The SEC finally (re-)released the 2020 SEC football schedule yesterday, so we now have something to talk about other than just whether we’re actually going to make it to the starting line. That means it’s time to fire up the Gameday on Rocky Top Expected Win Total Machine.
The 2020 Expected Win Total Machine
My assessment
My expected win total is 5.4.
If I was just assigning wins and losses, I’d be at 5-5.
Details
at South Carolina: 70%
Missouri: 70%
at Georgia: 35%
Kentucky: 60%
Alabama: 25%
at Arkansas: 90%
Texas A&M: 35%
at Auburn: 35%
at Vanderbilt: 90%
Florida: 30%
And here’s how it looks with its church clothes on:
I’m at 5.43, a little less enthusiastic in the big games and a little more confident against the lesser foes than Joel:
at South Carolina: 62%
Missouri: 83%
at Georgia: 20%
Kentucky: 63%
Alabama: 20%
at Arkansas: 95%
Texas A&M: 38%
at Auburn: 39%
at Vanderbilt: 88%
Florida: 35%
Without looking at Joel’s, I came up with 5.3… got to see these guys in action to get more optimistic. Here are my numbers:
at South Carolina: 60%
Missouri: 70%
at Georgia: 30%
Kentucky: 60%
Alabama: 10%
at Arkansas: 90%
Texas A&M: 50%
at Auburn: 40%
at Vanderbilt: 90%
Florida: 30%
Go Vols!
I’m slightly more optimistic, apparently. Not a lot but a little. I think we get between 5 and 6 wins. This bears that belief out.
Your expected win total is 5.60.
