    What do you see as a total collapse? 7-5, 7-6 would seem to mean with his best roster so far he is still middle of the SEC. I see the roster as 8-9, even 10 on the full season. The biggest hurdle will be road wins. He's at 22%(2 of 9) and needs to win half of the six(more is better). If we only win one or two of our road games he has to go undefeated at home. Even if that happened, no coach who loses most road games will ever make a championship run. Interesting season coming our way.

    I see 8 as reasonable but that is only one game from 7 or 9. Lots of crazy things can happen and sometimes its just the breaks. We cant look like we did in several games the first half of last year. If we look like a competent team all year and there are four or even five teams that are just more talented and beat us, i can live with that. The question is is, how many teams do we play that are more talented than us. If DJ isnt playing, that number goes up.

    1.He gets a break for having the toughest schedule in the country. No one expects an undefeated year. So the question becomes is one loss acceptable? What about two. If you get into the playoff with three we still good. The gray area starts at four losses as you don't make the playoffs but maybe you have a close loss to say Texas who wins an NC or plays for one. Five losses are disastrous IMO.

    We have to see the season as a whole, not just numbers. I want to see a well coached team with solid decision making and may the best team win. No more losing to Tennessee when we should have won or at least made a better effort to do so.
