That would mean playing 5 of the pre season Top 11 ranked teams.

So if we get beat by all these teams, does that mean their strength of schedule becomes reasonable? Has our role been defined? Asking for a friend.
Show me a single team in NCAA that could go undefeated after playing a stretch that includes Bama, LSU, FL, GA, TAMU and I will show you a national championship team that may be the best team of all time.
That's an insane schedule.
If true, and with Basilio's track record there is plenty of reason to not trust his prediction, than that is indeed an insane schedule. However, I choose to not really care. This season is already pretty much a wash. If we make it through the entire 10-game schedule without the season being cancelled, I'll consider it a success. So, to be honest, playing the best of the best this year might at least make this season fun and worth watching. I'm not going to stress about SEC titles or National Championships in a year like this. I just want to watch football and see if our guys have improved.
Playoffs? Who said anything about playoffs? PLAYOFFS!?!?Just last year, LSU went undefeated, along the way they beat:
Texas
Florida
Auburn
Alabama
Tex AM
Georgia
Oklahoma
Clemson
They had a 4-game stretch where they beat Florida, Miss State, Auburn and Alabama, and to close the season they had a 4-game stretch of TexAM, Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson. Brutal. Won em’ all. And this schedule mirrors any SEC team who won the conference and or national title in the last 20 years. If you’re going to play in the SEC, win the conference and make the playoffs, you’re going to have a murderous schedule.
