10-2 (6-2)

L - LSU and Alabama. Let's do this. I'm on a SEC Media Days high.

[msuJD164]

I'm going 10-2 also. We beat LSU, but slip up between Auburn or OM

[patdog]

9-3 (5-3).

[BertleTheTurtle]

I'm hoping for the best, but as a life long State supporter, I'll try to keep my expectations low and my wool trimmed. 8-4 (4-4). Losses to Bama, LSU, Auburn, and Ole Miss (if we played Ole Miss at home this year I'd have us beating them).

[dorndawg]

When I look at our schedule, I like to put down our odds of winning each game (scored 0.0-1) and then tally it up for the season. Here's what I have:

8-30-14	SOUTHERN MISS .9
9-6-14	UAB 1
9-13-14	at South Alabama 1
9-20-14	at Louisiana State .2
10-4-14	TEXAS A&M .4
10-11-14	AUBURN .5
10-25-14	at Kentucky .8
11-1-14	ARKANSAS .7
11-8-14	UT-MARTIN 1
11-15-14	at Alabama .2
11-22-14	VANDERBILT .8
11-29-14	at Ole Miss .5

Total: 8-4

[civildawg88]

8-4 (4-4) ^^Exact same as this guy ^^

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

9-3 (5-3) We will win 2 out of the 5 between LSU, BAMA, AU, A&M, and OM. I am cautiously optimistic for more, but have been a state fan too long...

[Shmuley]

7-5. Lower tier bowl. I'm not saying it's Indians. But it's Indians.

[WayboDawg]

11-1 Regular season. Loss to LSU

[57stratdawg]

I'm hoping for the best, but as a life long State supporter, I'll try to keep my expectations low and my wool trimmed. 8-4 (4-4). Losses to Bama, LSU, Auburn, and Ole Miss (if we played Ole Miss at home this year I'd have us beating them).

Yep. Agreed. 8-4 with an Egg Bowl loss.

I dont know what the Egg Bowl's home team record is when they're not just God awful, but I bet it's pretty much automatic.

[FlotownDawg]

I dont know what the Egg Bowl's home team record is when they're not just God awful, but I bet it's pretty much automatic.

But since 1999, the only time the road team has won the Egg Bowl was when Ole Miss won in Starkville in 2003 in Jackie's last game when the team had quit, and when we won in Oxford in 2010, when the Bears were just plumbing the depths of the Houston Nutt era.

[LandArchDawg]

9-3 (5-3). L's to Bama, LSU, and Auburn. The Vandy game will be closer than it should be, and the OM game will be a near toss-up being at their place.

[CookieMonster]

8-4 (4-4) L's to LSU (of course), Auburn, Bama & Ole Miss

[FQDawg]

Losses to LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Auburn and Mississippi.

I'd be very happy to be wrong.

[aTotal360]

14-0...next question.

[coach66]

nm

[Optimus Prime 4]

8-4 (4-4)

[JungRebel]

8-4 (4-4)

Losses to AL, LSU, AU and OM.

[willi13]

10-2 (6-2)

[bear fan]

8.5-3.5 (4.5-3.5)

MSU could sleep walk their way to 7 wins. Think they definitely get 1 more..... TAM in Starkville is probably most likely but @ LSU, AU, Egg Bowl are all very winnable games. Will they win 1 more is the question. AL only game I see as a definite loss.

[DesotoCountyDawg]

8-4 (4-4)
Losses LSU, Tamu, Alabama, Ole Miss

[HotMop]

Marinate with Dales for 24 hours, cook until well done, plate with ketchup.

[Red87]

Losses to LSU, Alabama, A&M, and UM

[SterlingArcher]

So you'll think we beat Auburn and lose to A&M...interdasting

[LonesomeDog]

9-3 (5-3)

Losses: Auburn, Alabama and either LSU or OM

[columbiadawg2]

L's to LSU, Auburn and Bama then a toss up between the egg bowl and A&M

[Red87]

So you'll think we beat Auburn and lose to A&M...interdasting

That's correct. I think MSU will pay Auburn back for the last minute loss last year but I think A&M will still be a very good team without Manziel because they will actually be able to use that stud offensive line. Having a decent offensive line has been irrelevant the past few seasons because Manziel was always escaping the pocket to try to make a play.

[TBone]

8-4 is my prediction as well.

[Cherokee]

I seem to remember going over to Oxford in 2010 and watching some guy named Relf run all over the black bears. I'm not ready to concede a loss in Oxford at this point. 8-4 is the floor. 9-3 likely, 10-2 possible. I think it is conceivable to win one of two in T'town or Red Stick.

[MSUDC11]

9-3. Lose to Bama and go 1-2 against LSU, Auburn, and Ole Miss.

[SterlingArcher]

Good points I'm serious

[MeridianDog]

9-3

USM
UAB
SA
KY
ARK
UTM
VANDY
UM
+1 from the others

Like DS, I could see 10-2

[coach66]

the game, if both are on a roll or if both are playing poorly then tossup regardless of locale.

[PineGroveBully]

12-0 plus Atlanta plus 4 team playoff

[NCDawg]

Losses to LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Auburn and Mississippi.

I'd be very happy to be wrong.

I agree with 7-5 also. Too many recruiting losses on the OL, and uncertainty regarding our running game. I'll be happy to be wrong, also.

[KurtRambis4]

OM team was also a disaster, devoid of any interests in being winners.

[aTotal360]

World ends before championship game.
