If you can't open

1. Florida
2. UGA
3 UAT
4 Syracuse
5 Oklahoma

Geez our record agaisnt UGA and of all people Arkansas recently has been terrible and embarrassing.

My picks:

1. UGA
2. UF
3. UAT
4. Oklahoma
5. MSU, think Lebby will have the Dawgs much improved and in Starkville.

UAT: Translation - Bama

They will be starting a new QB with zero game experience in what could be basically a home game for the Vols. I'm not to worried about this game. Their D gave up 41 last year to powerhouses Pitt and UNLV.

We have the better coaching staff and the better team. Kyle McCord is gone. What so confusing?

Playing Florida later in the season is good for us. With all the hype they have going into this year, I could see them falling apart late if the season starts like it did last year. I'd be more nervous if it was the first conference game of the year like it used to be.

The toughest games will be against Georgia and Oklahoma. I think Oklahoma will be improved. And Georgia is a team we gotta finally figure out.

I think it's the beginning of the end of Alabama. They're now like every other program. I expect us to beat them every year.

Shouldn’t be

Shouldn’t be

if it is, it could be a long season.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

if it is, it could be a long season.

Agreed

Definitely-I just don’t take much for granted anymore. We have done less with more (Memphis State and others)

You may be right about UF. But it could be the opposite. Think about this past season. We played them early and barely won. We wouldn’t have wanted to play them late in the season last year as they found their groove. I can’t believe I am saying this but I seriously think we beat them in the Swamp this year.

As far as OU is concerned, they may be better but they are coming here. I don’t think that will be too tough. Bama on the road is gonna be tougher than OU IMO. Bama had a down year last year but Deboer is a good coach. I suspect they will be better this year. As far as UGA, I have nothing to say. I just don’t see how we beat them.

Top half of our schedule is pretty brutal, honestly:

at Lizard
UGA
at Red Elephants
Sooners
Pig
Syracuse

4 losses from this is not a stretch, especially being at Bama and at Florida.
