Backend of the Schedule is very manageable

Those could end up being 5 wins to close the season, include Memphis and that is 6.

The only thing is @FL and @Tenn, but very bad year and new coach, those are very winnable.

UT Martin and Wyoming both at home, thats 8.

@Purdue to me could end up being the gauge of what to come the weeks following. We will not be favored, but Purdue is 5th best team in their Division next year, not world beaters. Winnable game. That's 9.

The that leaves the 3 games of Georgia, @USC, @Bama.

Georgia is going to drop off some next year and we will have a chance to knock them off early in the season. I see Georgia losing @USC week 2 as more probable. But there is always a chance at home. I still believe Georgia will win that game, but think this is the best chance to knock off a top 10 team next year.

When we play @USC, they could be a top 10 team on the road. I honestly see this game as more difficult than at home against Georgia. Could also determine the East this early in the season.

Not a chance @Bama, hope to just not get completely injured for the back end of the season.

I see 9-3 as a good season, but will also be happy with 8-4. 7-5 is disappointing. Anything better than 9-3 will be special. I still think 9-3 gets us to January bowl, Citrus or Outback, and chance to get to 10-3.
