We have 8 games it should be very difficult to not win:
Wins:
11/13 Alabama A&M
11/19 Unknown
11/26 Northwestern State
11/28 North Carolina Central
12/6 Miami (OH)
12/17 Eastern Illinois
12/29 Lipscomb
2/11 Vanderbilt
We have 7 more games I see as toss ups:
11/18 Clemson or Davidson
12/3 Western Kentucky
12/21 Illinois
1/10 Auburn
1/21 Ole Miss
1/28 South Carolina
2/18 @ Tennessee
I'm inclined to say we likely lose every one of those games, but they are all rather winnable. This is where our season will be made or broken. If we could win 5 out of those 7, you aren't looking at the 3rd straight worst season in the program's modern history. Lose the majority of them and you certainly are.
I think we will also surprisingly win at least 1 game against a team we shouldn't. That should get us in the ballpark of 12-15 wins, and Kim can tell himself he 'rebuilt' this to the degree he can walk away and retire without hanging his head in complete shame. If that all occurs, I think we are only 3 or 4 years away at that point if we can make a good hire.
