Gee....someone pointed out on Twitter the same forecast had a three win season last year.
All good. Better to be the dog than the underachieving favorite.
ESPN FPI was laughably wrong last year for us too. ESPN needs to fix their computers.
Appears to be rather conservative hacks from my vantage point.
lol very true. People bring politics into anything.So extreme far right are predicting more wins? What does politics have to do with this?
An adjective that pertains to what? It literally doesn't relate to the topic at all in any other way. Yelling "dem dayumm librals' at everything has caused the phrase to become ignorant and overusedIsn’t the words liberal and conservative still an adjective? They don’t have to be political.

Did I say the definition of the word was incorrect?? No. If you read what I said, societal references to the word such as how you were using it because you know exactly what ignorance you were trying to spout, have created the disdain towards the use of said political reference.Ryan use a dictionary it’s explains both words.
Yep. And that is basically the same number "predicted" by Steele's preseason numbers and Connolly's early S&P+ spreads. My earlier subjective assessment was 7, maybe even 8 if they can steal one. Perfectly possible.I actually think this years’ FPI has us at 6.4 wins. Not too optimistic, but a little better.

Its understandable.
Because we had a brand new QB, Josh had 7 sacks the year before and the secondary was a returning sieve that gave up ridiculous yardage.I can see your point, but query: Why did the FPI actually go up one game for this year over last?
I do think the mediocre predictions for our season are warranted considering our defensive personnel losses and the loss of Benny. I like Wilson and hope he takes a big step, but he didnt do anything that leaves media pundits impressed with his play. He just basically managed the game. I think he'll be much better but media guys have to go on what they see. Add that in with the fact that its year 2 for Mullen, South Carolina is a veteran group, Missouri is the same and we were fortunate to beat Vandy last year and UT dominated us in a down year for them.
Its understandable.
Are you willing to bet that they are right? I have a few dollars to lose.
Heres a little advice about computers, garbage in, garbage out.

Who takes ESpin seriously any more. They are a mickey mouse outfit. I don't subscribe to anything they own.Or just close the doors.
In my opinion, attempting to predict season records preseason for football teams by media that have to follow all teams is a fools errand, and for the most part worthless. Even people that closely follow one particular program frequently miss the mark. We have members here that follow the program every day, and know every intricate detail of the depth chart, who is performing well in practice, where the strengths and weaknesses lie, etc. but how many predicted 10 wins last year? If people that focus that hard on one team can't get it right how can someone who is trying to analyze 130 teams possible do better?
At best if you follow a team very closely you may be able to identify if the team is being over-valued or under-valued, but most of the time it's neither. I do think there is some pretty good arguments that would point to Kentucky being under-valued this year by the media and Vegas. In the end no on really knows what will happen.
These preseason predictions are for most part just click bait.
Good post!

Im not saying they are right, but from a media prediction standpoint its hard to predict more for us until its proven again..maybe not 10 wins but 8-4 would be a great response to last season. At times (quite often actually) our offense was pretty bad last year and unable to move the ball effectively. We were one of the worst offenses in D-1 football and have been for the past few years. Its a total team effort and we win games that way, but it would be nice to see our offense take the next this year.
