Anyone out there feel differently about our chances

after watching this weekend?

I feel a little better about Auburn and a little worse about LSU. No different about Bama.

But the big difference is the other national teams. Oklahoma, Ohio State, I feel we are right there with them .

If we dont sustain and get to Atlanta, I do feel we will get to a NY6 game. In which case, I think the matchup is with Penn State just for the storyline.

Lot of football left to play. UK, UF games will be fun. Auburn will be very tough. TAM will be tough. LSU may be a bloodbath.

Ultimately, the question is how our offense holds up against elite defenses, because there are three in our division. But Bama is the only one with an elite offense.

Ask again after UK. Wow, can't believe I said that!

I honestly don’t feel much different about LSU. I saw two very beatable teams on the plains yesterday. LSU had one long play. And a bunch turnover or penalty aided points. They also converted a ton of low percentage long 3rd (and one 4th) downs.

If our offense can move the back on either, we will be fine, we are super balanced and have a magic bullet with one if the best running QBs in SEC history..... I think we will beat both.

Please explain the Oklahoma love to me. They gave up 27 points to Iowa State.

Help me understand why you think they are anywhere close to the same level as Bama, Ohio State, or even us?

I know LSU won the game on the plains but I still think Auburn is the better team. I think we beat LSU but lose to Auburn.

Oklahoma is similar to Ole Miss. great offense and really bad defense.

Agree, which is not a top 5 team.

Ole miss has a great offense?

I dont. Oklahoma is a nationally recognized team. They are ranked in the top 5. I feel we compare favorably with them and Ohio State. Bama....I dont know.

I feel very differently. Fitz got over 66% passing and hit some long balls. I was from Missouri on this one. I needed him to show me. He showed me. I was writing off Bama and Auburn and very worried about LSU and TAMU, mildly concerned about a track meet in Oxford. Now I write off only Bama (without Tua we would beat them). Auburn and LSU will still be very challenging due to their defenses (and the possibility that Stidham will play better against us). TAMU is a threat. Ole Mess might still put up a ton of points on us, but we will name our score if this happens. This could very well be an 11-1 year. I feel better about that now than at any point previous.

I am still concerned that I saw Cajun WRs raging uncovered that their QBs could not hit. Tua, Ta'amu, and Stidham hit those guys. And they have better guys to hit. Even Burrow might hit a few. If we can clean this up, my ulcers go away.

Plus you had to love the Aeris and Mixon returns to form and the CumBeast sighting.
