I will give you the first 3 OOC games plus Vandy. Take away UGA and A&M, I'm not sure I see us going 4-2 against everyone else.

YES . . . and then anything is possible!!!! GBBIt takes a win at FL imo.
And let me be clear, there is a reason I didn't mark the other games as losses. I think we stand a great chance against Louisville and who knows what will happen with MSU.
All of the games are winnable! Yes, I said all. However, 8 of the 12 are also losable. I think we win the 4 occ and Vandy and split 4 of the other 8. I believe people are going to be surprised at the Florida and Georgia games the most though!I will give you the first 3 OOC games plus Vandy.

While I won't predict 8 wins this season, I also will not at this point concede A&M and UL on the road. Both of those road games will be against good teams in tough environments. If we have a punter and kicker, I think there is a chance UK surprises one of those teams. That said, I think it may take UK playing at its best to beat USClite for the fifth time in a row.
I think 8 wins are possible, but so is 5.
To get there, I think the most likely path is:
3 OOC
Candy
South Carolina
Mizzou
Tennessee
UL
UL is not a tough environment. We win there more often than we beat them at home.
A&M maybe but not UL. Neither UK nor UL have an intimidating home field. Both UK and UL trade wins purely on who is better. The home field basically has had no impact whatsoever. This is different than it is with other teams. UK is far more likely to beat Florida or Tennessee in Lexington than on the road but with UL it doesn't really matter.While I won't predict 8 wins this season, I also will not at this point concede A&M and UL on the road.

I think that Florida this year, like last year, is a deal-breaker. With the negativity of the Florida loss last year, we just seemed to have lost our confidence, even with the SEC East being somewhat down.I agree with the Florida game being a big game we have a punchers chance to win. I think we win 8 games either way if we were to go to the Georgia game undefeated the Game becomes a toss up. I really believe in old MO especially if you have the talent and experience to back it up and the win over Florida could give the team the Momentum needed to make a run for the EAST TITLE.
I remember that game so well. That teams first string was legit just absolutely no depth. My oldest son was 2 and ate a Yorkie turd mid 4th qtr. I had him under the sink running back and fourth trying to not miss anything.#1 LSU
I can bear 5 wins...but:
Here’s the caveat- we can’t get rolled by ANYONE. There truly is not one team that should beat us by 20+ points...
If it happens, it’s on Stoops. He should be shitcanned if we get embarrassed like we did last year against UofL, UGA or Miss St. inexcusable with a veteran team.
Hard-fought losses are a sign of preparedness, heart, selflessness and toughness... getting pistol whipped is a sign your coach sucks.

Agree. It's going to come down to winning at least two 50/50 games.I think 8 wins are possible, but so is 5.

Mizzou
Tennessee

If we were to win. It would take me 24 hours latter to let myself believe it.It takes a win at FL imo.
beat Florida and this becomes an entirely different question . . . GBBI will give you the first 3 OOC games plus Vandy. Take away UGA and A&M, I'm not sure I see us going 4-2 against everyone else.
We absolutely should beat Tennessee. They figure to be hot garbage. Jeremy Pruitt halfway sounded to me like he already knows it.Let’s go with the 3 OoC wins and Vandy you propose op. The 3 key games are MSU and SC at home, and UL. We’ve beaten all 3 in recent years. We may be dogs in all 3, but those are winnable games for a program on the rise. If that’s in fact what we are. Then maybe at Missouri for 8. UT isn’t on top of the world having gone 0-8 last year. Could we finally win in Knoxville for the first time in over 30 years? Nah! But maybe.
And they lost eight starters off a defense that already wasn’t very good.I don’t think it would take much to surprise Louisville. That is a very very winnable game. Lamar Jackson is in the NFL now.
Having grown up in Harlan with Knoxville but 2 hours away and Lexington 4 it was a big part of my youth. Our TV stations were out of Knoxville, the tri cities, and Asheville, NC. I want to see UK end that streak in Knoxville as bad as I want anything in sports. Even more than the overall steak against Florida. We need to take care of our that business to though.We absolutely should beat Tennessee. They figure to be hot garbage. Jeremy Pruitt halfway sounded to me like he already knows it.
I agree w the sentiment, but not the extreme. For example ... we lost a close one to UF last year. Was the team prepared? And showed heart, selflessness and toughness? Or did we lose bc of coaching?I can bear 5 wins...but:
