Pretty good schedule with 7 home games and 5 away.

[Raiders8702]

IMO anything less than 9 wins with that schedule is a letdown.

I'd say prepare to be let down. 

[Tomcats1990]

Probably be favored in 9 games. 8-4 minimum if they can get average to above QB play. 9-3 maybe even 10-2 if the Football Gods forgive us for the whole Bear Bryant fiasco.

Easily could be 4 - 0 going into the Florida game.

But the three games after that are almost certainly losses.

I'm not Deuce but I agree with him.  Here is my thoughts

For sure losses:

1. Florida

2. LSU

3. UGA

So starting there, 9 wins is the BEST UK can do.  Some will say UK will beat LSU, I don't see it.

For sure wins:

1. Louisiana Monroe

2. UT Chattanooga

3. So Carolina

4. UT

5. Vandy

6. New Mexico State

So assuming UK doesn't have a football season similar to this basketball season (ie collapse), six wins is the worst UK can do.

Can go either way games:

1. Mizzou - being a home game UK SHOULD win but.........we are talking about UK

2. Miss State Univ - I give a small edge to MSU being in Starkville

3. UofL - being in Lexington, UK has the edge but this game is no way a sure win.

 

I would say it is highly unlikely UK will win all three or lose all three of Mizzou, MSU and UofL, they will win one or two of them.  So, to me, a GREAT season is 9-3, a good season is 8-4, a so-so season is 7-5, a bad season is 6-6, anything less is UK looking like the UK of years past.  Anything better than 9-3 is an insane season.

Also, this game is in Louisville.

Pretty fair analysis. I can see 9 wins, and I want to say 8, so I'll pick 7.

[John Anthony]

Over/under 8.5.

I can see 9 wins as well, but to say it would be a let down, I don't know about all that.

Especially with a completely different offense.  Presumably.
