What if we hadn't given away the Rutgers, Miss St, and LSU last year?

Considering how close we were to being bowl eligible last season, I'm wondering how much different our August predictions would be if Allen had played against Rutgers, AC hadn't fumbled the ball, and our D hadn't given up that big pass by a rookie QB in the final minute.  If those three things hadn't happened, we would have gone bowling last year; I don't think many would dispute that. 

So what if we had made it to 6?  What would you expect for this season if everything else had been the same, but the ball had bounced our way just a little bit?

If we had won those three games and ended up with 6 wins...I'd expect 9 this year.

The complainers would have been less nasty to deal with, but they would still be visible.

Which goes to show you how illogical fans are.

 I can't believe we got swept by Rutgers.

[LRHawg]

The Rutgers series came at the worst possible time. That said, should have won last year.

[carolinahogger]

We didn't give those games away.  The other teams took them.

I'll even throw another one in there we shoulda beat A&M

No way. We were in that game about like we were in the Auburn game. Maybe a little more.

Agreed.

[chitwnhog]

We would have gone to a lower tier bowl?

That MSU game was some of the worst football I've ever seen, on any level. 

If we don't play like a bag of hammered arseholes, we win that one going away.

I use those close losses to justify why it is in the realm of probability that we are 6-6 this year and to quit dwelling on 3-9.

We ARE going to win six games this year.

[cosmodrum]

That MSU game, though. Just atrocious football from both teams. Both teams whatever they possibly could to lose it. We out-worsed them.
