from Odom w/ SEC-caliber prospects.
While our most experienced players will still be Odom recruits, I'm becoming cautiously optimistic that we could have a 7+ win season.
It depends on whether Odom's players can be coached up enough to compensate for their level of talent, team chemistry of all the newer recruits (since there are lots of them), and how weak or strong the schedule turns out to be (SoS).
Our first 6 games include:
@ K-State
@ Auburn
@ Florida
Georgia
We'll be heavy underdogs in 3 of those (Georgia, @Auburn, @Florida)... and K-State is a likely loss as well, so a 2-4 start is possible if not probable.
We also have road games @ Tennessee and USC... and home games against Arkansas & Kentucky that will both be coin tosses.
We have 4 games that should be "automatic" wins (LA Tech, NMSU, ACU, Vandy).
