I was just curious to see how teams fared after beating Bama.
What was interesting is that most of them, except for Auburn, played the sisters of the poor the week afterward.
Auburn 2014: Won tSECCG
TAMU 2012: Won the next game against Sam Houston 47-28.
LSU 2011: Went on to win the rest of their games until, well, you know. Played against WKU the following week.
LSU 2010: Beat ULM the next week.
Auburn 2010: Beat USCe in SECCG
South Carolina: Lost to UK.
So it seems that most of the teams that beat us had a favorable week afterward to recover. Two teams didn't: Auburn and USCe. A team like Auburn is going to be used to success and beating Bama (unfortunately), whereas USCe went on to shite the bed against UK. UK that year finished 6-7.
I heard in an interview that an OM DB said they practiced Bama for four weeks. Obviously they aren't playing with that kind of time against TAMU. Will be interesting to see how they respond to success.

I know their safety is out for a half. All I can hope is A&M gets a good lead in the first half, then real Bo Wallace shows up in the second. 
I truly believe Arkansas would give Ole Miss fits. I think they can loss two or three (Ark/A&M/whomever, Aub, Miss St).
Now it is up to us to sort out or defensive backs, especially our safeties.

Will feel a lot better about our chances if A&M can pull this off. After that Ole Miss has:
UT at home (very probable win)
@LSU (probable win, with an outside chance LSU could get it together)
Auburn at home (I'd give Auburn the edge right now)
@ Arkansas (probable win, I'm not sold on Arkansas)
MSU at home (toss up type game, but edge Ole Miss because at home)
Some losable games for sure, but them likely having to lose two has me concerned. A loss this weekend, and I'm feeling pretty good about them dropping one more, most likely against Auburn.
