10 - 2Regular season, I wanna say more, but the realist in me says 9-3 (with a shot at 11-1) but what's in parenthesis doesn't count as my pick.
The ESPN talking heads all predict Bama wins the natty.
I think we lose 1 game but win the title.

2023 college football sleepers: 6 teams that could shock the world this season | FOX Sports
TCU proved last season that college football is always capable of serving up a surprise or two. Here are six teams capable of pulling off a similar run.www.foxsports.com
Kentucky Wildcats
Similar to the aforementioned Bielema and the Illini, Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops deserves respect, and nobody should believe they won't claw their way to seven wins this season (projected to win 6.5). Sure, the SEC East is formidable, but Stoops has guided Kentucky to four consecutive bowl games, winning three of them. The Wildcats did lose the Music City Bowl last year to Iowa, but with star quarterback Will Levis opting out of the game, that shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise.
With all due respect to the undeniably gifted Levis, the Wildcats may, in fact, get more consistent play this year from NC State transfer Devin Leary, whose 60.2% completion percentage and 62-16 career touchdown-top-interception ratio fit in better with the defensive-minded Stoops anyway. Leary joins a squad boasting one of the better offensive lines in the SEC and potential NFL draft picks all over the roster. Edge rusher J.J. Weaver and cornerback Andru Phillips are among the Wildcats on defense that I think could ascend this season into all-conference candidates.
12-0 regular season.

Have you forgotten about Oct 7th?
I've predicted an undefeated regular season (with scores of every game) for the last 2 seasons, and I've been pretty damned accurate.
So, here goes this year.
UT-Martin 38-10
Ball State 35-7
S Carolina 31-17
UAB 45-10
Auburn 42-21
Kentucky 27-21
Vandy 35-10
Florida 37-20
Missouri 38-14
Ole Miss 48-28
Tennessee 45-35
GaTech 42-14
It's also the lowest score I have for UGA because I think y'all have a defense that can keep you in every game you play this year. I don't think any other team we face can say that.I (and I'm sure @Hard2Bluff) appreciate your respect for our what UK's program has become (not to mention that UK has always seemed to play UGA closer than they should for years now). That's the only single digit win you have on your list.
