Most experienced GT fans know that it's a fools errand to try and predict the next season with any sort of accuracy this far out, especially based on some crude formula of "We had X Wins this year, only lost Y numbers of players, got Z guys coming back on O and D, we play such as such at home = {rose-colored Win total!!}
The reality is college football is tremendously volatile due to the parity of talent and the age of the players. Sure, Bama will be good and probably 3-4 other blue chip factories. But every season, especially for GT where our margin of error is razor thin, is its own entity. And as noted above, things are not the same in NOv. as they were in September. Things are not linear in college football. Random things and chaos play HUGE roles in individual games, and ultimately W-L records.
That said, think we will be at 8-4.
