Don't say QBs don't matter.

Also helps we're getting Bama, OM, and LSU at home, east opponents are @Missouri and UK in Starkville. Hold serve at home and we're back in the race for the West/CFBPlayoff.

4th best odds in sec. They look at OM, Florida, aTm, and Georgia as being equal (33-1).

This comes out while every media pundit is picking us dead last in the west. This ain't your daddy's MSU. It seems to have been a while since we've finished last in the west.

I love it. We seem to be at our best when everyone doubts us.

We're ahead of a lot of good teams. I hope they are right in their respect for our team.

Interesting, I felt like we were going to be an 8-4 type team before this came

out and it sounds like they think we might do a little better. We have some good football players and
coaches. The schedule is ok and if things bounce our way it could be a good year. Probably the best group of play makers on offense we have ever had with what we have coming back and what I expect out of some of the new guys. Defense and OL is the big question but I have faith in Manny and Hev.

Comments ..

* ALL 7 SEC West teams listed .. No other Conference, much less Division is even close
* Anybody that mentions 'upgrading' OOC SEC Schedules needs to be flogged .. SEC West schedule is absolutely brutal again .. State plays 6 of 26 listed teams .. OM plays 7 .. LSU plays 7 .. Bama plays 8
* Meanwhile, tOSU plays 1 .. TCU plays 1 .. Oregon plays 4 .. FSU plays 3 .. Baylor plays 2
* MSU will probably be listed in pre-season polls .. won't be 'overlooked' like last year
* Maybe it's just me but I would include Missouri on my list over both Florida and Arkansas
* Vegas seems to think that Auburn & LSU rebound .. Am glad we play them early
* I think we have a way better chance of beating LSU at DWS .. than we do of beating A&M away
* Don't know all the 'reasons' why State is listed so high but Dak returning has to be the main factor

All 3 marquee games at home in one of the toughest home environments in the country. Best case scenario is drop one to Auburn or A&M early to go ahead and get the L out of the way and win out or split Bama / OM. 11-1 or 10-2. I think we're 8-4 at worst barring any significant injuries.

Maybe I'm just too optimistic but I've felt good about this team all along. We were the best offense in SEC in terms of yards per game and 2nd in points per game. We return every playmaker with the exception of Malcolm Johnson and JRob. Our offense should be one of the best in the country next year. I believe our defense will be at least as good.

Doesn't matter if we are ranked preseason. Beat LSU in week 2 and

we will quickly jump into the top 20, maybe top 15. Beat Auburn in week 4, and we'll be Top 8. The preseason doubts of this year's team would be gone.

Just like last year, except last year they were Top 10 teams at the time and we beat them easily. Even if LSU and Auburn aren't ranked as high when we play them and even if we just barely win, we will shoot up the rankings. Win those and at A&M, and we'll be top 5 or 6. May not make #1 or even Top 3, but we'll be up there.

If we can win 2 of 3 between LSU, @Auburn, and @A&M (and win the non-conf and UK), I'll be extremely happy mid-season at 7-1 going into @Missouri, Bama, @Arkansas, and OM.

Odds aside, not sure whether that says more about Florida or the other three.

A&M has played rather terrible at Kyle Field lately. They will probably turn it around just in time for State.

State plays well at Jergan's Hair. That game could be for the SEC West.

I don't see how LSU rebounds this season with Chavis leaving and questions at QB.

Toughest game on the schedule is UPigg.

Matt Wyatt says no worries there

I say no worries. The ceiling is as high as its ever been on the OL at MSU. The floor is having to play 6th year sr. Damian Robinson.
