Not necessarily best teams, but teams based on their talent, scheme, placement on schedule, etc that you most "fear" a loss to

I'll be completely honest, there isn't a game (even with my now WIDELY KNOWN concerns about certain aspects of the defense) that I feel more than casually concerned about. Maybe that's Bama arrogance.

1. @ Mississippi State
2. @ Auburn
3. vs LSU
4. @ Vanderbilt
5. Tennessee
6. Ole Miss
7. @ Texas A&M
8. vs Arkansas
9. vs Mercer

Honestly, the only 2 that even make me the slightest bit concerned are the first 2, and I get nervous very easily. Vanderbilt would concern me a little bit more if they weren't completely built in the fashion of teams that we suffocate.

No idea why you have A&M as a better chance to beat us compared to Arkansas

Because it's there I guess. The difference is 98% vs 97%. They both stink.

There's the extreme alert category where Auburn and LSU lie in wait. Don't kid yourself, they have the talent to stand toe to toe with us and they will be jacked up.

next tier is Tennessee and Miss State- they will get up for us. enough talent to be dangerous.

Everyone else is garbage.

We have a long way to go to be a finished product.

Agree re: Auburn. Don't agree re: LSU. If the game was in Baton Rouge I'd agree. Their team in Tuscaloosa is technically capable of beating us, but I think we'd really have to be lay a massive stinker for it to happen.

Auburn will give us all we want. Their defense is fantastic and they will be better on offense by then. And it's in Auburn. It will be a battle royal.

I just don't see Fitzgerald having much success against us with the way he passes the ball, but if our pass rush doesn't improve by then and with it being in Starkville, it could get interesting.

Unless AU's offense DRASTICALLY improves, I dont see that game being much of a game. Even AU fans would tell you that.

The thing about Auburn is their defense is pretty solid. Our offense hasn't showed me anything that makes me think we put up 30 points against them. Plus it is a rivalry at the end of the season.. I think it is our hardest game.

I think Vandy will be more difficult than MSU. Lack of a pass rush will hurt us more against a passing QB than a dual threat imo

I'll only rank three 3 it's even possible to lose to.

1 - The barn. Their D line is legit

2 - LSU. Yes they just looked like shite, they'll play hard for 60 min against us and we'll play conservatively.

3 - Miss State. I'm not sold on this yet.
