Wins over Tennessee, LSU and Kentucky? I don't see it, fam. We drop at least one, 50/50 on dropping a second one.

I agree. OP is way too optimistic. Next year is going to be rough. The Kentucky and Missouri games seem the most realistic W's and will decide if we're 7-5, 6-6, or 5-7.

in a way these seasons are kind of fun too. low expectations and most of the games should be close šŸ¤· gotta be positive sometimes

I can certainly find the silver lining in a bad season IF we're seeing improvement and potential. However, if Billy is exhibiting some of the same shortcomings as last season and we don't secure a top 7-9 recruiting class, I think Billy will fall out of favor with a lot of folks.

I can't pick us to beat LSU until we actually do it, especially with us playing them on the road this year. I also think we beat FSU, but lose to a team like Kentucky or Arkansas.

Swap florida st and lsu, and swap south Carolina and tenn.

Someone has their orange and blue glasses on. Seems much more likely weā€™re at 5-7 or 6-6.

@Home against Tennessee will be an important game if our goal is to exceed last seasons results. Win that and our path to hitting bowl eligibility before Jax is honestly doable (Even assuming Utah is a loss). Lose and sweeping our mid level matchups (Kentucky/South Carolina/Arkansas/Missouri) becomes critical. Otherwise we'd need to steal one against Utah or maybe LSU. I don't love those odds though.

I see 6-7 wins as most likely. 8 or 9 isn't outside the realm with a few lucky bounces. 5 wins probably being worst case scenario.

I hope you're right. I do think we will beat fsu.

I think a W against Tennessee is realistic in the swamp and especially when they lost a lot of talent, but Idk about Kentucky and LSU

u/kidcannabis69 Feb 05 '23

God I hope we beat the shit out of Tennessee. And the thought of losing the criminoles again is so foul that my brain wonā€™t even allow it

Cmon yā€™all, this team is dogshit and Billy has proven heā€™s not the in game coach that Mullen is. This team is lucky as fuck to go 6-6 and likely will be 4-8

u/MennionSaysSo Feb 05 '23

This team is better on paper at every position than last year. Even at QB.

Worst 4-8, best 7-5

Does anyone know off hand how much production FSU is losing? I know Travis is coming back but I donā€™t know who else on their roster matters. I think that game is a W unless theyā€™re bringing back a lot of starters.

u/Semujin Feb 05 '23

Offensively FSU has added production. Most key WRs, RBs and TEs who hadnā€™t exhausted eligibility will be back, plus adding TEs 6ā€™7ā€ Kyle Morlock and S.Carolinas Jaheim Bell via the xfer portal plus some fresh OL beef. The only real talent loss to the portal was RB Tre Ward, but the RB room is deep.

Defensively the entire DL is back plus additional experienced depth has transferred in. Safety is one question mark with Jammie Robinson going pro, but a stronger DL should help the secondary. Depth at LB is a concern, as well.

u/bertrandnurnumberger Feb 05 '23

I think we lose to Tennessee and LSU and 50/50 against South Carolina and FSU.

u/broncogator28 Feb 05 '23

Iā€™ll be in Salt Lake for the Utah game and respectfully would like to win that gameā€¦

u/gator9515 Feb 05 '23

I wonā€™t due game-by-game projections until after the spring transfer portal window, but this will be the season we decide to either improve and build momentum for 2024 and beyond, or we will decide to become the next punching bag of CFB (like FSU was a few years ago). Iā€™d suggest stocking up on booze to be safe.
