Extremely optimistic indeed.
First things first, has this team given anybody an impression that they can win on the road? So here is an absolute worse case scenario.
At Tennessee L 10-7
Georgia W 11-7
Texas A&M L 11-8
At Vanderbilt L 11-9
Kansas L 11-10
At Mississippi W 12-10
Florida W 13-10
Arkansas L 13-11
At Georgia W 14-11
At Mississippi State L 14-12
Tennessee L 14-13
At Florida L 14-14
Auburn L 14-15
Vanderbilt W 15-15
At Arkansas L 15-16
Wow 15-16? I hope not, but I think we are going to be close to that. Unless something dramatically changes, but this looks to me like the Askew-Boston team. Just don't see the weapons or coaching available to make a huge difference.
