    5-7

    we lose to miami, then beat samford, texas am, miss state
    we beat UCF and kentucky, lose to Tenn
    we then lose the next 5 in a row - dawgs, texas, lsu, ole miss, fsu

    Its going to take a miracle to win 1 of our last 5 games, ole miss maybe is our only chance.

    lol come on man. We were bad the last two years. That doesn't mean we will stink this season. Look at our roster. Miss St doesn't have one guy on their roster that you need to gameplan for. If Napier loses that game he's probably done here.

    No. We are the same as last year and every other team has gotten better. No weaknesses. They are all amazeballs

    7-5.
    Much improved team. Still some depth issues at very important positions that could keep record from being better.

    I do not believe that. It's going to take good coaching, preparation, acumen, true. We hope that in and of itself does not turn out to be a miracle.

    Do you realize that conventional wisdom around the league has us in the playoffs with any combination that gets us 8 or more wins. We are the sole team awarded that prognostication. So the majority I’ve read so far (if you believe that wisdom), has us in the cfp (by most of all your predictions, sans a few).

    I don't think it will play out that way and FWIW I have us 9-3.

    Big 10 is sending 3: OSU, Oregon, Penn St
    Big 12 sends 1
    ACC sends 1
    SEC sends UGA, Ole Miss, Texas, and Alabama
    I think ND will have a really good record with an iffy schedule and a great defense. I think they go.
    The Mid Major auto bid

    So that is 11 teams. If we go 9-3 I don't think we get in over a, say 10 win Mizz team, that plays a soft ass schedule by SEC standards. So no, I don't agree with that sentiment.

    Who knows though. Just looking at preseason schedules, mizzou would have only won 1 game against a ranked team with 10 wins. Us as a 9 win team would have 5 ranked wins.

    Yeah, I respectfully disagree with Tito on this. A 9-win Gator team gets in over a 10-win Mizzou IMO. At some point, the committee would take too much s**t and work themselves out of a job. Anyone can do a blind sort of teams by wins.

    I agree 8-4 wouldn't get us in over a 10-2 SEC or B1G team, but 9-3 should in most cases.

    I don't see this team getting to 8 wins -- if we do the gators are back!!!

    but that means we have to beat: samford a&m missstate ucf & kentucky for 5 wins
    and then also win 3 of these games
    miami tenn lsu ole miss or fsu

    that will be a tough task -- but lets hope we do
    if we beat miami and tenn, we would be 7-0 going into the game against georgia. I just don't see that happening.

    I understand the schedule is brutal, but not every team will be as good as predicted, and not every team will be as bad as predicted.

    I’m going with 8-4

    I would do it, but I don't know if the committee would. Mizz is going to coast this season with that schedule. I would love to see us in though. Getting ahead of ourselves, first let's beat a pretty good Canes team.

    The other ESPN guy had us nowhere. That's really sad.

    What? Fire another coaching staff? Since 2010, we've had five head coaches.
