Im hoping for an undefeated season , but realize we have 2 we possibly lose. What are your thoughts? Roll Tide:BigA:
This is my thought as well. Good postGames that we could lose but should win: Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Texas A&M
Games that will be toss ups: Georgia, LSU, Auburn
That's 9 potential losses on the schedule but we ain't losing 9 games. Worst case, we lose two of the should win games and lose to both Georgia and Auburn on the road, making us 8-4 regular season. This is what will happen if the QB situation doesn't pan out, and injuries occur. Best case, IMO, we stay injury free and one of the QBs steps up and becomes the man, and we go 11-1 with a loss to Georgia or Auburn on the road. Maybe 12-0 if everything bounces just right. But it would take everything bouncing our way, IMO. We've only gone undefeated through the regular season once in the Nick Saban era. It's extremely difficult to do.
Pretty much agree, most likely 9-3.Games that we could lose but should win: Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Texas A&M

I think the Aggies will be looking for revenge after their spanking last year, but I don't believe they have the team just yet.
The Vols will be much improved with Dobbs and will probably give us our toughest game since Rocky Block. If this game were at Neyland, I might put this as a loss. Thankfully, though, it's at home.
Mississippi State could go either way. Stop Prescott, we win. Allow him time to make things happen, we could lose.
I'm not afraid to say the Barn game has me concerned. If a leader has emerged at quarterback by this time, we can certainly win.
However, if it turns out to be one of those days (dropped passes, dumb penalties, missed field goals), it could get ugly. If we have to rely on Griffith's leg for the majority of our points, I will go ahead and mark it as a loss. Also, I've never seen a team feed off of its crowd the way Auburn does. If the game remains close the entire time, that could be a factor. Just a lot of unknowns at this point and too close to call.
I agree with this post.Games that we could lose but should win: Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Texas A&M
