Feels kind of like a 6-game season moving forward

[Perd Hapley]

The next 5 games, then the Egg Bowl.

Somehow go 4-2, and we’re easily in the CFP.

3-3; CFP is possible but maybe a tossup.

2-4 or worse, no chance, and probably a wasted opportunity.

I think we’ll be decently favored in those other 3 games in November.

Can we go 3-3 against Mizzou, Bama, LSU, OU, Texas, and OM?

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Mizzou was unimpressive today. They were 2-11 on third down and only had 91 passing yards. Had to score on a punt return TD to pull ahead.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

I would expect to be favored against Missouri and Oklahoma, and I expect to be competitive with Alabama.

 

[POTUS]

We can absolutely beat Mizzou, LSU & OU. The other three will be big question marks.

It's the attrition that I'm afraid is going to be our undoing. We lost one of our best Dline on a thin line, already have a linebacker out, etc. as those pile up I don't know if we have the horses behind them. Arnett has done an amazing job, but those cupboards had to have been pretty bare when he got there.

 

[57stratdawg]

We are going to murder Missouri. Starkville is going to be rocking next week.

 

[Perd Hapley]

I would expect to be favored against Missouri and Oklahoma, and I expect to be competitive with Alabama.

Possible to be favored in those but it may not be by much, 2-3 points or something. I currently view them as toss-ups.

Auburn / Vandy, on the other hand, I’d expect us to be solid 6-7 pt favorites.

How about one game at a time?

I would expect to be favored against Missouri and Oklahoma, and I expect to be competitive with Alabama.

We won’t be favored against any of those.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

We’re discussing CFP scenarios? Go on. Have a big time.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

How about one game at a time?

We won’t be favored against any of those.

You're going on record to say we won't be favored against Missouri?

 

[Tractorman]

How about one game at a time?

We won’t be favored against any of those.

We will be close to a td favorite vs mizz and we will be favored by 3 vs OK as of now but that may increase.

 

[L4Dawg]

You're going on record to say we won't be favored against Missouri?

I can’t see why we would be. They are ranked and will be ranked ahead of us unless I missed something today. We haven’t played a ranked team yet.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

We should be favored by 3-4 over Missouri

 

[Pak Drescott]

How about one game at a time?

We won’t be favored against any of those.

Oklahoma may be favored over us based on their name but they have looked pedestrian. One score victory over New Mexico and lost to a Michigan team that we all know in reality lost to Western Michigan

 

[57stratdawg]

We should be favored by 3-4 over Missouri

I’d be shocked if we aren’t favored. It’ll be close, but something like MSU -3 makes sense to me.

Might see it open at MSU -1 and then move.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I can’t see why we would be. They are ranked and will be ranked ahead of us unless I missed something today. We haven’t played a ranked team yet.

Rankings don’t mean a thing to Vegas. State will open up a 2 or 3 point favorite to Mizzou at home.

Ok, just win.

 

[Lettuce]

State -3.5 imo

 

[FlotownDawg]

Missouri got outgained by nearly 100 yards by Troy and really just won because of a 2-0 turnover advantage and a punt return TD. They also didn’t look that impressive in beating a bad Kansas team last week. We should be favored and I think we win.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Google AI saying we're opening -1.5 FWIW.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

Alabama scares me because we’ve haven’t shown up against them in years, and even though they’ve started slow the last two weeks, they’ve gone into beast mode both weeks and run away

 

[DT4248]

How about one game at a time?

We won’t be favored against any of those.

Sometimes they give early lines for multiple weeks at certain books and they had the line as State -1.5 vs. Mizzou. I took it because I figured it wouldn't be that cheap after games.

You're already wrong.

 

[The Peeper]

He believes!

Yeah we aren’t beating Alabama. Our last win against them can vote in the midterms. But the formula to beat OU, Auburn & LSU was the formula from last night. We can win 8-9, which should be good enough for all the folks on here who predicted 3.

 

[DT4248]

Oh look... -3.5, Dawgs are favored

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

I can’t see why we would be. They are ranked and will be ranked ahead of us unless I missed something today. We haven’t played a ranked team yet.

And what has Missouri done other than get an undeserved preseason ranking? We’ll be favored for sure. We’ve proved much more than Missouri.

Agreed. Bama has a lot of firepower, it just takes them half the game to get going. They score in bunches. OU and Auburn are very winnable because they are at home. LSU will be really tough on the road.

Agreed on LSU, but Leavitt does not scare me and without #7, he really doesn't scare me. Load up on the run and make them beat us through the air and we can definitely be in that game.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Well it was just Sacalina. Only 3 wins. We had that last year. Let's see how we do against Missouri. Then, maaaybe. Naw, just kidding. Hail State. K1 learned a lot tonight. So did the OL. Hate we lost Bam tho.

 

[patdog]

Oklahoma may be favored over us based on their name but they have looked pedestrian. One score victory over New Mexico and lost to a Michigan team that we all know in reality lost to Western Michigan

You’re being nice. Okie offense has been terrible. Sylvester Croom bad.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

We should be favored by 3-4 over Missouri

I should change my username to Nostradamus! ESPN says MSU -3

No, those miserable 17s will still complain unless we go 16-0 and win the natty. And even then they might complain if we don’t win the games by a big enough margin.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

7 is an absolute monster.
