Then you've got ASU who played them tough last year, but this time the game's in Columbia. They drop that one though or lose one of the 5 gimmes, and it gets tough. They SHOULD be bowl eligible with about 7 wins, but I don't think they'll be looking at the Capital One Bowl.

Arizona State also was hit heavily by defection, losing its QB and several other stars. Missouri crushes them in Columbia.
Wins:
SE Lousiana
Arizona State
UCF
Syracuse
Kentucky
Vanderbilt
Toss-Ups:
@Texas A&M (three-peat about to happen. Vanderbilt is better than aTm currently)
@Tennessee (this is IF you believe they're going to be better)
@Florida (winning in the Swamp is not easy, but Muschamp has yet to get it going and STILL doesn't have an offense)
Georgia (home game, first SEC game, Georgia is not great early in the season)
Losses:
Alabama
@South Carolina
I would say 8-4 is a good baseline. That would have them splitting the toss-up games (Likely beating aTm and Tennessee and losing to Florida and Georgia). THey're not going to lose a non-conference game if Franklin is healthy.
