We aren't winning any off season titles with this attitude.

Brutal, wish we got USC-E instead of Florida for 2016. At least our away SEC schedule is somewhat favorable next year.

With what we return on defense I don't think we come close to losing all of our home league games.

It's really too early to predict now anyway. We have to see what happens with Collins, Henry, Kirkland, etc. on offense.

Road, at TCU.

No idea why whenever we play a P5 OOC opponent the first game of the home-and-home is at their place. Happened with Texas in '03, USC in '05, Texas in '08 (still waiting for ours), Tech in '14 and now TCU in '16. We also start a home-and-home with Michigan in 2018, in which the first game is - you guessed it - in Ann Arbor.

The only solace I have with the TCU game is we'll both be breaking in new QBs and our defense should be solid.

Other than that we'll be biting the pillow unless Patterson owns a motorcycle and has a thing for volleyball players.

Idk why your chalking lsu and Florida up as an L already, especially when your giving a&m a toss up game. They've had more success against us than lsu or Alabama the last 2 years, and it's too early to tell if Florida is actually good or just a flash in the pan, let's not forget even Muschamp had an 11 win season.

And all of those sec losses you have predicted are at home. I have a hard time believing we're going 0fer in Fayetteville and if we do that'll probably be it for beilama.

I've said this before, but we have the absolute worst luck when it comes to scheduling. Seems that whenever we return a ton of players and are primed for a good year, it's always in an odd year when we're playing @Bama, @Ole Miss, and @LSU.

Also, we always seem to be getting our non-permanent opponents when they're back on the upswing. We had USC in their few glory years under Spurrier, yet they fell into the gutter the very year they stopped playing us. Not to mention that we'll catch Florida again when they're back on the upswing, and we get Michigan when Harbaugh has them rolling. Not to mention the fact we drew Toledo - still no excuse - the year they make a run at a NY6 game.

I have no doubt that by the time Tennessee shows back up on our schedule, they'll have hired Gruden, and Vanderbilt will have become an emerging power under Bill Belichick when they come our way.

I think this is a fairly reactionary paradigm instead of an absolute. The scheduling always looks tough when you're bad/average, and easy when you're good. In 2010/2011 scheduling was "favorable" because we were good. Now it's not because we're a middle of the pack team.

It is eerie how we seem to always be catching teams just when they've returned to being decent.

TCU is historically good. Pretty sure we could've played TCU any time in the previous 30 years prior to 2012ish and we would be favored by a lot

I would have agreed until looking at who we play at home

I mean we always play lsu good and have played Alabama well the past 2 seasons. You shouldn't be worried with pro style teams as much as spread teams as long as beilamas here. He knows how to stop a pro style attack. Not so much with the spread.
