Remember, this is the same outfit that gave us a 1.3%-win chance in the Cotton Bowl with 4 minutes left to play in the game.

I'm not a fan of those silly percentage things, but that was probably a pretty accurate assessment of our chances to win at that point.

If we beat Ole Miss @ Yulman on 9/9/2023, then much like 1998, we can "run the table" for the remainder of our schedule.

Tulane FB over rated . So says Saturday Down South .

We are certainly underrated by Athlon but….,I think most on here are slightly overrating this year’s team. We lost maybe the best offensive player in the history of the school, some good WRs and a really good off coach. We lost some of the best defensive players (and leaders) from last year’s team as well as a really good DC who might have done as good a job as any DC in school history.
All of that tell me it will be hard to duplicate 2022. I know the schedule might be easier but there are still 4-5 good teams on it.

This season really is a test to see if we have become a program and not just an occasional good team. To be a program, we need to be able to fill those holes each year. Each team can have differing strengths and weaknesses, but they all have to be able to win.

This post, coupled with anEngineer's post tell it all. If Fritz has truly built a program to last, we will fill the holes and win 10 games. Getting the NY6 bid would be amazing, but winning 10 games back to back for the first time would be extremely satisfying. We've only won 10 games a handful of times in our history. With this schedule, 10 wins is the bar we need to pass.

A Big 10 and SEC roll call.

That ESPN ranking is just a regurgitation of what history has made—not the reality of what will be played on the field. A lot of giants will shrink and some little ones will surprise. Our goal is consistency-not a one and done. ESPN could get a fifth grader to come up with their picks
