. I live in East TN so it's VOLS 24/7 up here.

    Napier is clearly not "The Guy" and the sooner we can him and try to find "The Guy", the better off we are.

    UCF 50%, Kentucky 45%, and F$U 50% are games we have the best chance to win.

    I would rate LSU at 25%

    Tenn 10%

    GEORGIA, Texas, and Ole Miss, unless they have a major QB injury is 2%

    My biggest fear is that 5+ wins gives BN another year, because of the schedule and 28 million buyout. Next year's schedule is just as bad.

    UT wins by 24 or more.
    Book it.

    I lived in Knoxville during the 1990 and 92 arse whoopings. My UT friends drug me through the mud all effing year. Even those that knew I shed blood, sweat and tears on both campuses. Furthermore, I never rubbed it in on any of them.

    I see your point. We do well when the other team gets a QB injury.

    See our victory against FSU last year.

    I haven't seen one post suggesting that we would beat UT. Yet, you felt the need to drop a score followed by a "book it"?

    Many are like their cur dog mascot.

    Funny . . . every time they run their mouths to me . . . and most have learned to stop by now . . . I remind them they're bound to get lucky once every decade or so and are Peyton's feet still dancing from his last ass whooping? Oh wait, Peyton Manning just lost to the Florida Gators . . . again! Off they slink. LOL! :)

    If Mertz was not hurt we probably beat F$U last year. Yes, we are a bad team, but if talent is equal we do have a "chance". This would be a nightmare scenario, BN keeping his job

    I could see us out scoring UK and FSU, so those are only 2 I think can be wins. Probably 1 of those 2.

    I disagree. We still lose that game under any scenario because we simply do not have a very good coach.

    People are underestimating UK, they are on par with us if not better. They held UGA to 13 points. No way our D does that.
