Ole Miss will be better than LSU this year.

But my argument was based on last seasons final rankings so I know that's a moot point right now.

Ole Miss>LSU. No way. Ole Miss lost 5 games last year and have LSU on the road. LSU will be SEC West champs this year.

Florida has a tougher schedule because:

1. We are on it.


2. FSU
3. BAMA and LSU vs our BAMA and Mississippi


I spelled out Mississippi because I like to put my education to use now and then.

About how ANY team in the country has a tougher schedule than UT. As far as I have seen, no one has us as #1 on their SoS list, some actually have us surprisingly low, and I listened to ESPN blabber on today about how Florida may have the toughest schedule in the country.

Using final rankings of last year, we play 4 of the Top 7 teams from the 2013 season. The lowest ranked of those is Bama at 7. We play #6 Oklahoma on their own turf. We play a 9-win Utah State team, we play an Arkansas State team that's 28-11 in their last 3 seasons.

We play Georgia, who spent the first half of last season in the Top 10 and the latter half in the Top 25. We play Ole Miss (who has been picked by several sites to be a contender in the west) on their own field, and a Vanderbilt team that is coming off a 9-4 season in Nashville on our other home field.

Can anyone find a team with a tougher schedule?

Respectfully disagree about Ole Miss being better than LSU. Will believe it when I see it

Can you honestly say you would rather play Ole Miss than LSU? I almost guarantee if we had LSU on the schedule you wouldn't be attempting that argument.

Ole Miss is bringing back EVERYONE and they are year 2 into their stellar recruiting class. Meanwhile, LSU is going to have a Georgia/SC/Bama style drop off at QB and they've lost their 2nd round draft pick RB Jeremy Hill.

I'm open to discussion, but why exactly will LSU be so good this year?

Because LSU's recruiting was as good if not better than Ole Miss' stellar class. That's the problem in the SEC. You can have a top 10 recruiting class and be 6th in the SEC.

Not to mention LSU's #2 class in 2014 where they will replace Hill with the #1 RB recruit in the country.

Ole Miss is poised to be the next big team in the SEC IMO. They brought in 3 Rivals 5* recruits and all 3 were game changers as freshmen. They are back now with Bo Wallace at the helm. Laquon Treadwell literally catches everything.

They were 2-10 in 2011. They are tending up in a big way. 8-5 did not reflect their talent last year.

I had the same issue with Arky last year.
Ill say they and Florida tie.
Lets get evens out of the way.
Both get Mizzu and Uk at home with @ Vandy.
@Fl st > @ Okla but Vols get Utah st.
Vols get Dawgs and scjr at home while UF travels but they must travel to Bama and UT.
Vs LSU = @ Miss.
Really comes dpwn to matchups.

Bo Wallace at the helm. That should be enough.

I agree that Ole Miss is a good team. However, they play in the same division as Bama, LSU, and Auburn. Their record may not be reflective of how good they are.

LSU has the next big thing in their QB, Jennings, IMO. Plus, Fournette will likely have a big impact immediately.

I agree that we have a tougher schedule than florida but were splitting hairs...the only reason i think its harder is the USU vs Idaho and the Ark St vs whoever the other team was. You see those 2 teams they have are absolute fluff where ours are good to really good teams from lesser conferences...but the Ole Miss vs LSU argument and OU vs FSU argument seem to be a wash to me
