And that's the point, no one really thinks they are going to be better than last season other than the schedule is favorable with bad schools and new coaching hires. Yet nobody thinks they beat Bama. Nobody really thinks Mond is that good other than he is a senior returning to a division that has new QBs at Ark, LSU, Bama, MSU and Ole Miss (I think).They replace Clemson with Colorado, that's another win. They replace UGA with Vandy, that's another win. That alone should get them to 9 regular season win. 4 OOC, then Ole Miss, Miss, St, Arkansas, Vandy and South Carolina in the SEC. Going 1-2 against LSU/Bama/Auburn seems like a good bet given, specifically what Auburn and LSU lost from last year.
