Seeing the schedule that almost every SEC will have to go through this year makes it an absolute joke that we have the stupid 5 CC playoff rule with the top 4 CC champions getting a bye. There is no way for a SEC Team to go 13-0 from here on out. Need to go ahead guarantee the conference a minimum of 4 bids each year.

South Carolina plays 5 of their top 10 this season, including 3 straight weeks of top 10 opponents. 6 of our opponents are in the top 13.
I saw some idiot that said we didn’t have a top 25 schedule because of Akron/Wofford/ODU. This fricking conference

We are very misunderstood by pollsters. We return more key pieces than we lose and I mean experienced pieces that were lost to injury early. I remember one pundit who knocked us down a few for losing a starting LB to the portal but that LB was only starting due to injury and inexperience. I’m not saying we are top 3 or anything like that but the understanding and logic by pundits regarding us as been unsound.

OU plays every ranked team listed except GA. So 6 ranked teams. Meanwhile they gave tx the easiest schedule possible.
Will be fun to play some great teams!

Perhaps, because UCF is....unsound? Just sayin'.

My UCF flair is a joke from the days we all trolled BAMA with it.
I tried to change it years ago but for some reason Firefox and chrome didn’t allow it (prob a scriptblocker but idk).

So it’s a new guy at that spot again instead of the experienced guy?

OU ranked is a joke

Auburn plays 4 of the Preseason Top 9 and this is our easiest schedule in a couple decades.
My thoughts on Auburn using these rankings:
@ #1 Georgia and @ #5 Bama are likely losses just being honest
4 OOC games, Vandy and Arkansas (all at home) should be fairly winnable.
That puts us at 6-2 with the four other games being:
#8 Oklahoma at home
#9 Missouri on the road
Texas A&M at home
Kentucky on the road
I think 8-4 is very doable, and that would be a step in the right direction following the last 3 seasons.

Nah. It’s a guy who got injured. Same at WR. We have a lot of guys who were injured early like Bru. Tho we do have the transfer from Tulane as well.
Our weak point is at RB depending on injuries. We just didn’t have a ton of upperclassmen beyond Milton and Bru and Bru getting injured changed his plans.
ETA also at TE but ours weren’t superstars or anything.

This will still be a UGA home game, don’t kid yourself. Clemson didn’t travel well last time they played in Atlanta.
