[ZERO]

I have also said 7-6 since December. If it's a losing season, I'll be disappointed but not discouraged. BB & Crew have my full support.


EDIT: My W/L is pretty much the same as yours. We could also pick up a game like South Carolina and lose the Bowl.

[elksnort]

Pretty much what you have written. The Rutgers game is crucial.

[Tim Harris]

Win all 4 non conference games and 2 out of 3 between Auburn & the Mississippi schools.

yes, Rutgers game is huge, I believe it makes or breaks our hopes for this season.

Regular season, 9-3, Win a bowl game 10-3. We are gonna do what we should have done last year.

Agree completely.

6-6 with wins over Auburn and MSU.   

I don't agree with predicting bowl games when you don't know the opponent.  So, I'm going with 6-6.   It could be against La Monroe or could be against Florida State or OU that early season injuries. 

[Ty Webb240]

Regular season, 9-3, Win a bowl game 10-3. We are gonna do what we should have done last year.

Are you serious?  What 3 losses do you see?

I think 4-8 is much more likely than 9-3.

Totally agree with yours-

[HiggiePiggy]

14-0......

[HogCaller13]

7-5 with a Liberty Bowl Win to make Us 8-5.

[elksnort]

yes, Rutgers game is huge, I believe it makes or breaks our hopes for this season.

Rutgers might have lost many of their play makers. Someone else can do the research. Even with our crappy team (results) last year, with the proper leadership, we would have defeated Rutgers at home last year.

I've been watching Arkansas for years. I'm not sure when the last time we've played an out of conference game and traveled so far and played well and won. I think the mental toughness part will be as important as anything when it comes to beating Rutgers at Piscataway (sp) this fall. Let's hope our guys are mentally tougher than our basketball team on the road.

[HiggiePiggy]

My real prediction is 6-6 regular season.   We lose to Rutgers then it's 5-7.

[idochog]

I think we win all the nonconf games & miss stank & auburn.
I think we have a chance to get a&m & South Carolina bc they home games
I think ole miss is our only winnable road game

[razortaz]

I say 7-5 we will beat one of the two between a&m and usce. I think we have the element of surprise for the first couple of sec games if we do not have to show are complete hand before then

[Mr. Porkleone]

14-0......

Rick Schaeffers in the house

[ErieHog]

5-7  ;  injuries and tough breaks torpedo bowl hopes.

[Hawk]

7-5, with a win in the bowl.

I think we beat Ol Miss.

[Hawg Balling]

5-7  ;  injuries and tough breaks torpedo bowl hopes.

Not saying I disagree with your assessment, but injuries and breaks are impossible things to predict.  If anything, both regress back to the mean, and they (along with turnovers) killed us last year.  I'm not predicting the anti-2012 happening in 2013, but we didn't have so much as a ball bounce our way last year.  Last season was the perfect storm of awful coaching, rash of injuries, poor turnover margin, and breaks not going our way.

[bennyl08]

UL-w
Samford-w
So Miss- w
Rutgers- w
aTm- l
Florida- l
SC- to
Bama- l
Auburn- w
OM- w
MSU- to
LSU- to/L

We go 7-5 with a decisive bowl victory giving us 8 wins, with an outside chance at 8-4 if we win 2 of three toss ups and a chance for a 9 win season depending on bowl opponent.

Our offseason has been positively sensational so far this year. If we can make it these last five weeks without some crap going down, we'll have had one of the best offseasons in the SEC. Our players not shooting themselves in the foot is already evident.

I realize that's not really what you're talking about, but us maintaining what depth we have with players behaving themselves and not sustaining any practice injuries has helped us tremendously thus far.

[razorjack12]

5-7.

Unless Louisiana beats us, then the wheels may fall off.

[razortaz]

[PygmalionEffect]

Win all 4 non conference games and 2 out of 3 between Auburn & the Mississippi schools.

This plus a&m and s.car at home.  If I wasn't a homer I would predict we might could win one of those two, but I'm a homer so I'm going to say we win both.

We were ahead of a&m last year at their place into the 2nd quarter until Knile started acting like the football was a magnet and he was a piece of metal of opposite polarity.

And T. Wilson throwing INTs all over the field like he was coming off a concussion or something.

A lot has to go right for us to win eight.  A lot has to go wrong to win just four.

[bphi11ips]

I honestly believe we will play good football. 

[PorkSoda]

Regular season, 9-3, Win a bowl game 10-3. We are gonna do what we should have done last year.

I'm leaning towards this, no reason we can't beath rut, tamu, usc, etc

[Hogarusa]

How are you guys predicting a bowl win over an imaginary opponent?  Arkansas is one of the worst bowl teams in the history of ever.   5-7.  #neveryield #1-0 #hashtags

Hard to predict, yes, but they happen.  And unfortunately, our depth is not where we would like it across the board yet.

I think we'll see marked improvement in the first units,  but there is going to be a season of getting the rest of the depth chart mess sorted out-- and those guys play enough important snaps that it will potentially cost us ballgames.

[ComeonHogs!!!]

  We win our first 5...we beat A&M.. do not believe their d line is as good as last year, plus its at home.

We then beat Aube, and both miss schools.

  may pic up a win fl or SC but not likely..

lose to LSU and bama..

8-4

[bennyl08]

By seasons end, we will have the talent of an 8-9 win team, but will probably be going to a bowl game of a 6-7 win team. Hence, I think we win 17+ against any opponent in the Liberty or Music City Bowl. If we do manage to hit 8 wins this season, that puts us in a much tougher bowl game and becomes harder to predict.

[Hawg Balling]

Definitely, and it's something our fan base has overlooked almost completely.  I'm hoping that a combination of (fingers crossed) better health, healthier turnover margin (a staple of Bielema's Wisconsin teams), better fundamentals, and slower tempo will help to alleviate some of the pressure on depth and give us a crack at bowl eligibility. 

[HawgFan70]

I'm just curious not trying to flame, Do some of you honestly think we will beat aTm? What makes you even kinda think this?

[bandit22]

My upset for the year is @Florida. Calling it now but still a 7-5 season. IMO a bowl game this year would be a success.

[PorkSoda]

I'm just curious not trying to flame, Do some of you honestly think we will beat aTm? What makes you even kinda think this?

manzel will be hung over.

the dude is in for an epic sophmore slump.  the only thing that would make it better would be if sumlin hired nutt as the QB coach. 

[hogsanity]

anything over 4 wins will be a success this year. 

[John Futrall]

8-5

[PorkSoda]

anything over 4 wins will be a success this year. 

5+ wins is enough not to fire BB in his first year, but I want to see 7 regular season wins.  if he does that, then I'll be a beliemer

[gmarv]

7-5 or 9-3 depending on how the out of conference goes. i think people have let last year influence them , just like people let the year before last influenced them. of course we all saw what no coaching does. so excellent coaching gets us back on track.

[ComeonHogs!!!]

I'm just curious not trying to flame, Do some of you honestly think we will beat aTm? What makes you even kinda think this?

Texas A&M lost there front 7 on def. two first rd draft picks on off of line. there top WR.

They also lost there OC.

They have to replace a lot. we catch them early in the year at home after they play Bama..

I believe we will be 4-0 feeling very good about beating A&M. Hey its what makes us fans...

[Ty Webb240]

I honestly believe we will play good football.

I do too.   That's why I'm predicting 6-6.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This

I don't know why fans of many teams do this.  You don't know who you will play regardless of record. 

[GoHogs1091]

My regular season predictions.

Hogs   6-6   (can be 7-5 if we can win at home against South Carolina)

ASU   5-7   (ASU's Head Coach is a 1st time collegiate Head Coach learning on the job)

UCA   11-1  (at worst 10-2)

[rickm1976]

Me too:  7-5 Regular season, and a bowl game win.

[NaturalStateReb]

Prolly 5-7, although 6-6 is possible.  Got to win State, Auburn, and at Rutgers to make a bowl, IMO.

[Mulberry Squeezins]

7-5
