No bet. I think they sort of suck. And their schedule isn’t easy coming in. But, they get Ole Miss and LSU in Norman/ right? At Bama likely an auto loss. TN isn’t real good. They could go 9-3 or 10-2 if they get lucky. I’d bet on 8-4 or 7-5 as most likely, but who knows.
for whatever reason teams still get credit for “besting a top 10 at the time” team in some corners.
put another way- Saharan has us rated 9th in his computer dork ratings. Our schedule:
Buckeyes- 1
georgia- 6
aggy-7
OU- 13
vandy- 17
florida- 24
MSST- 47
kentucky- 53
arkansas-37
that would be 1-2 against top 5 teams, 3-0 against 6-20 and a loss to the 24 team and then 3 more wins over top 50 type teams that’s a top 10 team in the computers, a top 5 brand in the country, a TV draw etc it’s not a guarantee- but show me 11 resumes that’s would be better than that
the main argument is- that won’t happen- bc we suck and will find ways to lose more than 1 more game- which- probably true but the team that played OU could absolutely go 4-1 against that schedule- probably the team that played Ohio state too
Really good defense and special teams can win games
