Wins (7) - scUM, UTM, UT, Towson, USC, VU, FSU
Losses (2) - LSU, UGA
Toss-Ups (3) - UK, Auburn, Missouri

Classifying our two ugly home losses this year on road next as toss ups for now, playing Mizzou that late it could be in freezing precip, UK will want a statement win, and the Barn here is a real doozy.

LSU will be out for revenge and we haven't closed the talent gap with UGA, yet.

Right now, I say win two of the three toss-ups, end up 9-3 again, but two big wins over state rivals make a statement. We've got to temper expectations a bit for next year with a rebuilt OL and still questionable QB situation at the present.

As our fearless Fuhrer says all the time....discuss.

 

[Bait'n Gator]

Mizzou and Kentucky are losing way too much, they'll both take a big step back next year. Plus we'll have the revenge factor on our side, no way we lose either of those games.

 

[NOLAGATOR]

Way toooooo early to think about.

Let's see what we have after O&B?

 

[Marine1]

10-2. Not sure if that will get us into the SEC championship game. If not......bowl win makes 11-2.

 

[KronoGator]

15-0.

 

[EyeDocGator]

Losses (2) - LSU, UGA

If LSU plays as undisciplined as today we will emulsify them.

 

[AnObfuscator]

Mizzou and UK will take huge steps back next year, we should be able to handle them easily. LSU and Auburn will be challenging. UGA will still be ahead of us.

We should see 9-11 wins next year. Anything less than 9 should be seriously concerning.

 

[Pablos Tunnel]

11-1 next year

 

[gatormandan]

11-1 next year

We are losing to towson?

 

[Pablos Tunnel]

We are losing to towson?

I do get your question. UGA or UK catches us sleeping early.

 

[fischerwood]

I predict -11-1 with SEC against Bama toss-up
and no clue where loss comes from just not these semis...

 

[QueenCityGator]

Seriously another year with 2 FBS schools? Only good part is watching the scrubs play.

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Got to stop the FCS bull****. You can get away with that in Starkville, not here. At least bring in a MAC or Sun Belt school, although I'd rather us go ahead and nut up and get a home/home with a Big 12, ACC, or PAC 12 school.

 

[ChiefGator]

8/31 vs. Miami (Orlando) Win
9/7 UT-MARTIN Easy Win
9/14 at Kentucky Push
9/21 TENNESSEE Win
9/28 TOWSON Easy Win
10/5 AUBURN Win
10/12 at LSU Push
10/19 at South Carolina Win
10/26 bye
11/2 UGA (Jax) Loss Unfortunately
11/9 VANDERBILT Win
11/16 at Missouri Win I hope
11/23 bye
11/30 FLORIDA STATE Win

This is an optimistic view considering that we have improvement.

Agreed I woul love to see a quality series with teams like Texas, Ga Tech, or WVU.

The good part is winning by a large margin and getting most of the players experience. SOS always wanted to start with two wimps for experience.

but neither next year is early, we play scUM before one, UcheaT before the other

if you want a patsy, make sure it is FBS level

imagine if we even scheduled a home/home with a regional foe like GT, UNC, VT, even Louisville. Big time road trip for the fans.

Agreed
and great to expand our recruiting reach

 

[GatorJB]

9 or 10 wins seem likely. Auburn, LSU, and UGA will all be tough games. Losing to anyone else is inexcusable.
