Remaining schedule

[RutherfordBHayes]

@Auburn - Auburn is good. Maybe overrated at #15, but good.
BYU - I don't think BYU is very good. We'll be favored.
Kentucky - Kentucky is as good as they've been in awhile. But can than win in Starkville? I believe we'll be favored.
@A&M - A&M looks terrible. Their D is just bad. Morale is shot. It'll be interesting to see what they do against SC, UA, and UF prior. I believe they'll be beat up and we'll be favored.
UMass - I don't think UMass is very good. We'll be favored.
Alabama - I think Alabama is a pretty good football team.
@Arkansas - Arkansas looks terrible. Their defense is terrible. Their coach will be on the way out, and the fans will have given up by mid-November. I believe we'll be favored.
Egg Bowl - Ole Miss is terrible. Their defense is terrible. Despite the "anything can happen" line, it is rarely an upset. This game is in Starkville. I believe we'll be favored.

I think we we have a good feel for who everybody is after 4 games. LSU is worse than we thought and UGa is better than we thought. But we're 3-1 and should be favored in 6 more games. I believe the consensus was that we would win 7 or 8 games and be pleased with it. The only thing disappointing was how we lost this weekend, but I expect we'll only see one more defense of that caliber. In fact, most of the defenses left on this schedule look pretty weak.

Yep, definitely a disappointing loss (but we've seen em before). Should still be a fun year. I think we're gonna be a lock for 6 wins. I'm fearful we go 2-1 against Kentucky, A&M, and Arky; I'll be disappointed if we go 1-2 in that stretch. I think we should win all 3, but we all know how things can go. I feel great about getting to 7, confident about getting to 8, nice and fuzzy about 9. Icing on the cake would be an upset of Bama and a historic blowout of UM.

I just can't wait for the team to get back to DWS.

One thing I thought of Saturday night...

Alabama - I think Alabama is a pretty good football team.

is really creeping out on a limb here.

Not to be read during work. I have to make up an excuse.

Having seen Kentucky

In week 1, if USM had any kind of consistent QB play in that game, especially the first half, it would have beaten Kentucky. Fitz should give them all they want and more. I don't see them winning in Starkville.

Remaining Schedule

I will be shocked if we make either the Bama or Auburn games competitive. Better chance with Auburn because they are inconsistent, but damned they are talented.

We should clearly be favored against BYU, Kentucky, UMASS, & Ole Miss all at home. It would be extremely disappointing to lose any of these games.

Key games to our season are A & M and UPIG. Both of their seasons are at a real cross-roads right now. I would not mind if A & M lost to South Carolina & Florida along with Bama before playing MSU.

Worst case 7-5, Best case 9-3 unless we the stars line up for us at Aubbie this weekend
